A Catalogue of Methods

Reminders that
find you.

Your brain tunes out every notification within three days. Funes changes the delivery method before that happens. Today it's a push notification. Tomorrow it's a pigeon.

Start Free Trial No credit card required — Days 1–7 only

Every reminder app works the same way. They send you a notification. You dismiss it. You develop immunity within seventy-two hours. Every system assumes you are the same person who set it up. You are not. You have never been.

The Full Delivery Cycle

Thirteen days. Thirteen methods. The cycle resets. Thirteen does not divide evenly into seven. This is intentional.

Day 1 Push Notification Familiar

A standard push notification to your phone. Tappable. Dismissable. Unforgettable, if you choose to remember.

Day 2 Email to Work Address Familiar

Delivered to your professional email address with the subject line "A gentle nudge from someone who believes in you."

Your manager will be CC'd. We have found it helps.

Day 3 Post-It Notes Noted

A certified Funes Field Operative will attend your home during the night. You will not hear them. You will wake to find every north-facing surface covered.

The notes are written by hand. One of them will contain something you have not told anyone. We ask that you do not contact us about this particular note. It is part of the service.

Day 4 Signal Fires Distant

Signal fires are lit on hills visible from your nearest window between 6:15 and 6:45 AM. The smoke forms letters.

If you live somewhere without hills, the hills will be provided. You may notice disturbed earth in the morning. This is normal and will settle.

Day 5 Carrier Pigeons Patient

A kettle of pigeons will arrive between 6:00 and 8:00 AM. Each bird carries one word of your reminder. They will wait until all birds are present and the full message can be read.

They are patient. They have nowhere else to be.

Day 6 Push Notification (Reprise) Prior

A push notification. Identical in appearance to Day 1.

It will arrive eleven seconds before you unlock your phone. You will check whether you unlocked your phone first. You did not. You will show this to someone you trust. They will look at it for a long time. They will not say anything useful.

Day 7 The Gentleman With the Earpiece Visited

He will not introduce himself. He will be somewhere near you and will speak your reminder once, quietly and clearly. The words will reach you from a comfortable and professional distance.

He will then be elsewhere. Your neighbours, if consulted, will have no memory of seeing anyone in the hall.

He has excellent posture.

Day 8 The Library Indexed

A volume will appear on your shelf, between two books you cannot clearly remember acquiring. It contains only your reminders, in a font that does not appear in any catalogue. The edition predates your birth.

Stamped inside the front cover: a due date. The due date is today.

Day 9 The Signature Witnessed

A courier arrives with a parcel of unremarkable weight. They require a signature.

The name pre-printed on the clipboard will be yours, but spelled in a way you have not encountered before and cannot now forget. Inside the parcel: your reminder, on a single card. The postmark is dated a week from now.

Day 10 The Map Surveyed

A rolled map of a city you do not recognise. The streets are named for your appointments. The districts are named for your habits. The river runs in the direction of your most avoided task.

The legend is in your own handwriting. You will have no memory of writing it.

If you follow the map, you will arrive somewhere. Your reminder will be on the door.

Day 11 The Mirror Anticipated

Nothing will be different about the mirror.

You will simply find, one morning, that your reflection has already read the reminder and is waiting for you to catch up. It will, if you watch carefully, give a small nod when you have understood.

Our support team cannot take questions about Day 11.

Day 12 The Archivist Recorded

A person arrives with a green filing cabinet. They do not speak. They spend several hours cross-referencing documents you do not remember producing.

When they leave, everything is as it was. Your reminder is now filed under a category you could not have named before but immediately understand to be accurate.

Day 13 The Sentence pending

You will be mid-sentence when it happens. The words will leave your mouth in your own voice. The person you are speaking to will notice nothing.

You will have complied before you understood that you were delivering it.

Day 14: The cycle resets. Push notification. 8:00 AM. "Take your medication, Jessica." You will find it easier to comply than before. We are not certain why this is. We have stopped investigating. Because the cycle is thirteen days, it will never again fall on the same day of the week as it started. We consider this a feature.

