The bot will send you a notification when the time is up. Perfect for remembering tasks, events, or anything you need to be reminded about. Reminders are personal - only you will receive notifications for your reminders. *** ## Commands Set a new reminder for yourself. ```bash Syntax theme={null} ~remind **Parameters:** * **time** — When to remind you (10s minimum, 1y maximum) * **message** — What to remind you about (max 200 characters) **Time Format:** * `s` = seconds (e.g., `30s`) * `m` = minutes (e.g., `15m`) * `h` = hours (e.g., `2h`) * `d` = days (e.g., `5d`) * `M` = months (e.g., `2M` = 60 days) * `y` = years (e.g., `1y` = 365 days) **Limits:** * Minimum: 10 seconds * Maximum: 1 year * Message: 200 characters max **Aliases:** `reminder`, `remindme`\ **Permissions:** None View all your active reminders. ```bash Syntax theme={null} ~remind list ``` ```bash Example theme={null} ~remind list ~reminder list ``` **What It Shows:** * All your active reminders * Reminder message * When each reminder will trigger * Numbered list format **Aliases:** `reminder list`, `remindme list`\ **Permissions:** None Clear all your active reminders. ```bash Syntax theme={null} ~remind clear ``` ```bash Example theme={null} ~remind clear ~reminder clear ``` **What It Does:** * Removes ALL your reminders * Cannot be undone * Does not affect other users' reminders This clears all your reminders permanently. **Aliases:** `reminder clear`, `remindme clear`\ **Permissions:** None *** ## How It Works Create a reminder with time and message: ```bash theme={null} ~remind 2h Meeting with Sarah ``` The bot confirms your reminder: ``` ⏰ Reminder set for in 2 hours ``` When time is up, the bot sends you a DM or message: ``` 🔔 Reminder: Meeting with Sarah ``` *** ## Time Format Guide ```bash theme={null} ~remind 30s Quick task ~remind 45s Check status ``` **Format:** `s`\ **Range:** 10s - 59s\ **Use for:** Very short reminders ```bash theme={null} ~remind 5m Break time ~remind 15m Check oven ~remind 30m Call back ~remind 90m Long meeting ``` **Format:** `m`\ **Range:** 1m - unlimited\ **Use for:** Short to medium tasks ```bash theme={null} ~remind 1h Lunch break ~remind 2h Team meeting ~remind 4h End of workday ~remind 12h Tomorrow morning ``` **Format:** `h`\ **Range:** 1h - unlimited\ **Use for:** Same-day reminders ```bash theme={null} ~remind 1d Tomorrow's task ~remind 3d Appointment ~remind 7d Weekly check-in ~remind 14d Bi-weekly meeting ``` **Format:** `d`\ **Range:** 1d - unlimited\ **Use for:** Multi-day reminders ```bash theme={null} ~remind 1M Monthly review ~remind 3M Quarterly report ~remind 6M Half-year review ~remind 1y Annual renewal ``` **Format:** `M` or `y`\ **Note:** 1M = 30 days, 1y = 365 days\ **Use for:** Long-term reminders *** ## Permission Requirements Anyone can use reminders - no special permissions required.

Check if bot can send DMs (enable DMs from server members) 2. Verify you haven't blocked the bot 3. Check if the reminder was set correctly with `~remind list` 4. Ensure the channel where you set the reminder still exists ### "Invalid time format" **Issue:** Bot doesn't recognize your time format. **Solutions:** 1. Use format: `` (e.g., `30m`, not `30 minutes`) 2. Valid units: `s`, `m`, `h`, `d`, `M`, `y` 3. No spaces between number and unit 4. Use whole numbers only ### "Reminder must be at least 10 seconds" **Issue:** Time is too short. **Solution:** Set reminders for at least 10 seconds (use `10s` or longer) ### "Reminder cannot be more than 1 year" **Issue:** Time is too long. **Solution:** Maximum reminder time is 1 year (365 days) *** ## Important Notes **Limitations** * Reminders are stored locally and may be lost if bot restarts * No recurring/repeating reminders (set manually each time) * Maximum 1 year in advance * Minimum 10 seconds * 200 character limit on reminder text **Delivery** * Reminders are sent via DM if possible * Falls back to the channel where you set the reminder * You must have DMs enabled from server members * Bot must have permission to message you *** ## Related Features Track activity and stats Set up timed events and giveaways Automated message responses Automated welcome system
