How To Use SaneReminders

SaneReminders helps you manage your follow-ups and tasks directly within your email client (or on the SaneBox website).


Follow-up Reminders:

Need a reminder if someone doesn’t reply to your email? BCC an address like 1.week@sanebox.com to your email. If there’s no reply within a week, the email will resurface in your inbox for your attention.


Defer Emails:

Don’t want an email cluttering your inbox right now, but need to deal with it later? Forward it to an address like later.today@sanebox.com. It will reappear in your inbox at your chosen time.


Self-Reminders:

Need to remember something in the future? Send an email to an address like tuesday@sanebox.com. It will be delivered as a new message in your inbox on the chosen day.


Creating Reminders:

Include a SaneReminder address in the recipient field of your email. This tells SaneBox when to remind you or wait for a response.


  • tomorrow@sanebox.com
  • next.week@sanebox.com (Monday start)
  • wednesday@sanebox.com
  • friday.12pm@sanebox.com
  • august.10@sanebox.com

Customization:
  • Keep reminders despite replies: Add “.keep” to the address (e.g., 1.week.keep@sanebox.com).
  • Repeating reminders: Use “every.” or “each.” in the address for ongoing reminders (e.g., every.monday@sanebox.com).


Examples:
  • every.day@sanebox.com (daily)
  • every.other.week@sanebox.com (every 2 weeks)
  • every.first.tuesday@sanebox.com (first Tuesday of each month)


Additional Options:
  • monthly@sanebox.com (starts 1 month from now)
  • yearly@sanebox.com (starts 1 year from now)


SaneReminders makes it easy to manage your follow-ups and tasks without ever leaving your email!
