meaning to
call your mom

the only app that cares about your mom more than you do.

start calling

pick your voice

pick the one that sounds like the voice in your head right before you finally pick up the phone.

a sample message
tough love:

"Baby, it's been ten days. Your mama doesn't ask for much. Go on and call her."

what's your excuse?

type the one you actually use. pick who answers. see if it holds up.

0/140
who answers
tough love:

nothing yet. your excuse goes on the left.

the trick

you can't dismiss
the reminder.
until you log the call.

every other reminder app loses to one tap. ours doesn't have that tap. the only way to make the nudge go away is to write down what you and your mom talked about. it builds your private journal. it changes the math.

honor system. no AI judging your description. you're accountable to you.

mmhmm. i see you. out here living your life, and your mama's just sitting by the phone.

call her now
i called → log it
snooze a week
no exit

how it works

three steps. then it's just you and her.

  1. 1

    tell us about your mom

    her name, what you love about her, and what she likes to talk about. takes 90 seconds.

  2. 2

    we send the nudge

    in the voice you picked: auntie, homie, conscience, or sage. at the tough-love level you set. quietly, never between 9pm and 9am.

  3. 3

    you actually call. then log it.

    the only way to dismiss the reminder is to write down what you talked about. it builds a private journal you'll keep forever.
