Delivery channels

The same reminder, in a chat, with buttons that mean something.

The short version. Link the Telegram bot from the app and your reminders also arrive as chat messages carrying Done and Wait as inline buttons. Tapping one closes the loop for real. The bot answers /pause, /resume and /status, and it stays silent through your quiet hours at every level of loudness.

Notifications are easy to lose. A chat you check forty times a day is not — and a message that is still sitting there with two unpressed buttons is a much better record of an open loop than a notification you cleared at breakfast.

What arrives

An ordinary message from the bot, in your language, saying which task is up and where it has got to on the ladder — a first, quiet nudge reads differently from the fourth one. Underneath it, two buttons: Done, and Wait with the real number of minutes it will buy you.

Press one and it is the same action as pressing it on the phone. Done closes the loop everywhere; Wait defers it by exactly the number on the button. The message then loses its buttons, so a chat you scroll back through never offers you a stale answer to a task you already dealt with.

Three commands

  • /pause — stop every reminder, on every channel, until you say otherwise.
  • /resume — start them again.
  • /status — what is open right now.

That is the whole surface, and it is short on purpose. The bot is a delivery channel with hands, not a second product with its own half-finished version of everything: creating and editing tasks, the tempo and loudness dials, the list, the bundles and the archive all stay in the app.

The quiet channel, by design

Telegram never breaks a quiet window. Not at the sound rung, not at the alarm rung, not for a task you marked as important — the message waits. On the phone, an alarm-grade reminder is allowed to break through quiet hours, because that is the thing you explicitly asked for when you set a task to Alarm; the chat is the channel that never does.

So the two complement each other rather than doubling the noise. If a task needs to be impossible to sleep through, that is an alarm on the phone. If it needs to be impossible to lose, that is a chat message with two unpressed buttons.

How linking works

You start it from the app, which hands the bot a one-time link; one Telegram chat maps to one account and nothing else. Unlink it and the reminders simply stop arriving there. The bot never sees more than the tasks it is delivering.

What it is not

  • Not a way to use until. without the app. Android is where the tasks live, and where linking starts.
  • Not a group bot. One chat, one person. Handing a task to somebody else is a household thing, not a chat thing.
  • Not an escape from the loop. Ignoring the message is the same as ignoring a notification: the reminder comes back, sooner.

Android first, and in development: there is no store listing yet, which is why this page asks for an email rather than offering a download.

FAQ

Fair questions.

What arrives in Telegram, exactly?

The reminder itself, as an ordinary message from the bot, carrying the same two answers as everywhere else: Done, and Wait with the real number of minutes it buys. Tapping one resolves the loop for good — it is the same action as tapping it on the phone, not a copy of a notification you still have to deal with later.

Can the bot wake me up?

No, and that is on purpose. Telegram is the quiet channel: it never rings through quiet hours, at any level of loudness, and it has no way to take over your screen. If a task needs to be impossible to sleep through, that is what alarm intensity on the phone is for.

Can I run it from the chat?

Partly. The bot answers /pause, /resume and /status, so you can stop every reminder from the chat window and start them again later. Creating and editing tasks stays in the app — the bot is a delivery channel with hands, not a second product with its own half-finished version of everything.

Do I still need the app?

Yes. Telegram is where reminders can also land; the tasks, the tempo and loudness settings, the bundles and the history live in the Android app, and linking the bot starts from there. Nobody uses Until through Telegram alone.
