These Telegram bots send you a message at a set time or after a set interval, for one-off reminders, recurring tasks, and countdown timers, without leaving the chat.
We are still testing bots for this page. Check back soon or suggest one.
We set up the same 5 reminders in every bot: a one-off reminder in natural language ("remind me in 20 minutes"), a reminder tied to a specific date and time, a recurring weekly reminder, a reminder in a group chat rather than a private one, and a simple countdown timer. We checked whether natural-language input worked without rigid command syntax, whether reminders survived a bot restart, and how many active reminders the free tier allowed.
The single most useful feature is natural-language parsing: a bot that understands "remind me tomorrow at 9am to call the bank" saves real time over one that requires a fixed command like /remind 09:00 2026-09-05. Test it with a phrase that isn't perfectly formatted — a bot that only works with exact syntax will frustrate you the first time you're typing quickly on a phone.
Recurring reminders are where bots differ most: check whether the bot supports "every weekday" or "every 2 hours," or only a fixed daily time, and whether you can pause a recurring reminder without deleting it outright. Group-chat support matters too if you want to remind a whole team — not every bot lets you set a reminder that pings the group rather than just you.
Most bots in this list are free with no cap on reminders at all, so price rarely decides. The bigger risk with a reminder bot isn't the limit but reliability — a reminder that silently fails to fire is worse than no reminder at all, so look for reports of missed notifications before relying on a bot for anything time-sensitive, like a flight or a medication schedule.
Most bots here do. Skeddy and Whisper Bell take plain phrases such as "tomorrow at 9", KindlyRemindly also accepts voice notes, and Remind Me Bot wants the /remindme command in front of an English phrase. Skeddy reads English and Russian natively and other languages in a beta mode, so check the time it confirms.
Yes, with several bots here: Skeddy posts reminders created with /add into the group, Whisper Bell also works in forum topics and channels, and KindlyRemindly lets admins decide who can create shared reminders.
The bot sends the message at the scheduled time regardless of your phone's state, but you'll only see it once you turn the device back on and open the app.
