Octo Reminder - your friendly assistant​

Are you tired of keeping track of planned changes or issues you scheduled for the future? Our Octo Reminder is here to safe you from unneeded cognitive load!

The app configuration is stored in our .github repository. Using the bot is fairly simple:

  • To schedule a reminder, simply comment with /remind-me [date] [message] on an issue or pull request. The bot will answer and mention you in the particular issue/pull request upon reaching the configured date.
  • If you don't specify a time for the reminder, the bot will use 9:00 CET as default reminder time.
  • The date and time can be anything that momentjs understands, e.g. an ISO 8601 string or a relative string such as tomorrow or next week.
