Inspiration

In our fast-paced digital world, we constantly need to remember things - follow up on emails, check on tasks, revisit ideas, or remember important dates. Traditional reminder apps require:

Creating accounts
Downloading apps
Learning new interfaces
Context switching

What if you could just send an email?

followmelater was born from this simple idea: use the tool you already use every day - email - to schedule reminders. No apps, no accounts, no friction. Just send an email to tomorrow@yashasewi.me and it comes back to you tomorrow.

What It Does

followmelater is an email-based reminder service that lets users schedule follow-ups by simply sending emails to time-based addresses. The magic happens through:

Intuitive Addressing: Send to 3days@yashasewi.me → get reminded in 3 days
Natural Language: tomorrow@, nextweek@, jan15@, 9am.tuesday@ all work
AI Summaries: Prefix with "sum" (e.g., sum3days@) to get AI-powered summaries instead of full emails
Zero Friction: No signup required - start using immediately
Web Dashboard: Optionally create an account to view and manage all reminders

How It Works
