  • Any phone, no app
  • Missed? Rio tells you
You add Mom. You tell Rio to call her every day at 9 about her medicine, and Rio schedules it. At 9:00 Rio calls her and plays your voice: Mom, it's time for your medicine. Rio calls every day. If she presses 1, you see it's done. If she misses the call, Rio tells you.

On the call

Your name first. Then your words.

Every call opens with who it's from. Then one key tells you what happened.

  3. 0:07“Press 1 if you've done it, 2 to hear it again later, 3 if not. Press 9 to stop these calls.”

Your name comes first, so it never sounds like a stranger.

No answer? Rio tries again in 5 minutes, then tells you.

Three ways to use it

One reminder for each person you look after.

Medicine, pickups, homework. You set the time and the words once; Rio makes the call every time.

Mom's medicine

Every day at 9, Mom hears your voice: “Mom, it's time for your medicine.” She presses 1. At work, you see it's done.

The swimming pickup

Every Friday at 4, Dan's phone rings with your message about the pickup. You stop being the family's alarm clock.

Homework

Every school day at 5, Leo hears “time to do your homework”. He presses 1. You don't have to nag.
