Good to know

  • Photos can be JPEG, PNG, HEIC or WebP, up to 5 MB. They are kept private.
  • Your words can be up to 280 characters. A counter shows how many you have used.
  • In an email nudge the photo shows inside the message. In a text it comes as a short private link.
  • If your browser cannot preview a HEIC photo, the page still says it is saved, and your nudges will include it.
  • Your why is optional. The alarm works without it.
