    Updated Aug 2026

    Jon's Reminders is an SMS reminder service built for the person who carries the family calendar in their head and for the loved ones who'll never download an app. Create reminders on a web dashboard or by texting the toll-free number in plain English — an AI parses your message into structured, scheduled reminders, so 'remind me to call the pharmacy tomorrow at 3' just works. The person receiving reminders needs nothing: no app, no account, any phone including flip phones. Manage a parent's or spouse's schedule from your dashboard while they simply get friendly texts. Consent-first invites mean reminders for someone else never send until they reply YES to opt in, and heads-up alerts let you know if your loved one doesn't confirm — so you only step in when needed. Jon's Reminders is designed for adult children caring for aging parents, spouses managing shared logistics, and anyone who wants a zero-friction way to keep the people they love on schedule.
