Free for 7 days, then $15/mo. Cancel anytime.
Why Reminder Apps Stop Working
You download a reminder app with the best intentions. It works for a week, maybe two. Then you stop opening it. The reminders pile up inside the app where you never see them. The problem is not willpower. The problem is that apps require you to go to them. allora flips that. The reminder comes to you as a text message.
Every reminder app requires an app
That means downloading, updating, granting permissions, learning the interface, and remembering to open it. allora requires none of that. It uses the texts you already have.
Notification fatigue is real
The average person gets over 200 notifications a day. Your reminder is competing with social media, news, and spam. Text messages cut through because people actually read them.
Another account to manage
New email, new password, new profile. Most people have hundreds of accounts. allora works with just your phone number. No account dashboard to maintain.
Three reminders set in one text. No app involved.
alloraSMSHow It Works
Three steps. No signup flow, no tutorial, no settings to configure.
Text what you need to remember
Open your messages and type it out. "Remind me to call the vet tomorrow at 10" or "pick up the prescription after work." No app to open, no form to fill out. Just text it the way you would tell a friend.
remind me to call the vet tomorrow at 10
allora confirms the reminder
Within seconds, you get a text back with what allora understood and when it will remind you. If the time is unclear, allora asks. Otherwise it is confirmed in one exchange.
Got it. Call the vet - tomorrow at 10:00 AM
Your reminder arrives as a text message
Tomorrow at 10 AM, a text pops up in the same conversation. Not a notification buried under a dozen others. A real text message that stays visible until you handle it. Reply done when finished.
Reminder: Call the vet
