See how calls work

Phone call reminder

A phone call reminder is a reminder that reaches the user through a call instead of only a push notification, alarm, SMS, or calendar alert.

Reminder escalation

Reminder escalation means moving from a lighter reminder to a stronger reminder channel when the task is important or easy to miss.

Google Calendar call reminder

A Google Calendar call reminder is a phone call scheduled before a selected calendar event so the user gets a stronger prompt than a standard calendar notification.

WhatsApp reminder

A WhatsApp reminder is a reminder created from WhatsApp-style text or voice input, often using natural language like “call me tomorrow at 7 AM.”

Trust and control

Reminder calls should stay personal and intentional.

User-created reminders only

RingDue calls for reminders users create or explicitly approve.

Opt-in reminder calls

Phone calls are tied to verified, opt-in personal reminder workflows.

Disable calls anytime

Users can cancel reminders, pause calls, and request account deletion.

Use calls carefully

Call reminders work best for important tasks, not every small notification.

Not for marketing calls
