Reminders

Say it to KeyUp or type “remind me in 20 minutes to …” and KeyUp reminds you with a notification. Private to you, on every plan, no AI key needed.

A reminder is a note to yourself that KeyUp sends back to you at the time you say, as a notification on your phone and a full screen card on your watch. You set it by saying or typing one sentence, like “remind me in 20 minutes to check the oven” or “remind me tomorrow at 8 AM to message Jake”. It works on every plan, with or without an AI assistant, and needs no AI key. Only you see it.

Reminders. Type or say a reminder, make it repeat every weekday, and see Done and Delete in the list. Captions only, no sound needed.

What you can say

Start with the trigger words, then the time, then what to remind you about. KeyUp understands the time by a fixed set of rules, not by an AI, so it answers the same way every time. Only when the rules find no time, and your Space has an assistant with its own key that you agreed to, KeyUp asks that assistant for the time and nothing else.

  1. Trigger words. English: remind me. Spanish: recuérdame. German: erinnere mich. French: rappelle-moi. Portuguese: lembra-me or lembre-me. Italian: ricordami. The rest of the sentence is in the same language.
  2. How long from now. “Remind me in 20 minutes to check the oven.” Minutes, hours or days.
  3. A time. “Remind me at 8 to call the vet.” “Remind me at 8:30 PM to take the bins out.” A time that has already passed today means tomorrow.
  4. A day. “Remind me tomorrow at 8 AM to message Jake.” “Remind me on November 6 at 9 AM to renew the pass.” “Remind me next Monday at 10 AM to send the list.”
  5. A part of the day. “Remind me tomorrow morning to …” is 8:00 AM, afternoon is 2:00 PM, evening is 6:00 PM, and “tonight” is 9:00 PM.
  6. KeyUp answers with one plain sentence in your language, for example “OK. Tomorrow at 8:00 AM: message Jake.” Check the time in it. If KeyUp cannot work out a time, it says “Say a time, like in 20 minutes or tomorrow at 8.” Say it again with a clear time.

Where to set one

Watch

Swipe up and tap Remind me, or use the Remind me tile, a watch button set to the KeyUp Remind me app (see Choose the button), or the Remind me complication on your watch face. Say the sentence (see Say it to KeyUp below). The answer is read back to you.

Phone

You › Account and plan › Reminders: tap the mic beside the box and say the sentence, or type it and send it. Or say or type it with Ask AI where that is shown.

Web app and iPhone

In the web app and the iPhone app, Remind me records the sentence the same way when the device has a microphone; otherwise type it. You can also say or type it with Ask AI on the room card, or type it in the room chat as an Ask AI question.

Say it to KeyUp

KeyUp records the sentence with its own microphone and turns it into text itself, so you don’t need your keyboard’s dictation (Gboard, Groqboard or any other). It works on every plan.

Watch

  1. Open Remind me from the list, the tile, a watch button or the complication. The mic opens at once with the arming buzz: say the sentence.
  2. Stop speaking, or tap, and it stops. It waits for about 2.5 seconds of quiet before it ends, so a short pause to think does not cut your reminder off. The watch says Working on it..., then shows the answer, like “OK. Tomorrow at 8:00 AM: message Jake.”
  3. If the sentence had no time, the watch says so and offers Say it again.
  4. Rather type it, or use your own dictation? Tap Use keyboard. The recording stops and nothing is sent; the watch’s own keyboard and dictation screen opens, and what you type or dictate is sent as the reminder. If a typed reminder can’t be sent (no connection, for example), it comes back filled in the next time you tap Use keyboard.
  5. Once you stopped the recording (or sent a typed one), you can leave the Remind me screen at once: the reminder is still set, and a small notification titled Remind me shows KeyUp’s answer, like “OK. In 10 minutes: Call Sam.” Leaving before you stop throws the recording away and sends nothing.
  6. KeyUp’s transcription busy right now, or it can’t do the language you spoke? Then the watch’s own dictation box opens by itself, with no extra tap, and the answer ends with Transcribed by this watch’s dictation.
  7. Any other problem, like no connection, the daily limit, or not having agreed to KeyUp turning your voice into text: the watch says why, and you type the reminder instead.

