Family reminder channels: never miss a birthday again

· AlertEnu Team

Not every alert is a business broadcast. The most common AlertEnu channel is the quiet, useful one: a family channel that remembers the dates you don't.

Set it up on your phone in a minute

  1. Create a private channel — "Kowalski Family".
  2. Invite people with a link, a QR code, or from your contacts.
  3. Add the birthdays and anniversaries to the channel calendar.

From then on, everyone in the channel gets a friendly reminder at the right time — no spreadsheet, no group chat noise.

Why it stays free

A family will never come close to the free subscriber cap, so a family channel is free forever. There's no purchase flow in the app at all — it's a free download with free signup, exactly like creating a group chat.

Beyond birthdays

  • Bin day and recycling reminders for the household.
  • "Pick up the kids" on the days that change each week.
  • Shared trip countdowns.

The same app a supermarket's customers use to get deals is the app your family uses to remember Grandma's birthday — one build, many uses.
