How to set a reminder in Telegram

Tell the bot what and when — “remind me at 6pm to call Mum” — and a message arrives in Telegram at that time. Check or cancel it by asking.

A due date sits on a list; a reminder comes to you. The bot keeps the two apart on purpose: ask for a reminder and you get a scheduled message, not a task with a date nobody reads. Reminders are delivered by a job on the server, in the messenger your account is connected to.

  1. Open the web app once

    “6pm” means 6pm where you are once the web app has seen your time zone; it picks it up the first time you open it. Until then times are read as UTC.

  2. Say what and when

    “Remind me tomorrow at 3pm to call the dentist.” The reply confirms the time it understood; the same message can add a task too.

    1. Remind me to call the dentist tomorrow at 3pm, and add a task to send the invoice to Acme by Friday

    2. Done — one reminder, one task.

      ⏰ Call the dentist✅ Send the invoice to Acme

  3. Get the message

    At that time the bot sends the reminder as a Telegram message. It is sent from the server, so it arrives with the app closed.

  4. Check or cancel

    “What reminders do I have?” lists them; “cancel the dentist reminder” removes it. For a new time, cancel it and ask again. The Reminders page in the web app shows the same list.

Questions

Can it repeat every week?Soon

Not yet — each reminder fires once. Repeating reminders are next: “every Monday at 9…”.

Can a reminder be tied to a task?

Yes. “Remind me about the invoice task on Thursday morning” links the reminder to the task; you see it on the task’s page.

Do reminders cost credits?

Creating one uses a little AI; delivering it uses none.
