Home Features Recurring Reminders
A repeating reminder is the same one line with an “every” in it. Poko builds the whole series from that sentence, keeps it on your clock, and it keeps arriving until you tell him to stop.

Put an “every” in the sentence and the reminder repeats. Text Poko “standup every day at 9:30am” for a daily one, “submit my timesheet every Friday at 5pm” for a weekly one, “pay rent on the 1st of every month” for a monthly one, or “drink water every 2 hours between 8am and 9pm” when it should come round several times a day. He reads the cadence back to you before saving it, sends the first one at the time you named, and works every one after that off your local clock, so 9:30am is still 9:30am after the clocks change. Anything faster than once a day gets an active window: if you don’t give one, Poko asks between which hours first, and the reminder then holds off overnight instead of buzzing at 3am. Send list to see every repeat you have with its cadence in brackets, and cancel 2 to stop one for good. The first 7 days are free with everything included, then a small subscription, from ₹59 a month in India.
Every one of these is a real repeating reminder. Tap it and WhatsApp opens with that exact message in the box, so all that’s left is send.
No repeat picker, no custom-recurrence dialog, no grid of weekday checkboxes to get wrong. You write the sentence you’d say out loud with an “every” in it, and Poko reads the cadence out of it and repeats it back in full. A misread is something you catch in the chat, in the same second, rather than three weeks later.
Each occurrence is worked out on your local wall clock rather than by adding a flat 24 hours, so a 9:30am daily reminder is still 9:30am after the clocks change. Monthly ones roll the month over on their own: say “the 1st” once and you never touch it again.
Anything that comes round more often than once a day is given hours it’s allowed to run, and Poko asks for them if you didn’t say. So “every 2 hours” pauses overnight and picks up in the morning. If a run of them is missed while nothing was being delivered, he skips the backlog rather than firing the lot at once.
Daily, weekly, monthly, hourly, or any interval in minutes or hours, like every 20 minutes or every 3 hours. Weekly and monthly take their slot from the first one: “every Friday at 5pm” lands on Fridays, “on the 1st of every month” on the 1st.
Not as a single reminder yet. The cadences Poko understands are daily, weekly, monthly and intervals of minutes or hours, so weekdays-only means either a daily one you ignore at the weekend or five weekly ones. Ask for “every weekday” and he’ll check what you meant rather than quietly pick one.
Send “list”, then “cancel 2” for the number you want gone. That ends the whole series, not just the next one. Plain words work too, like “stop the drink water reminders”. If one has only just gone off and you say “cancel that”, Poko asks whether you meant skip this one or stop it repeating, rather than guessing at your daily reminder.
Not unless you ask it to. Repeats faster than once a day carry an active window, and Poko asks for the hours before setting one, e.g. “between 8am and 9pm”. Outside those hours the reminder waits for the window to open again.
No. Send the repeating version of the same thing and the pending one-off is dropped for you, so only the series is left.
Pokobot is free to try for 7 days with everything included, repeats and all. After that it’s a small subscription, from ₹59/month in India.
The button opens WhatsApp with a repeating reminder already typed. Swap in whatever you keep forgetting, and send it.
