I would like to share my development, which, I think, will be useful for
Telegram users.
Many of us somehow use or at least tried to use reminders. There are a lot of them now: paid and free, mobile and desktop, complex and simple - as they say, for every taste.
For me, the main requirement for such reminders is the ease of setting a reminder, in other words, the ability to enter a reminder in your own words. For example, “call colleague in 20 minutes” or “tomorrow at 15 in the tax office”. It is also important that the reminder is able to postpone reminders.

I somehow looked for a similar reminder under Linux and, not having found,
wrote myself . And for Windows, I advised everyone to use a similar
XMinder program.
The time has passed, the possibilities for the development and implementation of such reminders has become more.
And one of these features is Telegram bots.
I thought it would be great to find such a bot that would accept requests for reminders, written in their own words, and send the appropriate messages at the set time. But I did not find such a bot that would understand simple Russian, and wrote my own.
The bot is called
@remindmemegabot . Implemented in the Golang language using the
tgbotapi and
at libraries and deployed on a server running Linux.
RemindMiMegaBot can work with time zones and understands commands written in simple words, for example:
- after 15 minutes call the supervisor
- an hour later to prepare a report
- check payment two days later
- tomorrow at 10 pay for services
- on Wednesday at 11:15 in the tax
- prepare for the event on Saturday evening
- finish work at 8 pm
- May 23 at 15-10 at the post office
- 04/17/2018 at 9 to congratulate a colleague on his birthday
- every day at 18 home
- every Wednesday at 17-30 for training
- every May 30 anniversary gift
Reminders can be set aside for 15 minutes, an hour, 2 hours, or any other time.
It is especially convenient to use the bot on the
Telegram desktop application.You can connect to the bot via the link
