Yes, you can find a video tutorial by following this link. The video may be old, but we have kept the core concepts of Beep Me the same to make it easy to use. The video covers relevant information.
To create a new reminder in Beep Me, follow these steps:
1. Open the Beep Me app and tap the plus sign in the bottom corner.
2. The button at the bottom of the "Add new beep" screen should say "Set".
3. Enter the text for your reminder.
4. To close the keyboard, tap the "done" button on the keyboard, or tap on any of the timer options.
5. Set a future date and time and update the repeat options as needed.
6. Tap the "Set" button. It should change to "Save". Any changes you make to the time or text of the reminder will override the previous reminder if you tap the "Save" button again. This is how you can edit and reschedule an existing reminder.
7. To create a new reminder, tap the plus sign again.
8. Make sure your device is not in silent mode and that the volume is not low so you will receive your reminder when it is scheduled to go off.
To modify a reminder in Beep Me, follow these steps:
1. Open the list of reminders and find the reminder you want to edit.
2. Tap the chevron icon next to the reminder to view its details.
3. The "Set" button at the bottom of the screen will change to "Save." Make any desired changes to the reminder and tap "Save" to update it.
4. Alternatively, you can tap on the reminder in the list to open a row of quick add-time buttons, which allow you to quickly delay the alert.
5. There is an option in the settings called "Quick delay options" that changes the behavior so that tapping on the row will open the reminder for full edit, while tapping the plus button (which replaces the chevron) will open the quick delay options.
To delete one or more reminders in Beep Me, you can either swipe your finger on a reminder in the list of future/today/old reminders to reveal the delete button, or follow these steps:
1. Go to the list of reminders.
2. Tap the "Edit" button.
3. Select one or more reminders.
4. Tap the "Delete" button at the bottom of the screen.
Alternatively, you can set the auto-delete option in the settings, which will automatically delete old reminders for you.
Yes, you can set a reminder to go off on a specific date and time. There is a button above the timer that allows you to switch between using a timer and selecting a specific date and time.
Yes, to set a reminder to repeat on specific days of the week, you'll need to create separate reminders for each day and set them to repeat weekly. Similarly, to set a reminder to repeat on specific days of the month, you'll need to create separate reminders for each day and set them to repeat monthly. Alternatively, you can use the custom interval option to set a reminder to repeat at a specific interval (e.g. every 5 days or 3 months) that aligns with your desired schedule.
Yes, you can set multiple alarms for a single reminder in Beep Me by using the nagging feature. To do so, go to the app settings and enable the nagging feature. You can then choose how many nags you want for each reminder and the interval between them. For example, if you set the nagging feature to 3 nags with a 30-minute interval, you will receive three reminders for the same event spaced 30 minutes apart.
There is no limit to the number of reminders you can set in the full version of Beep Me (the free version is limited to 3 concurrent reminders). However, there is a limitation in iOS that allows only 64 alarms to be active at once. If you have set more than 64 reminders (note that the nagging option multiplies the number of reminders, but the repeat option does not), make sure to open Beep Me from time to time to allow it to set the next reminders in the operating system. If you need more information, you can contact the Beep Me customer support team.
The quick schedule buttons in Beep Me are a convenient way to set the time for a reminder without scrolling through the timer or date/time pickers. They include options for setting the time to "Now", "+1mi" (1 minute), "+1h" (1 hour), "+1d" (1 day), "+1w" (1 week), and "+1m" (1 month).
In the list of reminders, you can also quickly update the time of a reminder. If you see a plus sign (+), tap it to open the line of quick schedule buttons (which will also include a button for updating the repeat option). If you see a chevron sign (>) instead, tap on the reminder message to open the line of quick schedule buttons.
You can control the mode of the quick schedule buttons in the settings by enabling the "Quick delay options" setting.
The phone icon in Beep Me allows you to set a "call reminder." When you tap this icon, it will open your contacts list, and you can choose a contact and phone number. When the event occurs, Beep Me will display a pop-up message with a "Call" button that allows you to directly call the chosen contact.
To mark a reminder as done, you can follow these steps:
1. Go to the list of reminders in the Beep Me app.
2. Swipe the reminder to the right.
3. A checkmark option will appear. Tap on it to mark the reminder as done.
4. Alternatively, you can tap on the Power icon to disable or skip the reminder.
You can mark a reminder as done before the actual date or time of the reminder. The app will not alert you about a reminder that has been marked as done.
Yes, you can mark reminders as done from your Apple Watch tapping the "Mark as Done" button. You can also skip or snooze the reminder by using the corresponding buttons. These actions will also be reflected in the Beep Me app on your iPhone or iPad.
