# Tasks and reminders that actually ping you > Say what needs doing and when. You get a task on your list and, if you asked, a real scheduled message in Telegram at that time. Canonical: https://memtomo.com/features/tasks-and-reminders/ Most apps make you choose between a to-do list and an alarm. The assistant does not: one sentence can create a task with a due date, a reminder at a specific time, or both, linked to each other. ## What you can say - **“Add a task to send the invoice by Friday”** — a task, due Friday, no reminder. - **“Remind me at 3pm to call the dentist”** — a reminder only; it pings you at 15:00 and that is it. - **“…and remind me the morning before”** — a task plus a linked reminder. - **“What's on my plate today?”** — the list, in chat, wherever you are. ## How it works A reminder is a scheduled delivery job, not a tagged task. When the time comes, the backend sends the message on the channel your account is connected to — Telegram, WhatsApp or email. The task stays on your list with its status (`New`, `In progress`, `Done`) and due date, shows up in the calendar view, and can be linked to notes and files. ## Recurring reminders “Every Monday at 9…” is what a reminder should understand next: the same object with a repeat interval, stopped from the chat or the app. ## In the app Tasks have their own tab with list, board and calendar views. Tick a task off with the circle beside it, or set any status straight from the list: the built-in New, In progress and Done, or one you make up. Opening a task shows its description, tags and links to related notes, and each part is edited where it is shown: the title, the status, the due date and time, the description. Under the calendar sits the selected day's agenda of tasks and reminders. The Reminders tab splits reminders into Upcoming, Sent and All, grouped by day, and adds a new one in two taps: what, then when — in an hour, tonight, tomorrow morning or any time you pick. Change anything in the app or by saying it in chat — both edit the same object.
