Oh Don’t Forget closing, others gone, but one still here

Some years back, I talked on my podcast about services that could be used for reminders. While they differed slightly, Oh Don’t Forget and Snoozester were two good ones.

The other site which we can’t link was called Waker Upper.

All had their days and I used them all for what they offered.

So far, Snoozester still seems to be operating, and searching for free or low cost reminder services ar meant for those who are professionals. Sound Bite was good for sending messages back and forth, but now they do reminder services and things of that nature for professionals.

I try to see what’s there in the space, cause I may just want a reminder to do something and the reminders app on the phone just bugs me. I don’t need to be notified every time I unlock my phone to send the football schedule at 3 PM on Wednesday. But I use the reminders app for that because there’s an end date where I don’t need it.

Waker Upper and these other services were good at just reminding me and leaving me alone. Another service I used which sent by email was Go Ping Me.

But sadly, a lot of these services are now either reduced to business use, or not existing anymore.

I tried to figure out what to use for reminders of things and Oh Don’t Forget and Snoozester came to mind. Oh Don’t forget wasn’t even giving me my text messages as it explains on its notice to close.

I don’t necessarily blame them, but I did leave them feedback as well as a refund request which they’ll honor.

If there is a service that you’re using, please drop a note in the comments and let us know. I’d be curious on what’s out there for people who may not want to set everything up on a smart device.

And yes, I could use my lady A device as we call it, but if I’m not home, and a reminder pops up, I’m not going to hear it although it could in theory pop up on my phone.

Let’s see what else is out there. Thanks for listening and reading!