Phone

  1. The Remind me shortcut (touch and hold the KeyUp icon) opens the same recorder, with a Use keyboard button: it opens a text box with your phone’s keyboard right away, so a dictation keyboard such as Gboard or Groqboard works too. It waits for about 2.5 seconds of quiet before it ends, like the watch.
  2. In You › Account and plan › Reminders, type in the box (Use keyboard puts the cursor there and opens the keyboard), or tap the mic beside the box. The same steps follow; a sentence with no time goes into the box so you can add one. If KeyUp’s transcription is busy or can’t do the language you spoke, the phone’s own dictation takes over and the answer ends with Transcribed by this phone’s dictation. For any other problem, the phone says why and you type the sentence in the box.

Web app and iPhone

In the web app, You › Account › Reminders: the mic shows when the browser can record. If KeyUp’s transcription is busy or can’t do the language you spoke, the web app offers a Use my browser’s speech service button, with a sentence saying your browser’s speech service may send the recording to the company that makes your browser, for example Google or Apple. Nothing goes to it unless you tap the button. Then say the sentence again: it goes into the box with Transcribed by your browser’s speech service., so you can check it and send it. For any other problem, type the sentence. In the iPhone app, You › Account › Reminders: the same mic. If KeyUp’s transcription is busy or can’t do the language you spoke, the iPhone turns the sentence into text on the phone itself and the answer ends with Transcribed on this phone. For any other problem, type it.

Reminders that repeat

Say how often in the sentence, and the reminder comes back by itself.

  1. Every day (or daily): “Remind me every day at 8 AM to take my pills.”
  2. Weekdays, Monday to Friday: “Remind me on weekdays at 7:30 to check the van.”
  3. Every Monday (or any other day): “Remind me every Monday at 9 to send the timesheet.”
  4. Every morning, afternoon, evening or night repeats every day at that time of day.
  5. Done finishes this one, and the next one appears in your list on all your devices. To stop the repeats for good, tap the reminder and Delete on the watch, or Delete in the phone’s list.

Who turns your voice into text

  1. If the Space whose room you had open uses its own transcription key, and you agreed to that provider, your sentence goes there. On Plus and Plus 10 its seconds count toward the 20 hours a month of your own key.
  2. Otherwise KeyUp’s own transcription does it, outside your plan’s transcript hours.
  3. Each person can speak up to 20 reminders a day, including the ones your Space’s own key turns into text. After that KeyUp says when you can speak one again; until then, type your reminders.
  4. Your watch, phone or browser turns a spoken reminder into text only when KeyUp’s transcription is busy or can’t do the language you spoke, as described in Say it to KeyUp above.
  5. A spoken reminder can be up to 15 seconds long.
  6. For now KeyUp’s own transcription understands English only. A reminder spoken in another language goes to your Space’s own key if it has one. Otherwise your watch’s or phone’s own dictation turns it into text, or, in the web app, your browser’s speech service if you tap its button, the same way as when KeyUp’s transcription is busy.
  7. The recording is deleted as soon as the text exists. Nothing is kept in Replay, room history or transcripts.

See, snooze and finish

Watch

  1. Swipe up, Reminders: overdue ones first, then the next ones, then the ones you finished. Tap one for Snooze, Done or Delete. When one is due the watch shows a full screen card with the text, buzzes twice (in your Buzz style) and offers Done and Snooze 10 min.
  2. While the watch is locked, the card shows and says only Reminder, with Done and Snooze. Unlock the watch and the reminder’s words show, and are read aloud if the locked card was read.
  3. Two reminders due at the same time come one after the other: the card says 1 of 2, and after Done or Snooze the next one shows (and is read aloud then).

Phone

  1. You › Account and plan › Reminders lists the overdue and active ones, next first, and the ones finished in the last 7 days. A due reminder is a notification with Done and Snooze 10 min. Tap the notification to open your reminders.
  2. A reminder that repeats also has Delete in the list. It stops the repeats for good, on all your devices.

Web app and iPhone

In the web app, You › Account › Reminders lists them the same way, and each waiting reminder has Done and Snooze 10 min, like the phone.

No answer? KeyUp reminds you again every 10 minutes, for up to an hour, until you tap Done or Snooze. The Reminders tile, the home screen widget and the Talk tab card show what is next. See Remind again, the Reminders tile and widget.
