A normal reminder goes off once. You swipe it away, tell yourself you'll do it tonight, and the deadline arrives anyway.
What works is someone who asks again tomorrow, and the day after, until it's done. Kiwi does that.
How it works
Text Kiwi what needs doing and by when:
Nag me every day until I've sent my internship application. The deadline is Friday
Kiwi picks a time that suits you, or uses the one you give, and says when the first text comes:
I'll text you every evening at 20:00 until your internship application is in, and on Friday, the last day, I'll ring you if it still isn't. Tell me when it's sent
Then it texts you every evening. When it's done, just say so ("done", "sent it", or a 👍) and it stops.
On the last day, a call
If it still isn't done on the last day, Kiwi can ring your phone, so it doesn't get lost under everything else. Say if you'd rather it didn't, and it won't.
What people use it for
- An internship or job application before it closes
- An essay, a thesis chapter or a report due on Friday
- An expense report, an invoice or a form at work
- Booking the dentist, renewing a passport or calling the bank
- A reply you keep meaning to send
With your email connected, Kiwi also checks before each text whether it's already done, such as an application's confirmation in your inbox, so it doesn't nag you about something you've finished.
