How to Set a Daily Recurring Reminder on Telegram
A one-off reminder is easy on Telegram, but something you need every single day — take a pill, stand up and stretch, log your hours — shouldn't need retyping every morning. NudgeRemindBot's Pro tier adds daily repeating reminders on top of its normal one-off /remind command, so you set it once and it keeps firing.
The free tier doesn't repeat reminders automatically — this guide covers what daily repeats actually do and how to turn them on.
This matters most for habits and routines rather than one-off events: a wake-up nudge, a daily standup ping, a medication reminder — anything where the value comes from it firing every day without you having to remember to reset it.
Steps
- Set your timezone first with /tz. Example: /tz +2. A daily repeat only makes sense at a consistent local time, so get your offset right before anything else.
- Create the reminder as usual with /remind. Example: /remind tomorrow 9am stretch. This creates a normal one-off reminder to start from.
- Upgrade to Pro with /pro. This opens a menu with two options: a one-time 150 Stars payment or a 100 Stars/month subscription. Either unlocks unlimited active reminders and daily repeating reminders for your account.
- Use /list to confirm what's active, /del to remove one. /list shows all your active reminders with their ids so you can check a repeat is set the way you expect; /del 4 removes reminder id 4 if you need to stop it.
- Re-run /remind for a second repeating habit if you need one. There's no limit on how many repeats you can set once you're Pro, so a wake-up reminder and a bedtime reminder can both run daily side by side.
Good to know
- Daily repeats are a Pro-only feature — free reminders fire once and are done.
- Pro also removes the 5-active-reminder cap, so a repeating reminder doesn't eat into a limited slot the way it would on free.
- Pro costs a one-time 150 Stars (≈ $3) payment per user, or a 100 Stars/month subscription if you'd rather not pay up front — /pro lets you pick either one.
- The 1-minute background check applies to repeating reminders the same way it does to one-off ones, so they fire close to the exact time each day.
- Because the upgrade is per user, each person in a shared group needs their own Pro upgrade to get their own daily repeats — it doesn't unlock the feature for the whole group at once.
- A repeating reminder still shows up in /list like any other, so you can confirm it's active or delete it with /del the same way you would a one-off.
FAQ
- Can I make a reminder repeat every day for free?
- No — daily repeats are a Pro feature. The free tier supports one-off reminders only, up to 5 active at a time.
- Does Pro cost money every month to keep a repeating reminder running?
- Only if you choose to — /pro offers a one-time 150 Stars (≈ $3) payment that unlocks daily repeats permanently, or a 100 Stars/month subscription if you'd rather spread the cost.
- Can I set more than one daily repeating reminder?
- Yes — once you're Pro, the 5-reminder cap is removed entirely, so you can run as many one-off and repeating reminders as you need.
- Does a repeating reminder still respect my timezone?
- Yes — it uses the offset you set with /tz, the same as any other reminder, so set that first if you haven't already.
