Recallection
Before you add anyone, let's finish your profile. Your name and photo are what your recipients see — so a check-in arrives as you, not an unknown number, and they're far more likely to reply. A couple of quick things:
A few quick steps to start using Recallection.
Everything that pinged you — help requests, no-response timeouts, location shares, banner pushes.
Each recipient must confirm consent (reply YES) before you can schedule check-ins for them.
📇 Want recipients to know it's you when Recallection texts or calls them?
Record short voice clips (up to 30 seconds each) and reuse them across check-ins. When you schedule a voice check-in, you can pick a recording for Twilio to play, OR let Twilio read the typed message aloud (text-to-speech). Either path works.
Visible only to the operator account. Server-side gated by
ADMIN_EMAIL — devtools can't fake this.
Add your Recallection check-ins to your phone or computer calendar — every scheduled check-in shows up automatically (refresh timing depends on your calendar app).
Or copy the subscription URL:

Recallection sends scheduled are-you-ok check-ins by SMS, email, or voice. Recipients reply 1 (done) or 2 (help) — or just text back in their own words, which gets passed along to you. If they don't respond, you can choose to be alerted — by email, text, phone call, or app banner (off by default, set per check-in).
Recipients tab → + Add recipient. Enter name, phone, optional email + timezone. They get a consent SMS — they reply YES or tap the link. Check-ins can't go out until they confirm.
+ New check-in → pick recipient, write message, choose channel (SMS / Email / Voice), pick date + time. Optional: recurrence + voice recording.
Turn on Notify me if they don't reply and pick how you want to be reached — email, text, phone call, or app banner — for a follow-up if they no-show within the ack window. It's off by default; leave it off for a silent reminder.
Month grid with colored dots (blue = scheduled, green = acknowledged, red = help / no-response, gray = canceled / failed). Tap a day for details.
When scheduling a Voice check-in, the Manage recordings link lets you record up to 30 sec of yourself. Picked recordings play your actual voice on voice check-ins instead of synthesized speech.
Edit a recipient → + Add backup caregiver to add a sibling / spouse / neighbor who gets paged if you don't respond. Each has its own delay. Anyone in the chain can stop it by tapping the alert link or replying ACK.
Profile → Notifications → Email me a summary = daily / weekly / monthly (daily by default). Help alerts always fire in real time; no-response alerts fire only when you enable them on a check-in.
Each check-in's response page has a Share my location button. One tap from the recipient sends you a Google Maps pin via SMS + email. Their phone asks permission first; their location is never tracked otherwise.
Profile → Notifications → Banner alerts on this phone. Three modes: Off (default), Immediate (banner with SMS+email), or Escalation (banner only if you don't act on the SMS within N minutes). Banners stay on screen until you tap them and have action buttons for [📞 Call] and [✓ Got it].
iPhone: notifications only work after you install the app from /install (Add to Home Screen). Plain Safari can't show them.
Any free-text reply from a confirmed recipient — "running late", "call you at 5" — is passed along to you by text, email, and a banner alert on your phone, and saved so you have a record. The recipient sees a short "passed along to your caregiver" confirmation. Note this is a heads-up, not an emergency page: if they actually need help they should reply 2 (or your custom "I need help" label), which alerts you immediately and starts the backup chain. If you've turned on no-response alerts for that check-in, a free-text message you miss still escalates through the no-response backstop too.
Beyond the per-check-in alert, Recallection watches for a longer silence: if a confirmed recipient who's still being sent check-ins doesn't acknowledge any of them for about a week, you get a one-time "they've gone quiet" email and banner so it doesn't slip by. It re-arms automatically the next time they reply. This is informational (no SMS, no backup-chain page) — a nudge to reach out directly.
Yes. Open Recipients and tap + Add me — you'll be added to your own recipient list with consent pre-confirmed, using your verified phone. Then schedule check-ins to yourself like any other recipient (ongoing reminders like medication, or one-off previews to see what your recipients will receive). Self check-ins default to no-escalation since you're the one we'd notify; re-enable it per check-in if you want your backup contacts paged when you don't respond.
Open Check-ins → 📅 Calendar and tap Sync these check-ins to your phone's calendar. (Or Profile → Tools → 🗓 Calendar → Sync your check-ins to your calendar app.) Copy the URL into your calendar app or use the iPhone / Google / Outlook quick-link buttons. Every check-in you schedule then appears on your calendar automatically; refresh cadence depends on your calendar app (Apple roughly every 15 min, Google can be hours).
Recipients tab → Resend invite. The vCard URL is in the invite SMS and tracked, so once they tap it the save-my-contact nudge in future check-ins stops automatically.
Unknown numbers / addresses get flagged. Once the recipient saves the vCard, future SMS, calls, and emails resolve to your name + photo on their phone. The consent page has a QR code if the link is hard to tap.
Profile → Account → Download my contact card (under the "How recipients see you" group, beneath your photo + name). Saving it makes alert SMS / calls / emails show up named on your own phone.
iOS doesn't allow banner notifications from regular Safari. Install Recallection from /install (Add to Home Screen) and open it from the home-screen icon. From there, profile → Banner alerts on this phone → Enable on this device. Test with the Send test banner button.
SMS + email fires immediately as usual. The banner only pops if you haven't responded within N minutes (you set the delay, 1–60). Useful when SMS gets buried — the persistent banner makes sure you see it.
Open the check-in's Details from History and scroll to the event log. You'll see exactly what fired (sms_sent, email_sent, caregiver_alerted, etc.). If logged but not received, it's almost always a spam filter — saving the vCard fixes it.
Yes — open any instance, edit it, check "Apply to entire series" before saving. Time-of-day changes need cancel-and-recreate.
Send feedback button at the top of this drawer. Optional screenshot upload included.
The first two mockups show what recipients see when Recallection's check-in texts and calls arrive (after they've saved your contact card). The last shows what you see when a banner alert fires on your own phone.

