Why contact follow-ups disappear
Professional relationships often matter over months or years, not just during the week you first meet.
Names can sit in a spreadsheet or inbox while the reason to reconnect fades from memory.
A simple reminder keeps the next contact date visible without asking you to store private relationship details.
When you may want to be reminded
You may want a reminder after a meeting, class, conference, intro call, or coffee chat.
For ongoing relationships, set reminders at intervals that feel useful and respectful.
Choose the schedule that matches the relationship, the context, and your follow-up habit.

Email, SMS, and backup contact options
Free supports email reminders. Paid options can include SMS and backup contact follow-up where available, including notify backup contact if I do not respond. Delivery can depend on email providers, mobile carriers, and contact details, so Reminders does not promise delivery in every case.
Email reminders
Included on Free for active reminders within plan limits.
SMS options
Available on paid options where supported and configured.
Backup contact follow-up
A paid option for important deadlines that need an extra check-in.
Important note
Reminders helps you track dates and follow-up plans. It is not business, career, professional, financial, legal, or relationship advice.
Reminders does not manage your network for you and does not promise replies, referrals, introductions, or professional outcomes.
