Hynt alerts users exactly where the reminder is needed— even if your phone is on silent

By now, we’ve shared what Hynt is & how it works. To recap: there’s a reminders app (more on that later), and then there are these tiny, location-smart Bluetooth LE devices, called Hynt Tokens, that you can spread throughout your space to give your phone a better lay of the land.

But what about everyday use? What do you do with all this location precision? Well, we haven’t said much about features.

With just over a month left before the launch, today, we’re sharing some more…

Hynt iMessage Reminders

Now you can send a reminder to a family member that’s actually, well, a reminder. Not a text, but a location-precise reminder. A reminder that, once accepted, re-appears later on— just as it’s needed, at just the right spot.

With Hynt iMessage Reminders, a “don’t forget” text becomes a special-ringtone alert that gets your attention at the critical moment it’s needed. Regular reminders can be missed, but Hynt cuts through the noise. Even if your phone is on silent.

Hynt enables a level of precision that makes for super-actionable reminders. And when it comes to reminders, actionable = better.

Better reminders, powered by precision. That’s Hynt.

What’s it all look like? How much will it cost?

The iMessage app is just one part of the Hynt reminders experience. That’s really all we have to say for now. No, I can’t show you what a Hynt Token looks like — yet. But we will in a couple of weeks.

We’re sharing more & more each week leading up to the launch. This post won’t be featured on our company blog or social posts until the 12th. So if you’re reading this on the 10th or the 11th, you’re on the inside and will continue to be first to know more.

But if it’s March 12th or later, and you’re just discovering Hynt — or if you’re some sort of singularity-is-near Ray Kurzweilian time-traveling disembodied meta presence — welcome! We launch in April (but you knew that). No killing all humans.

Last thing: Hynt launches in April at an irresistible price.
