The friendly nag
Hand Pally the thing you keep putting off. It won't forget, and it won't let you either.
The routine
How it works
A reminder app pings once and gives up. Pally keeps showing up on the schedule you set until you tell it the thing is done.
- Text Pally the task, how often you want to hear about it, and what counts as done.
- Each nudge lands in your texts on your schedule.
- The nag stops when you say the finish line is reached.
The full routine
Text Pally the task, how often you want to hear about it, and what counts as done. Pally checks the finish line before the first nudge.
Each nudge lands in your texts on your schedule. Reply that you made progress, need a different time, or want a pause, and the next nudge follows.
The nag stops when you say the finish line is reached. If you go a week without writing or reacting to Pally, it pauses its reminders and tells you once.
Good for
- Appointments you have postponed more than once
- Forms or renewals without a useful built-in reminder
- Small household jobs that keep slipping to tomorrow
- Following through on a message you need to send
- Habits that benefit from a firm, conversational nudge
Things to try
Before you start
Common questions
How does Pally know when to stop?
You set the finish line when you set up the nag, and you tell Pally when you reach it. If the request is vague, Pally asks whether done means started, booked, sent, or finished.
Can I change the nag after it starts?
Yes. Reply with a new time, cadence, pause, or finish line, and Pally updates it. No need to start over.
What if I ignore it for a while?
After 7 days with no message or reaction from you, Pally pauses its reminders and tells you once. Write to Pally and the nag picks up on its next scheduled day.
