[Devils Workshop] “Send yourself an email reminder with Nudge Mail”

Send yourself an email reminder with Nudge Mail

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 01:46 AM PST

To set reminders in the future I use Google Calendar. With Google Calendar I can make sure that I get reminders sent on Gmail or even through SMS. But this is a little tedious and I needed a quicker and faster way to set-up reminders. For instance I have to call someone at a particular time, opening up your Google Calendar for that is a little tedious.

This is where Nudgemail can be very useful.

Nudgemail Features

Register your email address with NudgeMail from their homepage.
Now send in a reminder to yourself with an email. Just type in a reminder message in the body of the email and send the message to the following address.

nudge@nudgemail.com

In the subject type in when the reminder has to be sent. I typed in 10 minutes and I received a reminder in 10 minutes. I could also send reminders with subject line as “Tomorrow“, “Nov 20” and more.

Another way to use service is to use the different email address to set reminders. This is where I can use “tomorrow@nudgemail.com” and the reminder message can be left as the subject of the email.

There are a few more tips on using NudgeMail at their “how to” page.

I found this service really useful for setting important yet mundane reminders. Most times I use this to remind myself that I need to call someone on their birthdays. Do try out NudgeMail and drop in your comments and views.
