Never Forget to Check In: Recurring Reminders in YourPond
Nobody forgets their friends on purpose.
What actually happens is quieter: you think "I should call Sam" on a Tuesday, Tuesday gets loud, and the thought doesn't come back for six weeks. The intention was real. The system was missing.
Reminders in YourPond are that system, and with our latest update, they got a lot stronger.
Reminders that are about people, not tasks
A to-do app treats "call Sam" the same as "buy dish soap." YourPond doesn't. Reminders here are tied to the people they're about. So when the nudge arrives, Sam's whole context arrives with it: what you talked about last, what's coming up in their life, what you've been meaning to ask.
That difference matters. A reminder with context turns "I should reach out" into an actual conversation starter.
Set it once with recurring reminders
The biggest addition: reminders can now repeat. "Check in with Dad every month" is one reminder, set once, not twelve reminders you'll stop creating by March.
Recurring reminders fit the relationships where rhythm matters more than occasion: the long-distance friend, the mentor you promised to update, the grandparent who lights up at every call. Pick the cadence that fits (daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly) and YourPond keeps the rhythm for you.
Delivered where you'll actually see them
Reminders push straight to your iPhone as notifications. Not an email you'll archive, not a badge inside an app you'd have to remember to open: a nudge on your lock screen at the moment you chose.
They connect to everything else
Reminders are woven through the rest of YourPond. Log a gift you received and check one box to get a thank-you note reminder. Coming out of a great catch-up? Set the next one before the glow fades.
Keeping in touch was never about memory. It was always about having a system that catches the thought before life buries it.
