How to Switch from SimpleTexting to Remindly (Step-by-Step)

Switching from SimpleTexting to Remindly is mostly a matter of following the same three steps every OneTimeSuite app uses — buy once, deploy or install, bring your workflow over.

Step 1: Buy once on Whop

One payment of $34 gets you the packaged Windows installer wired up, or clone the MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/appointment-reminder-sms-mvp and run it free.

Step 2: Connect your Twilio and SMTP

Drop your own Account SID, Auth Token and from-number into Settings, and add SMTP if you want email reminders.

Step 3: Import appointments and set rules

Load appointments manually or by CSV, define reminder offsets, and let the scheduler send while clients reply C or R.

What to expect during the switch

Remindly covers the same core workflow as SimpleTexting, so most people are productive within the first session — see the full feature list and FAQ on the product page before you commit.

Why make the switch at all

SimpleTexting runs $29+/mo, forever. Remindly is $34, once. Remindly costs about one month of SimpleTexting once — after year one you pay only the SMS fees you were already going to pay anyway.

Try Remindly — $34, once

Self-hosted appointment reminder tool that sends SMS and email through your own Twilio and SMTP.
