Reminders for family and the people who help you
Keep the whole family on the same page by sending one reminder to several people at once. Reach loved ones on almost any phone, and remind the babysitter or dog walker without asking them to install anything.
Set Text Go sends a real text message, not a push notification, so your reminder reaches almost any phone. The people you remind need no app and no account.
Free to download. Pay as you go, no subscription. Available in the United States and Canada.
A family runs on a hundred small reminders
Someone has to remember that Dad takes his medication at nine, that the sitter picks the kids up at three, that the dog walker needs the gate code, and that grandma has an appointment tomorrow. Usually that someone is you, and holding it all in your head is how one of them slips.
Set Text Go lets you set each of those reminders once and send it to the right person automatically. Send the same reminder to several people at once so the whole family stays on the same page, and text the helpers who need no app and no account. The reminder goes out as a plain text they will actually read.
One place to set it up, and everyone gets the nudge without you being the reminder.
One place to send each reminder to the right person
Reminders for everyone in your circle
Family, loved ones, and the people who help you, all from one place.
The whole family at once
Send one reminder to several people so everyone gets the same message. Practice times, chores, and plans stay in sync.
Loved ones on almost any phone
Reach a parent, grandparent, or partner on almost any phone, even one without a smartphone. The reminder is a plain text.
The babysitter
Text the sitter the pickup time, the bedtime routine, or the allergy note. They need no app and no account to get it.
The dog walker
Send the gate code and the walk time as a plain text, so the walker has what they need right when they arrive.
Medication and care
A daily text nudges a parent or loved one to take their medication, even if they do not use apps at all.
Appointments and pickups
Remind grandma about her appointment or the kids about a pickup, so the details land with the right person on time.
A real text, so no one needs an app
The people you want to remind are not going to install an app and make an account, and some of them do not carry a smartphone at all. That is the whole point of a real text. Set Text Go sends a true SMS over the phone network, so the sitter, the dog walker, and grandma all get a plain message in their text inbox, on almost any phone, with nothing to set up on their end.