What our users say

"I've tried every app. Every system. Notion, Things, Todoist, a whiteboard, a therapist who specialised in executive function. Funes is the first thing that has ever made me take my medication on time. I don't know how the Post-It notes got in. My door was locked."
Priya S. — Product Manager, London
"The pigeons arrived at my office. All 47 of them. My colleagues thought it was a publicity stunt. I let them think that. I took my medication. I have not missed a dose in four months."
Marcus T. — Freelance Developer, Berlin
"On Day 6 I checked my phone's notification log. The timestamp was real. I showed it to a friend who works in software. He looked at it for a long time and then changed the subject. I renewed my annual subscription that afternoon."
Rachel O. — UX Researcher, Toronto
"The Gentleman visited on a Thursday. He wore a grey overcoat. He said: 'Your 3pm with Dr Harrow. The results are ready.' He was correct. I have not seen him since, but I have the sense that he is nearby. This has, surprisingly, improved my productivity."
David F. — Architect, Edinburgh
"The book was between my copy of Borges and a book I could not account for. I read the book I could not account for first. It contained only a single sentence, repeated across four hundred pages, in diminishing typeface: You already know what you need to do. I found this more useful than I expected."
Name withheld — Day 8 User
"I asked customer support what the note said - the one with the thing I hadn't told anyone. They replied: 'We don't write the notes.' I asked who did. They replied: 'We don't write the notes.' I have elected to treat this as reassuring."
Tom A. — Journalist, Melbourne

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you pronounce Funes?
Correctly.
How do the Field Operatives enter my home?
Our Field Operatives are trained in what we describe internally as "access facilitation." We have found it is more reassuring for users not to know the specifics. Your home is left exactly as found, with the addition of the notes.
What if I don't have a manager to CC?
If you are self-employed or freelance, we will CC a version of you that is slightly more organised. You will receive their replies. They are often brisk.
Can I configure which days I receive which delivery method?
Days 1 through 7 are fully configurable in your dashboard. Days 8 through 10 are configurable in the sense that you may submit preferences, which are read and considered. Days 11 through 13 do not have configuration panels. This has been raised with engineering on multiple occasions. Engineering's most recent response was a single word, which we have chosen not to share.
Why thirteen days? That seems like a strange number.
It is a prime number. It does not divide into seven. This means the cycle will never again align with the same day of the week on which it started. Your reminders will arrive on different days of the week with each cycle, preventing the calendar-based habituation that defeats every other system. If you find yourself thinking "ah, it's a Thursday, so today must be a pigeon day" - you are correct, but only this once. Next time it will be a Wednesday. We consider the mild disorientation to be therapeutic.
Are the pigeons trained? Will they leave?
The pigeons are not trained in the conventional sense. They appear to understand the task. They leave when you acknowledge the reminder in the app. We have not, in any documented case, had pigeons that did not eventually leave. We would like to be more emphatic about this but our legal team has advised against absolute guarantees.
Is Funes available outside the UK?
Fully available in the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Japan. Partially available (Days 1–7) in the US, due to ongoing regulatory discussions about the Post-It deployment programme. The Gentleman is available in 34 cities. The Library is available everywhere. The Library has always been everywhere.
I found a door on the map that I recognised. Should I have gone through it?
That is outside the scope of the reminder service. The reminder was on the door. Whether to open the door is a question about your task, not about our delivery method. We hope, genuinely, that you found what you were looking for. Most users report that they did.
What was in the note? The one that contained something I had not told anyone?
We do not write the notes.
The Archivist removed something. I cannot identify what. Should I be concerned?
In our experience, what is removed is something you had already finished with. You simply hadn't noticed. Most users report feeling lighter. A small number report the opposite. Both responses are considered normal. We do not offer to return what was taken. We have found that users who ask for it back do not, on reflection, want it back.
What is Day 11?
Support is unavailable for this question. However: you will know it has worked because you will have already complied before you remembered that you needed to.
On Day 13, I said something I did not mean to say. It was the reminder. The person I was speaking to looked at me strangely. What do I do?
You do the thing the reminder told you to do. That is what you do. The other person will not remember the strangeness. You will.
Really, how do you pronounce Funes?
The question has been answered. The matter is closed. The posture is excellent.
Funes Ltd. Registered in England and Wales. The Post-It note service operates under licence from the Ambient Accountability Framework (AAF) 2019. Terrain Operations compliant with the Temporary Topography Act. Carrier pigeons are ethically sourced and returned to their home lofts following acknowledgement; Funes accepts no liability for pigeons that elect to remain on the premises of their own volition. The Gentleman is a contractor, not an employee of Funes Ltd., and his precise contractual arrangement is, we have been advised, not something we are able to discuss. The Library volume is not a loan. The Map is not a metaphor. The Signature's spelling of your name carries no legal status in any jurisdiction we have been able to identify, though we note that several jurisdictions have not responded to our enquiries. The Archivist operates under a separate service agreement which is not available to subscribers. What the Archivist removes is covered under the Standard Relinquishment Clause (Schedule 4, paragraph 11). Days 8–13 are included as described and carry no warranty beyond the warranty implicit in their occurring. The thirteen-day cycle length is not arbitrary and is not available for discussion. By subscribing to any Funes plan you agree to the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, and the Acknowledgement of Unusual Methods. The Acknowledgement of Unusual Methods is seven pages long and contains one sentence you will want to re-read. You will know which one.
