The Problem

Sound Familiar?

🔕

Notifications you swipe away instantly

Your phone buzzes 200 times a day. Reminders blend in with texts, emails, and app alerts. By the time you look, the moment has passed.

🧠

"I'll remember" — and then you don't

You told yourself you'd take the medication at 2pm. You set a reminder. You swiped it away mid-conversation. Now it's 7pm.

😤

Reminder apps that don't understand ADHD

Most reminder apps assume you'll read and act on a notification. If that worked for you, you wouldn't be looking for something different.

How It Works

Set Up in Under 2 Minutes

Sign up with email, set your phone number, and start creating phone call reminders in under two minutes.

1

Verify your phone

Create an account with your email. Verify it, set your phone number, and you're ready. Supports Face ID for instant sign-in.
2

Create a reminder

Tap +, type what you need to remember, pick a date and time. Set it to repeat every day, every 8 hours, or whatever works.
3

Your phone rings

When it's time, your phone rings with a spoken message: "Take medication" or "Call the dentist." Miss the call? It retries automatically.

Features

Everything an ADHD Brain Needs

Simple by design. No overwhelming settings, no 47 tabs, no learning curve.

📞

Real Phone Calls

Not a push notification. Not a text. An actual phone call that rings until you answer or it goes to voicemail.
🔁

Recurring Reminders

Set daily medication reminders, weekly check-ins, or reminders every few hours. Once it's set, it runs on autopilot.
🔄

Auto-Retry on Missed Calls

Didn't pick up? Ape Alert tries again. You set the number of retries per reminder. It won't give up until you do.
⚡

Quick Add

One tap to create a reminder. Type what you need to remember, pick a time, done. No forms, no categories, no friction.
🗣️

Spoken Reminders

When you pick up the call, a voice reads your reminder aloud. "Take your medication." "Pick up dry cleaning." Clear and direct.
🔐

Easy Sign-Up

Sign up with email and password. Verify your email, set your phone number, and enable Face ID for instant access. Simple and secure.

Unlike standard reminder apps, it uses real phone calls instead of push notifications — making it ideal for people with ADHD and time blindness.

How does Ape Alert work?
You verify your phone number, create a reminder with a date and time, and when it's due, Ape Alert places a real phone call to you with a spoken message about your task. Each call costs one token. If you miss the call, it can automatically retry.
How much does Ape Alert cost?
Ape Alert will be free to install. You'll get 3 free tokens to start. Each call or text reminder costs 1 token (1 per recipient for texts). Additional tokens can be purchased in packs of 25 for $9.99 via in-app purchase. There are no monthly fees or subscriptions. Join the waitlist to be notified at launch.
Why phone calls instead of notifications?
Push notifications are easy to dismiss, swipe away, or miss entirely — especially for people with ADHD and time blindness. A phone call is physically interruptive. Your phone rings. You have to respond to it. That's the point. Ape Alert is a phone call reminder app because calls actually get your attention when it matters.
Can I set recurring reminders?
Yes. Ape Alert supports recurring reminders — daily, every few hours, weekly, or custom intervals. Each occurrence costs one token when the call is placed.
What happens if I miss a call?
If you don't answer, Ape Alert can automatically retry the call. You control the number of retries per reminder. Each retry attempt uses one token.
Does it work with Do Not Disturb?
Phone calls can ring through Do Not Disturb mode depending on your iPhone settings. You can configure iOS to allow calls from specific numbers or repeated calls to break through DND — making Ape Alert effective even when your phone is silenced.
Is Ape Alert available on Android?
Ape Alert is currently available for iPhone only (iOS 17+). An Android version is under consideration based on demand.
Is my phone number safe?
Your phone number is only used to verify your account and place reminder calls. It is not shared with third parties, sold, or used for marketing. Calls are placed through Telnyx, a trusted telecommunications provider.
