This project was inspired by a desire to continually reassure those I love and my own forgetfulness.
It is a framework I use to send text reminders to myself and others at regular intervals or times. It uses launchd on my laptop to call a Python script that uses the Twilio API to send the desired recipient a SMS with a particular message.
I have kept my config file off of this repo to protect my privacy, but it contains:
- My Twilio SID, titled "SID"
- My Twilio token, titled "TWILIO_TOKEN"
- My Twilio number, titled "TWILIO_NUMBER"
- A dictionary of messages, titled "MESSAGES"
- A dictionary of phone numbers, titled "RECIPIENTS"
Creating this file for yourself should allow you to use this repo just as effectively.
