How To Use SaneReminders

SaneReminders is an easy way to schedule alerts and reminders for yourself seamlessly from any email client.

To get started:

• Simply compose an email
• In the subject line, write a note, task or reminder
• In the “to” field, write the time you want the reminder to show up in your inbox. Almost any combination works, no matter how detailed.
• For example “tuesday@sanebox.com” works, and “tues.2pm@sanebox.com” does too. Try tomorrow@sanebox.com” or “2days@sanebox.com.” Remember, pretty much any logical combination works!
• Hit send!

You can always manage your scheduled SaneReminders from the SaneBox Dashboard as well.

Here are 3 use cases to use them:

Remember to Follow Up
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.

Remind Yourself
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.

Popular Reminder Addresses:

• tomorrow@sanebox.com
• 1day@sanebox.com
• 2days@sanebox.com
• 1week@sanebox.com
• wednesday@sanebox.com
• Friday@sanebox.com
