Original release notes
New icon, and the launch screen now animates the bell that goes with it. Describe the escalation, not just the reminder. You can now say or type the whole plan at once. "Remind me at 3pm to take my medication, escalate to Lauren if I miss it, then send a webhook to Home Assistant 30 minutes later" builds the entire backup timeline for you, in order, with the delays you asked for. Names are matched against people you've already added, and the channel stays inside whatever that person agreed to. If we can't match a name, we tell you instead of quietly dropping it, and we never invite anyone new on your behalf. Better titles. Reminders you speak or type now get the task as the title. Say "remind me at 3pm to take my medication" and it saves as "Take my medication" rather than the whole sentence. A nudge when it actually matters. Setting a reminder for 2am, or creating one while Do Not Disturb is on? RemindRelay offers to make that reminder break through. One tap to turn it on, one to dismiss, and it only asks when the timing calls for it.
