Reminders that ring for everyone
Create a reminder with one or more friends and it rings on every phone at the time you set. If you change the time before it rings, everyone’s alarm moves with it.
Reminders and events for you and your crew
Tickaboo is a reminder app where a plan like “meet at 9 PM” doesn’t stay a text message. It rings a loud, full-screen alarm on your phone and on your friend’s phone, at exactly the time you picked. Plan a bigger get-together as an event, and your friends RSVP in a tap.
Pick a plan and tap Tick it for both. Sound plays after you tap.
How it rings
What happens behind the scenes when you set a reminder with a friend.
Type what’s happening, pick friends from your contacts, choose the day and time, and how early to ring.
Your friend gets a notification straight away: “Nithin added you to a reminder”. Their phone quietly sets the same alarm.
Both phones ring a full-screen alarm with the Tickaboo tone, even on a locked screen, and it shows in the notification bar too.
Hit On my way so the others know, snooze for 5 minutes, or mark it done.
What’s in the app
Create a reminder with one or more friends and it rings on every phone at the time you set. If you change the time before it rings, everyone’s alarm moves with it.
Take a tablet at 5 PM every day, or go to the gym every Sunday. Set it once, choose Daily or Weekly, and it rings at that time until you stop it.
Plan a birthday, a trip or match night as an event. Pick the date and time, add friends, and add a place and notes if you like. Everyone gets an invite, taps Going, Maybe or Can’t go, and you see who’s coming in real time.
On the day, guests get a heads-up in the morning and another one hour before it starts. Change the time and everyone’s notes move with it.
“Call Mom at 6:30.” Pick the day and time, then choose to ring on time or 5, 15 or 60 minutes early.
A full-screen alarm with its own ringtone, plus Snooze and Done right in the notification bar. If the app is open, it rings on the home screen.
No passwords. Enter your mobile number and email, tap the sign-in link we email you, add your name and a photo, and you’re in.
Tickaboo checks your contacts and shows which friends are already on the app. Invite the rest with one tap.
Type where you’re meeting. When the alarm rings, one tap opens that place in Maps.
Change a reminder any time before it rings. Once it’s done, it moves to the Done tab so your list stays clean.
Tap “On my way” from the ringing screen and everyone else on the reminder gets a notification. If a plan is cancelled, they hear about that too.

The company
Ringlet Labs builds small, friendly apps that help people keep their plans. A ringlet is a small ring, and our first app is about exactly that: a little ring, at the right moment, for you and the people you’re meeting.
Tickaboo is our first product. It’s built in India, for Android first.
Questions
Yes. To ring on their phone, your friend needs the app. Tickaboo shows which contacts already have it, and you can invite anyone else by SMS from the Crew screen.
Yes. Tickaboo schedules a real alarm on the phone, so it rings full-screen on the lock screen with its own tone. On some phones (Xiaomi, Honor, Oppo, Vivo) you may need to allow Tickaboo to run in the background and allow its sound in notification settings.
Yes, any time before it rings. Tap the reminder and choose Edit. For shared reminders, everyone’s alarm moves to the new time.
The alarm stops and the reminder moves to your Done tab. Your friends’ reminders stay active until they tick them off too.
Tap + and choose Event. Add a title, date, time, friends, and a place or notes if you like, then tap Send invites. Friends get a notification and answer Going, Maybe or Can’t go, and the host is told each time someone replies. On the day, everyone who hasn’t said no gets a note in the morning and one hour before.
Yes. When you create a reminder, choose Daily or Weekly under Repeat. Tapping Done stops today’s ring and keeps the reminder for next time. To stop it for good, tap the reminder and choose Stop repeating.
Yes, Tickaboo is free during the beta.
Not yet. Tickaboo launches on Android first, and iPhone is on our roadmap.
Tickaboo is in private beta on Android. It’s coming soon to Google Play.
