Recurring Phone Call Reminders
Schedule a recurring phone call reminder — daily, weekly, weekday-only, or any custom day pattern. Zangy queues each occurrence and rings your phone at the exact time. Set it once, hear from it every day.
Daily, Weekly, or Custom
Pick every day, weekdays, weekends, or any combination of days. Zangy queues each occurrence automatically.
Per-Reminder Schedules
Each reminder has its own pattern. Morning pills daily, work reminder weekdays, gym Mon/Wed/Fri — all on one account.
Exact Time Dispatch
BullMQ queue with millisecond precision. Calls land within seconds of the scheduled minute, every time.
Timezone-Aware
Each reminder stores its own timezone. Travel won't break your 8am pill reminder — it stays 8am in the set zone.
Common Recurring Reminder Patterns
Daily Medication
"Take 10mg Lisinopril" — every day, 8am. Zangy calls, the AI (or your recording) reads the dose, you confirm.
Weekday Wake-Up Calls
Mon–Fri at 6:30am. A real phone call is harder to sleep through than a phone alarm.
Weekly Habits
Sunday at 7pm — "Review your week." Tuesday at noon — "Send your status update." One-off setup, automatic execution.
Gym Days (Mon/Wed/Fri)
Custom day pattern. Zangy calls on the days you train, stays quiet on rest days.
Hydration Throughout Day
Three reminders: 10am, 1pm, 4pm — each set to daily. Stay hydrated without thinking about it.
Children's Routines
School-day reminders at 7am (get ready), 3pm (homework), 8pm (read before bed) — pause on weekends and school holidays.
Why Recurring Phone Reminders Build Habits
Habits form through repetition plus a strong cue. Push notifications fade into background noise — your brain learns to filter them out. A ringing phone doesn't fade. Every call is a fresh, demanding signal that pulls you out of whatever you're doing and back to the task.
Set the recurring schedule once. Zangy handles the rest. Over weeks, the pattern becomes automatic. The reminders themselves become unnecessary — until then, they keep you on track.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do recurring reminders work in Zangy?
When creating a reminder, choose a repeat pattern: every day, weekdays only, weekends only, or pick specific days of the week. Zangy schedules a phone call for each occurrence and dispatches it at the exact time in your local timezone.
Can I set reminders that repeat multiple times a day?
Yes. Create separate reminders for each time. For example, a 'Take morning pill' reminder at 8am and a 'Take evening pill' reminder at 8pm, each with their own repeat pattern. Each call is logged separately.
What happens to a recurring reminder if I miss a call?
Missed calls don't pause the schedule. The next occurrence is dispatched as planned. Each missed call is logged in your dashboard so you can review compliance over time — useful for medication adherence tracking.
Does it support timezones?
Yes. Each reminder has its own timezone. If you travel, your daily 8am reminder still fires at 8am in the timezone you set. Useful for shift workers, international travelers, and caregivers managing reminders across regions.
Can I edit or pause a recurring reminder?
Yes. Edit any field (time, days, message, voice) and the next occurrence uses the updated values. To pause, toggle off the reminder — calls stop immediately. Toggle back on to resume.
