Siri reminders alternative: reminders in WhatsApp
Updated . Prices and features checked against each product's own website.
If you're looking for a Siri reminders alternative, maybe because you've moved to Android, or Siri keeps mishearing you, Mindie takes voice reminders as WhatsApp voice notes. Record "remind me tomorrow at 9 to call the bank", and Mindie confirms and messages you at 9.
On an iPhone, "Hey Siri, remind me..." is hard to beat for speed.

The short answer
- Stay with Siri if you're on Apple devices and want hands-free reminders, including ones tied to a place.
- Try Mindie if you use Android or Windows too, speak more than one language, or want to see exactly what was understood before trusting it.

Where Siri is better
Siri is hands-free, built in and free. It can remind you when you arrive somewhere and saves to Apple Reminders, which syncs across your Apple devices.
Where Mindie fits
Mindie is a contact in your WhatsApp. You text it the way you'd text a friend ("pay rent on the 5th at 10am"), or send a voice note or a screenshot, and it replies with the time it understood. If you leave out a time, it asks. At the right moment it messages you in the same chat, and you reply to move or cancel the reminder.
Voice notes can be long and messy. Mindie pulls out the reminders, so a voice note with three tasks becomes three reminders, each with its own time. You can also mix languages mid-sentence, the way many people actually speak.
Price
Mindie is free for 7 days with every feature. A card is saved at checkout, nothing is charged during the trial, and Mindie texts you two days before it ends. After that it's $9 a month or $90 a year, with a 7-day money-back guarantee on the first payment. Cancel any time by texting "cancel". See pricing or start your trial.
Questions
Is Mindie hands-free like Siri?
No. You open WhatsApp and record a voice note. There's no wake word.
Which languages work?
English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese voice notes.
What if Mindie mishears?
It replies with what it understood, including the time, so you can correct it with a quick reply.
Can I change a reminder after setting it?
Yes. Reply in plain words, like "push it to 7" or "cancel that". You don't need to find it in another app.
Does Mindie work when I switch from iPhone to Android?
Yes. It's tied to your WhatsApp number and not your phone's brand, so your reminders stay in the same place.
