Be the one who never forgets.

Tell us one date that matters. We'll email you two weeks before, with the card already drafted in your voice.

Pick the one that sounds like you.

Three kinds of people use this:

The Stuck One: Means well. Forgets anyway.

Needs a calmer system. Not a guilt trip and not a notification stack.

The Hero: Already remembers everything.

Just wants the receipts — and the gift list — in one place.

The Intentional One: Wants the words to land.

Will edit. Will care. Just needs a start that doesn't sound like a robot.

Four things. Done well.

Remembers the dates

Birthdays, anniversaries, the random ones that matter only to you.

Keeps a profile

What they like. What they don't. The small things you keep forgetting.

Drafts the message

In your voice. You edit a word or two and hit send.

Suggests the gift

Grounded in what they actually want — not what's trending.

A minute a person. Then it runs itself.

  1. Add four people you care about. Partner. Mom. Best friend. The one you keep meaning to text.
  2. Tell us a couple things about them. Birthday. One thing they love. One thing they hate. That's it.
  3. We watch the calendar — quietly. When something's coming up, we draft something for you to send.

A note from me

"A few years back, a friend in my men's group told us he'd forgotten his anniversary. He felt awful. He wasn't a bad husband — he just had eight tabs open and a world that had gone sideways. y:MT is the quiet system I wish he'd had. The one I wish I'd had."

Two weeks early. Card already written.

This is the actual email. Not a notification that says "do something" — the something, done.

Sarah's birthday is in 14 days. A message you could send, drafted from what you've told us about Sarah:

"Sarah — I still think about that bookshop in Portland and how you wouldn't leave without that Didion. Here's to a year with more afternoons like that one. Happy birthday. I love you."

Questions people ask

Is it really free?

Yes. No card, no trial that turns into a charge. It's a side project I wanted for myself; it costs me cents to run.

What happens after I enter a date?

You get a welcome email that explains how it works. Two weeks before each date you get a reminder with the card already drafted, again a few days before, and on the day.

How is this different from a calendar reminder?

A calendar tells you it's today. y:MT tells you two weeks early, while there's still time to order a gift, and the email comes with a card message already drafted from what you've told us about them, plus gift ideas.

Which dates can it remind me about?

Birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Mother's Day and Father's Day, plus any other date that matters to you.

Do you sell my email or their details?

No. Nothing is shared or sold. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe, and you can delete everything from Settings.

Is there an app?

Not yet. It works in any browser, and the reminders arrive by email, which is where most of us actually look.