Without saving your contact card, recipients see only your Recallection number with no name or photo. Banner alerts on your own phone require enabling them under Profile → Notifications → Banner alerts on this phone.
Care reminders for the people you love.
Scheduled check-ins for kids, aging parents, anyone who needs a gentle nudge.
Text, voice call, or email — one-off or recurring. They reply 1 for "I'm okay" or 2 for help — or just text back in their own words, and it's passed along to you.
Each check-in has a Share my location button. One tap from them sends you a Google Maps pin.
Optional persistent banners (iPhone / Android) when a recipient needs help, no-shows, or shares location. Set up under Profile → Notifications.
Add a sibling, spouse, or neighbor. If you can't respond, Recallection pages your backup chain in order.
Recallection helps you stay in touch — it's not a medical or emergency service, and message delivery isn't guaranteed. It relies on third-party providers (like Render and Twilio) being up, so check-ins or alerts can be delayed or missed. For emergencies, always call 911.
Turn on banner alerts and you're notified the second a recipient replies, asks for help, or shares their location — even when Recallection is closed.
Optional shortcuts — pick the one that fits. Tap a row to open it.
Already have the event in iPhone, Google, or Outlook Calendar? Turn it into a check-in without retyping — pick your device. Full step-by-step guides (with screenshots) live on the website guide ↗.
Build a Shortcut once, then tap to import any event — title, date, and time auto-fill. Paste this into the Shortcut’s “URL” action, replacing the two bracketed bits with Magic Variables:
Install Recallection first, then Share any calendar event into it from your calendar app (you set the date by hand — or use the automation row below for hands-free).

The reverse of the above — put all your scheduled check-ins onto your iPhone, Apple, Google, or Outlook calendar so they appear next to your other events. Subscribe once; new check-ins show up automatically.
What this does: point Zapier, Make, IFTTT, Tasker, or anything that can open a web link at the address below, and it’ll create check-ins for you automatically — e.g. “whenever a new event hits my work calendar, schedule a check-in.” Skip this row if those tools aren’t part of your routine.
