Start using Caddy for reminders
CaddyExample workflow

Remind me tonight to make my grocery list

Got it. I'll text you at 7pm tonight

The problem

Reminder apps are easy to ignore because they sit outside the conversation where the task started.

How Caddy helps

  • Set one-off and recurring reminders from a simple text.
  • Attach context from email, calendar, Slack, or tasks so the reminder explains why it matters.
  • Get a direct follow-up in Messages when it is time to act.

Why Caddy is different

Caddy lives in Messages, so the workflow starts where you already text. It can text first when something matters, use connected tools when you allow it, and ask for approval before sensitive actions like sending email or changing calendar details.

What the workflow looks like

  1. 1

    Text Caddy the thing you need to remember and when it should happen.

  2. 2

    Caddy saves the reminder with the right timing and context.

  3. 3

    Caddy will send you a text to remind you.

Texts to try

  • Remind me tonight to make my grocery list
  • Text me every Friday at 3 to approve payroll
  • Remind me tomorrow morning to follow up with Janie

Common scenarios

Replace a standalone reminder app

Set one-off and recurring reminders in the same Messages thread where you already ask Caddy for help.

Remember follow-ups from email

Turn an email into a timed follow-up so the reminder includes the context behind the task.

Capture tasks while away from your desk

Use Siri or iMessage to capture the reminder before the thought disappears.

Best ways to use it

  • Include the desired action, not just the deadline.
  • Use recurring wording for routines like payroll, workouts, errands, or weekly follow-ups.
  • Forward related emails or screenshots when the reminder needs extra context.

Frequently asked questions

Can Caddy replace Apple Reminders?

Caddy can cover lightweight reminders from Messages, including one-off reminders, recurring reminders, and follow-up texts.
