This application allows you to schedule and send messages to your contacts at a specific date and time. It integrates with your built-in Messages app and allows you to send messages from your own number. The app also offers a dark theme for easier use in low light and has a pro upgrade option for unlimited messages and voice command capabilities. The app was created by a family and includes fun Easter eggs for users to discover.
The creator of this app was inspired to make it after constantly forgetting to send important messages after asking Siri to remind them. With this app, you can write and schedule your message at the moment you think of it, ensuring it will be sent at the right time. This eliminates the risk of forgetting to send an important message.
The app works just like sending a regular text message. You select a recipient, write your message, and choose the date and time for it to be sent. When the time comes, you will receive a notification that allows you to send the message. This way, the message will come from you in your normal conversations, making it more personal and natural.
Carrier also offers the option to give access to your contacts, making it easier to select a recipient for your message. However, rest assured that your contacts will not be harvested or shared with anyone. It is simply a way to make your life easier. If you choose not to give access, you can still manually select a recipient.
The app also allows you to create groups for multiple recipients, making it easier to message them again in the future. You can manage your groups in the app's settings at any time. Additionally, the app offers a dark theme for a more comfortable experience in low light. The theme also automatically switches from light to dark depending on the lighting conditions.
Carrier is free to use for a limited number of messages each month. However, there is a pro upgrade option that unlocks unlimited messages, voice command capabilities, and supports continued development of the app. The app was created as a family project, with the creator's children contributing ideas for features and Easter eggs. The hope is that this app will be as helpful for others as it has been for the family.
