Or missing out on important tasks while you set out to accomplish others? Great news—[**Flock’s** **Reminders App **](https://apps.flock.com/reminders)has got your back. With the app, you can set reminders for yourself and your teammates, for just about anything. While you could previously set reminders for yourself or a channel via the ***‘/remind*’** command; with shiny new Reminders, there’s a lot more in store! *Drum roll please* ## Here’s everything you can do with Flock's Reminders: #### Access the Reminders app from the app sidebar So here’s the one place where you can see all the things you’ve been running late or steady on. You can: - Create/View/Edit/Delete your reminders from the app sidebar - View all upcoming reminders for you or your team members   [![Screenshot: Flock Reminders tool](https://blog.flock.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/19HUzKEXJF9skWrYIMSs4pQ.png)](Screenshot:%20see%20your%20upcoming%20reminders%20in%20Flock) #### Set reminders for yourself - Open the app sidebar and set a reminder for yourself - The Reminder Bot will remind you when it’s time #### Set reminders for everyone else - When you’re creating a reminder from the app sidebar, you’ll have the option to add anyone you like - You can set reminders for an entire channel at one go   [![Screenshot: assign reminders to individuals in Flock](https://blog.flock.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1z6_aatlWAbIVuQ9xgqrl6w.png)](Screenshot:%20set%20a%20reminder%20to%20individuals%20in%20Flock) - When it’s time, the Reminder Bot will shoot a message in the channel ### Want to master the Flock app?

Snooze the alarm and get back to your task, whenever your plate is relatively free. #### Choose a time and date for your reminders - You can set reminders for a few minutes or hours later   ![Screenshot: Flock reminder setup](https://blog.flock.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1jrvfhWcxKMN8KF7dEVe0Qg.png) Eg. *‘/remind me in 45 minutes to get on a video call with the team in China’* - Or you can set it for a specific time Eg. ‘*/remind me at 7pm to say hello’* - You can set reminders for a particular date Eg. *‘/remind all on 30th June to file tax returns’* - You can chose to repeat a reminder   ![Screenshot: repeating reminders in Flock](https://blog.flock.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1-nuBIkSiMRTcx03wBq5v-g.jpeg) #### Use slash command reminders The good ol’ time saving slash reminders are still a part of Flock. - Type *‘/remind’* and complete the reminder message with the help of the prompt command. For example, to set a reminder for yourself, type ‘*/remind me in 15 mins to attend the brainstorming session’*   ![Screenshot: a reminder command in Flock](https://blog.flock.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1d7QV85fLgLXaY7xbXOZjjA.png) - Type *‘/remind’ *and again, follow the prompt command - For instance, to set a reminder for all your team members, type *‘remind all in 2 hours to prepare presentation for the meeting’ *while you’re in that particular channel   ![Screenshot: a reminder command in Flock](https://blog.flock.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1WWztXWYuSlHVLU4Pw4niWw.png) Reminders come extremely handy when you’re tackling time sensitive issues at work.
