## Messages to send Mindie
- Before a night shift: "Remind me Thursday at 3pm to sleep for two hours before the night shift"
- Licence and training: "Remind me on 1 March at 10am my nursing licence renewal is due by 31 March"
- A swap you agreed to: "Note: swapped Saturday's day shift with Hannah, I'm on Sunday nights instead"

Mindie is a WhatsApp assistant for a nurse's or shift worker's own reminders: rota changes, licence renewals, sleep before nights, and the life admin that gets pushed aside. Send "remind me Thursday at 3pm to sleep for two hours before the night shift" and it's set.

Shift work breaks every normal routine. Bills, appointments and calls happen in daytime hours you're asleep for, and a rota that changes weekly makes fixed habits hard to keep.

## What shift workers use it for

- **Rota changes and swaps,** noted the moment they're agreed.
- **Sleep and meals** around night shifts.
- **Licence renewals and mandatory training** deadlines.
- **Life admin:** bills, appointments and calls, timed for your days off.
- **Water and breaks** on long shifts. See [drink water reminders](/reminders/drink-water).

## Why it fits

- **Voice notes on a break,** in a few seconds.
- **Screenshots of the rota** become reminders, after Mindie checks the dates with you.
- **No new app** to learn on a twelve-hour shift.

## What to keep out of it

Mindie is for your own life, not patient care. Keep patient names and clinical details in your hospital's systems.

## How it works

Link your WhatsApp number, then send reminders, notes and lists in plain words, voice notes or screenshots. Mindie confirms each one and messages you on time, in your timezone. Reply to a reminder to move it. Every Sunday it sends a recap of the week ahead.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't message colleagues** or manage rotas.
- **It isn't an alarm.** For waking up, use your phone's alarm too.

## FAQ

### Should I put patient details in Mindie?
No. Mindie is for your own reminders and life admin. Patient information belongs in your hospital's systems.

### My shifts change every week. Can Mindie keep up?
Yes. Send each week's shifts as one message or a screenshot of the rota, and Mindie sets the reminders after checking them with you.

### Will it message me while I sleep after a night shift?
Only if a reminder is set for that time. Move or delete anything that falls in your sleep window with a quick reply.
