Reminders
One-off and recurring reminders for members and for staff, in the member's own time zone, delivered as a plain message or an embed you designed.
Two audiences at once: members setting themselves a nudge with /reminder create, and staff scheduling a recurring message from the dashboard.
Time zones
Nobody has to configure one
Discord never tells a bot a member's time zone, so Arclo captures the browser's zone when somebody opens the dashboard and uses it for their reminders. Confirmations use Discord timestamps, which render in each reader's own clock regardless. There is deliberately no server time zone setting and no command to set one.
Creating one
- When
- A duration (
in 3 hours), or a date and time. - Repeat
- Every N minutes, hours, days or weeks. Minute and hour repeats step within a daily window; day and week repeats anchor to the start date, so they stay on the same weekday through daylight saving.
- Where
- A DM, or a channel. A channel reminder needs the permission to manage the server or a delegated role.
- Mentions
- A role can be mentioned only if it is mentionable, or you hold Mention Everyone — the same rule Discord applies to people.
- Message
- Plain by default.
/reminder create embed:Trueopens a short form; dashboard reminders get the full editor.

Running them
- One switch per reminder — enabled or disabled. Disabling freezes it; enabling recomputes the next run from now.
- A delivery carries a Pause button, so the recipient can stop a recurring reminder without opening anything.
- A failed send is retried a few times; the last error is shown on the dashboard list.
- A recurring reminder more than six hours late skips that occurrence rather than firing a stale one. A one-off always sends, however late.
- There is a per-member cap on how many reminders one person may keep.
