Hi folks, we’ve made a new app to help you schedule texts. Hedwig helped us a lot to not miss any important text to send to someone or, even to remember stuff to ourselves 🔔! We’ve been using it internally for the past few months, and after 👨🏽‍🎨 and 👩🏽‍💻 we’re happy to share our little Hedwig with you. She is now your personal owl too and will deliver any message you want at the right date and time! Hope you’ll like it :)

While the idea is great in theory it will be difficult in practice to get adoption because people have to 1. go and download it specifically, 2. remember to use it. 3. not use all the other programs out there to remember to do something 4. want to use it in ADDITION to their other texting apps and 5. be ok with sending a text from a number they have no affiliation with and no control over. I know this, overall, is difficult problem to solve, but you will have trouble getting any large scale adoption if you cannot solve most of those problems, or make it somehow so good that people don't care. People in this thread have mentioned Buffer, which makes sense, but the fundamental difference is that that queues messages for YOUR twitter account that are sent THROUGH your Twitter account. This sends messages on behalf of you. You could use any number of other services for that. I like the idea, definitely, but you're going to have major issues on your hands if you cannot solves those problems! You have to meet the user where they are and make it as easy as possible for them to adopt the product and use it while they are already using something else the use every day.

@hellosmoore Also charging per text message is a weird business model — I downloaded the app but deleted it right away when I saw that. This could all run locally for free; there's no need to create a per message fee when it could just be a push notification to trigger a self sent text. I send maybe a thousand or few thousand texts per week. Paying 10-20¢ extra per text to buffer even 200 is literally more than I pay my carrier for texting. I hope the creators find a way to better handle this oversight.

So does this send the text automatically through iMessage? Or give you the reminder and you need to manually do it?

@andy_bukuras Hi, no it doesn't send text automatically with iMessage simply because iMessage doesn't have an api to schedule texts. We have our own trained owl to tackle that 🦉🦉🦉🦉

SMS has been underdeveloped for too long. Still waiting for Unread, filing and file system, but love the 'Buffer for texts.' Now I can pre-schedule staying in touch with friends and family far in advance.

@tuckross that's partially true but it's not like Mighty Text unfortunately 😖

Hi. What are you using to send SMS? I tried couple of months back with nexmo but was getting a bug to send sms from an actual number to actual number.

Nice design, nice concept and looks really practical! Really looking forward to see this on Android and try it out for myself 😀 👍🏻

During authentication the app asks for number authentication.

You can add any live cell phone number to receive OTP.

Then Hedwig will sent the message from Hedwig server and you can add signature in your message for the recipient to know the sender of this text. No guessing is required.

Remove the Signature and you are set to ping your crush/ Ex with anonymous text.

Thanks Hedwig!

Pros:

Simple and easy interface. I really liked the UI

Cons:

Internet is must for this.
