A reminder bot running since 2016: write "call John in 20 minutes" or "pay for internet every 1st of the month" and Skeddy sends it on time, in a private chat or a group. Snooze, tasks you tick off and a Mini App for schedules; free, about 13 thousand monthly users.
Skeddy turns a sentence into a reminder. You write what and when in plain words, such as "check the pie every 10 minutes" or "water the plants every Sunday at 1pm", the bot confirms the time it understood and sends the message when it is due. When it arrives you can mark it done, add time or pick a new moment, all from the chat. English and Russian phrasing is understood natively; since 2021 the settings have also let you switch on date parsing for more languages, among them Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian and Arabic, which the developer describes as working "to some extent".
In August 2026 the bot was rewritten from scratch after almost ten years on the old code. The separate website was replaced by a Telegram Mini App, where recurring schedules are set precisely (by interval, weekday, month or year, with a date range) and where a reminder can be kept as a task that waits until you tick it off. Group support was reworked too: add Skeddy to a group, create a reminder with /add, and it posts there on time; administrators decide whether members may manage reminders. A few older workflows came back in a follow-up update a week later, and the team plans quarterly releases.
Skeddy is free, with optional donations for server costs, and the t.me page counts about 13 thousand users a month.
