Will everyone in the group see the reminder when it fires?

Yes, if you created it while chatting in the group — NudgeRemindBot delivers each reminder back to the chat it was set in, so a reminder created in the group posts there.

What time formats can I use?

Relative ("in 2h", "in 1h30m"), "at 19:00" today or tomorrow, "tomorrow 19:00", a weekday like "fri 19:00", or a full date like "2026-09-10 19:00", all read using your saved /tz offset.

How many group reminders can I have at once for free?

5 active reminders at a time, shared across however many chats you've set them in. /pro removes that cap for a one-time 150 Stars payment or a 100 Stars/month subscription.

Can a reminder repeat every day automatically?

That's a Pro feature — the free tier is one-off reminders only. Upgrading with the one-time 150 Stars payment, or the 100 Stars/month subscription, adds daily repeating reminders.

Does a group reminder still fire if the bot is removed from the group?

Delivery happens back into the chat the reminder was created in, so if the bot is no longer in that group it has nowhere to post — the reminder can't reach the group. Re-adding the bot restores delivery; until then, check /list to see what you still have set.

Which timezone does a group reminder use when members are in different places?

/tz stores the offset of the person who set the reminder, and the time you type is read in that offset. One member in a different timezone creating their own reminder can set their own /tz, so each reminder fires at the hour its creator meant.

Can one member delete a reminder someone else set?

/del removes a reminder by its id from /list, and the list is per user — so the person who created it is the one deleting their own entry. Deleting one reminder never touches the others still running in that chat.

Can a member opt out of seeing the group reminders?

Not individually — a reminder created in a group is a normal message in that chat, so anyone in the group sees it fire unless they mute the group or the reminder's sender. If only certain people need the nudge, set it in your DM with the bot instead of the group.

Do I need to keep the bot added after I set the reminder?

Yes — the bot has to stay in the group to post the message when it's due. If it's removed, nothing is delivered to that group until it's added back; your reminder still appears in /list either way.

Can I edit a group reminder instead of deleting and recreating it?

Delete it with /del and set it again with /remind — recreating is a single command, so it's usually faster than waiting for a planned edit feature. Use /list first to note the id you're removing.

How to Set Reminders in a Telegram Group

A reminder that only you can see is fine for personal to-dos, but a lot of reminders — a standup, a bill split, a deadline — belong in the group where everyone can see them fire. NudgeRemindBot delivers reminders back to whatever chat you set them in, group or DM, checked by a background job every minute.

You don't need to add anything special for group use — the same /remind command works there, and the reminder posts to that group when it's due.

Because the delivery chat is decided by where you typed the command, a group can have several running reminders side by side with people's personal DM reminders, without them mixing up — each stays in its own chat.

There's also a zero-setup way to try it. In any chat, type the mention phrase followed by a time and a message — for example @NudgeRemindBot tomorrow 9am call the dentist — and it replies with the exact reminder it would create. Nothing is scheduled until you tap to confirm, so you can check that the time parsed the way you meant before it becomes a real entry in the chat.

A worked example: a small team wants a nudge in their group every Monday at 9:30 to kick off the weekly standup. Someone opens the group, runs /tz +2 once so times are read in the team's local offset, then sends /remind mon 9:30 weekly standup. That reminder now lives in that group and fires there every Monday morning — and when it does, the delivered message carries a Snooze button with a few preset delays, so if the standup slips fifteen minutes while everyone is still joining, anyone can tap Snooze instead of deleting the reminder and setting a new one by hand.

The same group can hold several reminders side by side. Say the standup is reminder number 1, a Friday invoice reminder is number 2, and a sprint retro reminder is number 3 — /list shows all three with their ids, and /del 2 removes only the invoice one, leaving the other two running untouched.

Steps

Add NudgeRemindBot to your group (or use it in a DM). Reminders are delivered back to whichever chat you created them in — run the command in the group if you want the whole group to see it fire.
Set your timezone once with /tz. Example: /tz +2 sets your UTC offset, so times you type are read correctly. Without it, times default to UTC.
Create the reminder with /remind. Example: /remind tomorrow 9am call the dentist. It also accepts relative times ("in 2h"), "at 19:00", weekday names ("fri 19:00"), or a full date.
Check what's upcoming with /list, or delete one with /del. /list shows your upcoming reminders with their ids; /del 4 removes the one numbered 4.

Good to know

Free tier: 5 active reminders at a time. Pro removes the cap and adds daily repeating reminders, either as a one-time 150 Stars (≈ $3) payment per user or a 100 Stars/month subscription — /pro shows both options.
A reminder is always delivered back to the chat it was created in — set it in the group if you want the group to see it, or in your DM with the bot to keep it private.
The background check runs every minute, so reminders fire close to their exact time rather than on a slower daily sweep.
If you skip /tz, times are read as UTC, which will be off from your local clock until you set an offset.
Anyone in the group can create their own reminders that post there — it isn't limited to one admin setting them up for everyone else.
Deleting a reminder with /del only removes that one entry; the rest of the group's active reminders keep running unaffected.
When NOT to use it: a reminder that only one person should see. If the group reminder is really about your own to-do, set it in your DM with the bot instead — anything created in the group posts to the group.
When NOT to use it: your free-tier slots are shared across every chat you use, so if you already have five personal reminders running, a group reminder won't fit until you free one up or upgrade.
When NOT to use it: an event that needs an RSVP headcount, a poll, or a schedule people vote on. It posts a message at a time — it doesn't collect answers from the group, so for sign-ups a dedicated event tool fits better.
A repeated daily or weekly reminder needs Pro — free reminders each fire once, so a recurring standup nudge means upgrading, not retyping the command every Monday.
