Never Miss a Reminder — Get Voice Calls from OpenClaw
Silent notifications get ignored. Text reminders get buried. A phone call that rings until you pick up? That gets your attention.
The Problem
- Push notifications are easy to swipe away
- Text-based reminders disappear in message threads
- Do Not Disturb mode silences everything
- Calendar alerts become background noise after the tenth one
The Solution
- A real phone call rings your device audibly
- Voice message tells you exactly what the reminder is about
- Works even in Do Not Disturb mode (phone calls break through)
- Natural language — just tell OpenClaw what to remind you about
How It Works
Install the Skill
Download the DoNotify skill into your OpenClaw workspace and add your API token.
Say "Remind Me"
Use natural language: "Remind me at 3pm to join the standup" or "Call me now about the groceries."
Your Phone Rings
DoNotify calls your phone at the scheduled time with a voice message describing your reminder.
What You Get
Immediate Calls
Say "call me now" and your phone rings within seconds with the reminder details.
Scheduled Reminders
Schedule calls for any future time. "Remind me at 2:30pm" just works.
Usage Tracking
Ask "how many reminders do I have left?" and the skill reports your usage stats.
Multi-Timezone
Set your timezone once in DoNotify. Reminders are always delivered in your local time.
