Do you like to be nagged? Sometimes even a to-do list isn’t quite enough; if you’re on the go, a friendly phone call telling you to what needs to be done might be just what the doctor ordered. For times like that, let rminder call your phone with voice messages about to-dos and appointments

The basic rminder service is free. To use it, enter a short message in the rminder Web page and set a time to be reminded; at the appointed time, your phone will ring and what sounds like the Commodore Amiga’s computerized text-to-speech voice will deliver the message.

In addition to one-off reminders, you can also import your calendar (Google, Yahoo, and Outlook, among others) into rminder to get voice messages for each appointment and to do. If you use rminder a lot, you’ll need to upgrade, since you only get 8 reminders per month gratis. You can step up to 15 messages for $3/month or 60 reminder for $9/month. Yeah, it’s kind of a one-trick pony, but I kind of like the gait of this particular horsey.

Got a tech dilemma? We're here to help.
