what would you like to stick with?
Start with a message. Here are a few things you can ask umi.
a desk break
Choose a daily window for stepping away briefly.

Use a wider gap if hourly nudges interrupt your focus.
a gentle stretch
Give the reminder a concrete action.
a little trust goes a long way.
Personal conversations deserve clear answers. Here’s what to expect from umi.
too many interruptions
Widen the interval or shorten the daily window. An hourly schedule is optional; choose the cadence that helps you.
you need a precise alarm
umi sends messages, with approximate delivery times. It is not an hourly chime or an alarm that overrides Focus or silent settings.
clear about your data
Your messages and preferences help umi respond. Our privacy page explains what is stored and which services process it.
always honest about AI
umi is an AI companion. A friendly conversation, with no pretending there’s a person behind the messages.
part of your world
umi adds a little company. Your friends, family, community, and professional support still matter.
you set the pace
You choose your check-ins. Ask umi to change or cancel a reminder. Text STOP to stop messages and request cancellation of future subscription renewals.
a few little questions.
Yes. Request a daily start time, end time and approximate spacing. Wait for confirmation of the saved window.
Do not rely on exact delivery. These are conversational check-ins, not precision alarms. Windowed schedules use approximate spacing.
Yes. For a daily window, ask for spacing from 30 minutes to 12 hours, within a window long enough for the interval.
You can review the current subscription offer during signup before subscribing. No separate App Store purchase is needed.
Send STOP on its own to stop messages and request cancellation of future subscription renewals linked to your phone number. This does not refund the current period. To stop one reminder, ask umi to cancel that reminder instead.
Delivery times are approximate. iMessage notifications also depend on your phone’s settings and connectivity; this is not an alarm that overrides Focus or silent mode.
