A voice reminder app that never asks you to sign in
Most reminder apps want an email address before they'll remember a single thing for you. SayStash doesn't. You install it, tap the mic, and say what you need to remember.
Updated November 9, 2026.
The short version
- No account, no sign-up, no password. There is nothing to create and nothing to recover.
- Your reminders live on your phone. Notes, reminders and events are stored on the device. There's no SayStash server holding a copy.
- It still pings you. Reminders arrive as normal Android notifications, even with the app closed. Turn on exact timing and they land on the minute.
- Free. A small banner ad pays for it; a one-time $4.99 purchase removes the ad for good. No subscription.
Why "no account" matters more than it sounds
An account is how an app follows you. It's the hook for the newsletter, the "we've updated our terms" email, the sync service that quietly uploads everything you say, and the subscription prompt that shows up six months later. It's also one more password to lose.
A reminder is a small, private thing. "Call Mom at 3." "Gate code is on the fridge." "Dentist Friday at noon." None of that needs to go through anyone's server to get back to you at the right time. Your phone can keep it and your phone can ring. That's all SayStash does.
What "stored on your phone" means in practice
- Open the app for the first time and it just works. No welcome tour that ends in a sign-up form.
- Turn on airplane mode and your notes, reminders and typed entries still work.
- Want a backup? Export everything as a JSON file from Settings whenever you like, and import it on a new phone.
- Delete the app and the data goes with it, which is the point.
Voice-to-text uses your phone's built-in speech recognizer. On most Android phones that's Google's, and it may send audio to Google to transcribe it. If you'd rather keep audio on the device, use the typed quick-add. Everything else works exactly the same. Our privacy policy has the details.
How it works
- Say it. Tap the mic and talk the way you'd talk to a person: "remind me to pick up the dry cleaning tomorrow at 5."
- It's stashed. SayStash understands "tomorrow at 5", "next Friday", "in 20 minutes" and "noon", and files what you said as a reminder, an event or a note.
- Get pinged. A notification arrives at the right time. Tap Done or Snooze 10 min right from the notification.
Try it without installing anything
The whole app runs in your browser, with no sign-up there either. When you're ready, get it on Google Play.
