*What is RemindMeBot?**

RemindMeBot is a reddit bot that lets you set a reminder for a certain amount of time, via a comment or private message, and then sends you a reminder message at your targeted time. Use it if you want to check back on a thread for updates, or remember to do something a week from now.

*RemindMeBot commands**

Comment commands (can also be sent to the bot as messages):

**RemindMe! 3 Days "check for updates"** Create a reminder for the specified amount of time. The quoted text is optional.
**RemindMeRepeat! 1 Day "do the thing"** Create a reminder for the specified amount of time that repeats automatically. More details here[1].
**Cakeday!** Get a reminder each year on your cakeday. This command only works if it's the first thing in your comment. More details here[2].

Message commands, these only work as messages to the bot[3]:

*Message links**

RemindMeBot makes use of prefilled message links, like this one[6]. From my research, these links work correctly in the browser on the classic site, the redesign, the mobile web site, and every single reddit app, except the official iOS reddit app. If you are on iOS, you can open the link in your mobile browser, switch to a different reddit app, or wait till you're on a computer browser.

*Chat support**

The reddit API currently does not support the chat. There are ways around this so bots can use the chat even though the API doesn't support it, but they are a bit harder to use. I'll hopefully be able to add support soon. The bot currently has 13600 unread chat notifications, so it sounds like it will be a popular feature.