There are two options for snoozing reminders in Beep Me:
1. Manual snoozing: When a reminder goes off, tap the "Reschedule" button and set a new date and time.
2. Automatic snoozing: In the settings, you can set the reschedule behavior to 15/30/60 minutes or 1 day. When a reminder goes off, you will have a "Snooze" button that will automatically reschedule the reminder according to the predefined value.
Yes, you can choose from 45 different sounds in the settings panel (1 sound for all of your reminders). You can also choose to have the reminder vibrate or be silent. Please note that the free version of Beep Me only supports 3 sounds, vibrate, or silent.
The "Minutes Interval" option allows you to set the granularity of the time picker in the app. For example, if you set the minutes interval to 15, you will only be able to select times in 15 minute increments (e.g. 12:00, 12:15, 12:30, 12:45). The default interval is 5 minutes.
The "Ask before action" option is a setting that causes Beep Me to prompt you for confirmation before taking certain actions, such as snoozing a reminder or making a call using the "call reminder" feature. When this option is enabled, you will be shown a confirmation dialog before the action is taken, giving you the opportunity to cancel or proceed. This can be useful if you want to avoid accidentally snoozing or calling someone.
Yes, you can set all your new reminders to repeat daily by default by using the "Default repeat" option in the app settings. This will apply to any new reminder you create, although you can still modify the repeat setting for individual reminders as needed. This is a helpful feature for procrastinators who want to be reminded of tasks on a daily basis.
Yes, Beep Me offers a dark mode option. To enable this, go to the app settings and select the "Theme" option. From here, you can choose the "Auto" theme, which will automatically switch between the light and dark modes based on your device's settings. Alternatively, you can choose from one of the colorful themes and customize your app's appearance further by selecting your own background wallpaper.
The nagging feature in Beep Me allows you to receive multiple reminders about a single beep. You can set the number of nags you want to receive and the interval between them. For example, if you didn't hear the first reminder, Beep Me will continue to nag you about it until you open the app again. There is also a "Pre Alarm" option that will alert you a few minutes before the actual reminder goes off. This can be useful for reminding you about meetings, appointments, etc.
You can choose from three options to set the badge behavior in Beep Me:
1. Future Beeps: If you set multiple reminders and then close the app, the icon will have a badge with the number of future reminders you have planned.
2. Missed Beeps: If you want Beep Me to count the number of reminders you have missed because you were not near your device, select this option.
3. No Badge: If you prefer to have a clean icon with no numbers displayed, select this option.
To sync reminders between two devices using Dropbox, follow these steps:
1. Set up backup and restore through Dropbox.
2. Select the option to backup on exit or backup on change and import on start or when change detected.
3. As long as the app is open on only one device at a time, the reminders will sync between the two devices.
4. Please note that the sync cannot happen automatically without opening the app on the second device.
5. To ensure that all of the latest reminders are synced to the second device, make sure to open the app on that device.
To sync reminders between two devices with Beep Me using iCloud, follow these steps:
1. On the first device, go to the settings and enable the "iCloud Sync" option. Then close the app.
2. On the second device, make sure there are no reminders present (you can use the "Delete Beeps" option to clear all).
3. Enable the "iCloud Sync" option on the second device.
4. Beep Me will receive updates from iCloud and update the list of reminders on both devices when available.
Here are some similarities and differences between how the two work:
1. Both iCloud and Dropbox offer a free tier for storing data.
2. The backup file generated by Beep Me is small and will not significantly impact your storage plan.
3. Dropbox provides faster updates as it immediately notifies Beep Me of any changes, while iCloud pushes updates to other devices when the operating system allows it, which may result in delays in sync.
4. Both services can be used for backup purposes, even if you don't need to sync between devices.
5. iCloud is free and comes with all Apple devices, so you might prefer it if you're only using Apple devices. Dropbox requires a separate account to be set up.
6. iCloud is a bit more secure, as it's encrypted by default, while Dropbox will not.
To share your reminders with others using Beep Me, follow these steps:
1. Open the list of reminders and tap the "Edit" button.
2. Select the reminders that you would like to share.
3. Tap the "Share" button.

There could be a few reasons why you are not hearing the Beep sound when a reminder goes off.
* One possibility is that the app was not downloaded correctly from the App Store. If you do not hear any sound at all, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. If you already have some reminders set up, make sure to use the backup option (e.g., Dropbox or iCloud) before uninstalling the app.
* If you can hear the sound in the app settings but not when the reminder is supposed to go off, it could be an issue with the app itself. In this case, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app or contacting the app's customer support for assistance.
* Another reason could be that your device is set to "Do Not Disturb" or "Sleep" mode, or it is muted. In these cases, you will not hear the reminder.
In order to use the "Import from Calendars" option in Beep Me, the app must be granted access to your calendars.

1. Open the device settings.
2. Go to the Privacy settings.
