Reminders you set in WhatsApp

Updated 3 November 2026.

To set a reminder in WhatsApp, text it to a reminder assistant that lives in WhatsApp. With Mindie you send one message, such as "remind me to call the bank tomorrow at 11", and at 11 the next morning Mindie messages you in the same chat. No app to open, no form to fill in, no date picker.

WhatsApp's own tools are built for keeping messages, not for nudging you later. Starring a message or pinning a chat keeps something visible, but neither one turns "call the bank tomorrow at 11" into a message that arrives at 11. That gap is what Mindie fills.

How to set a reminder in WhatsApp with Mindie

1. Start your trial on getmindie.app. The 7-day free trial includes every feature.
2. Link your WhatsApp number. The site shows a six-digit code. Send "verify" and the code to Mindie on WhatsApp and your number is connected.
3. Text the reminder in your own words. "Remind me to send the invoice on Friday at 4", "in 20 minutes take the cake out", or a voice note saying the same.
4. Check the reply. Mindie answers with the date and time it understood, so a wrong guess is easy to spot.
5. Get the message on time. When it's due, Mindie messages you. Reply to push it later or cancel it.

That's the whole setup. After the first message, setting a reminder takes as long as typing the sentence.

What you can send, and what Mindie does with it

Mindie works out relative times ("in an hour", "tonight", "next Thursday") in your own timezone, so a reminder for 9 am is 9 am where you are.

Moving, snoozing and cancelling by reply

You never have to open a list to change a reminder. Reply in the chat:

• "push it to 3pm" or "move it to Friday" changes the time.
• "what reminders do I have this week?" shows what's coming, with dates.
• "delete the gym reminder" removes it. Mindie names the reminder and asks you to confirm before deleting anything, so a stray "ok" can't wipe out the wrong one.

Reminders or calendar events?

A reminder is a nudge: Mindie messages you at a time. A calendar event is a block of time that other apps and people can see. Mindie does both. Say "add a meeting with Emma on Friday at 3pm to my calendar" and it goes into Google Calendar or Outlook. When you ask for a reminder about a meeting, Mindie sets it 15 minutes early so you have time to prepare.

Who uses WhatsApp reminders

• Founders and freelancers remembering follow-ups promised on calls, like "send Dana the proposal on Thursday morning".
• Parents keeping track of school forms, fees and pickups.
• Anyone with medicine, bills or renewals, where a missed day costs money or health.
• People who already message themselves notes to remember. Mindie turns those notes to self into reminders that come back.

The common thread is that WhatsApp is the app they check most, so a reminder there is the one they'll see.

What Mindie doesn't do

• It doesn't remind other people or post in groups. Reminders go to you, in your chat with Mindie.
• It isn't an alarm. A reminder is a message, so it follows your WhatsApp notification settings.
• It doesn't answer general questions. Ask it to write an essay or look something up and it will say that's not what it does. It sticks to your reminders, notes, lists and calendar.

Your messages stay yours

Mindie only sees the messages you send to it, never your other chats or contacts. Your messages are never sold or used to train AI models, and you can text "clear our chat" to delete your history. Details are in the privacy policy.

What it costs

Every feature is free for 7 days. After that, Mindie is $9 a month or $90 a year (two months free), and there's a 7-day money-back guarantee on the first payment. You can cancel any time by texting "cancel". See pricing.
