ReadWhy people look for an alternative
Most reminder apps work fine. The problem is that they live in an app you stop opening after a few weeks, so the reminders pile up unseen. Mindie works from a WhatsApp chat, where most people already spend their day, and replies to a plain sentence or a voice note.
Each page says where the other app is the better choice too. If you want side-by-side comparisons with other WhatsApp tools, read the guide to WhatsApp reminder apps.
Questions, answered.
Anything else? support@getmindie.app
No. Many people keep their to-do or notes app for planning and use Mindie for the reminders they'd otherwise miss, because WhatsApp is the app they actually check.
There's no import. Send the few reminders that matter as messages, or a screenshot of your list, and Mindie sets them up after checking with you.
Every feature is free for 7 days. After that it's $9 a month or $90 a year, with a 7-day money-back guarantee on the first payment.
Memorae, NagMeLater, Coco, Any.do and Dola work in WhatsApp like Mindie does, so they get side-by-side comparisons. They're listed in the guide to WhatsApp reminder apps.
