Meet Friday:
Your Personalized Voice Reminder Assistant

Get spoken, context-aware reminders that actually help you stay on track.

Tired of ineffective reminders?

Do you often miss appointments because simple notifications get lost in the shuffle? Are you frustrated by reminders that lack crucial details, leaving you wondering:

  • Where to go?
  • When should you leave?
  • Who you’re meeting?
  • What to do when you get there?

Friday, a voice reminder app, was created to address these challenges, providing detailed, vocal reminders that adapt to your individual needs.

Imagine a better reminder

Imagine, instead of a ‘ding’ and a message that pops up on your screen, your phone talks to you and says:

“You have a 3:00 PM appointment with Dr. Francesca Jones at the downtown clinic. It’ll take 30 minutes to get there because of traffic delays. Leave now, bring your insurance card, and pack a jacket—it’s windy today.”

Key Features of Friday

Proactive and Contextual Voice Alerts

Unlike Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant, Friday isn’t just reactive—it’s proactive. This voice assistant tells you not only the what but why and how to respond, so you never miss an appointment or forget a detail.

Customizable Voice Reminders

Friday puts you in control. Personalize the voice, timing, and even the level of detail in your reminders. Make her (or him, if you’d prefer) sound and act the way that works best for you. You can adjust the voice character, its speed, pitch, its accent, and more!

Accessibility Focus

Friday is designed with inclusivity in mind. We’re committed to providing features that cater to a wide range of needs, ensuring everyone can benefit from effective voice reminders.
