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.

The key difference from a one-off reminder is that you set it once and it keeps firing on its own. That's a small change in how you create it, but a big change in how you use it — instead of building a reminder each morning, you build a routine once and then just let it run. The rest of this guide walks through the exact commands, the one-time cost, and the few things worth knowing before you turn a repeat on.

Steps

  1. 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.
  2. Create the reminder as usual with /remind. Example: /remind tomorrow 9am stretch. This creates a normal one-off reminder to start from.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

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. If you only need a reminder to fire once, the free tier is fine; it's only when you need the same thing to fire daily that Pro becomes relevant.
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. The one-time option is the better value if you plan to keep the repeat running long-term, while the monthly option avoids paying up front.
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. That means a morning wake-up repeat and an evening bedtime repeat can both run daily side by side without either one counting against a limited slot.
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. Because a daily repeat fires at the same local time every day, getting the offset right up front matters more than it does for a one-off — a wrong offset means the reminder fires at the wrong hour every single day.
