Description
Carrier is the best way to schedule messages.
**Note:** For your privacy, it is not possible to send messages on your behalf without you taking action. You have to push send when you get the notification. Don't forget!
## Why I created this
Asking Siri to remind you to send someone a message only helps if you can remember what you wanted to say. After forgetting one too many times to send an important message, I decided to make an app to help me out. Now I can write and schedule the message when I think of it and send it at just the right time.
## How it works
Just as when sending a regular text message, you select a person and write your message. Then you choose the date and time for the message to send. When the time comes, you will get a notification that will allow you to send the message. It integrates with the built-in Messages app, so it comes from you in your normal conversations.
## Contacts
If you choose to give Carrier access to your contacts, it is effortless to select a recipient for your message. Rest assured that your contacts are not harvested or shared with anyone—it just makes your life easier. If you do not give access, you can still select a recipient.
## Groups
When you choose multiple recipients for a message, you will be prompted to create a group to make it easier to message those people again. You can manage your groups in Settings at any time.
## Dark theme
A gorgeous dark theme makes writing and scheduling messages in low light easy on your eyes. And with automatic switching from light to dark themes, you can always have the best experience for the moment.
## Pro upgrade
Carrier is free to use for a limited number of messages each month. When you upgrade to Carrier Pro, you will unlock unlimited messages, the ability to use your voice to create and schedule messages, and help support continued development. Thanks!
## Family project
As I have worked on this app, my kids have contributed lots of ideas for features. My eleven-year-old daughter thought of many of the Easter eggs, and hopes you will enjoy finding them.
We hope this will be as much help for you as it has been for us!

Ratings and Reviews
Groups are hard
I had to manually look up four different people for a group chat, and it offered me the opportunity to save them as a group, but every time I text them I want to text a new thought to them I have to manually select each person to text the group, even though I just saved it as a group. my recommendation is to find a way to save the group as an option to choose to text in the menu because right now whenever I want to text somebody, I have to either choose from my phone contacts or enter the number in manually, but it would be nice if there was a third option that said group.
Other than that, the price is a good deal to text one person at a time.

Hi B-Cat1995, sorry the groups are not easier. When you save the group, you can give it a name, and then you can type the name of the group when selecting a recipient. If you want to manage groups, you can do that through the settings button on the main screen. Hopefully that helps!

Doesn’t work automatically
I set a test message to be sent. It notified me that I had a message scheduled to be sent, but it did NOT send the message. I had to trigger that manually. I could not find a setting to make it automated at the scheduled time without further input from me. I will continue to use the shortcut that I created which does what I want and is completely free.

Hi Doshos,
Sorry that wasn’t more clear. For your security, Apple doesn’t allow an app to send a message on your behalf—you have to be the one to hit the send button. So when you get the notification, you tap on it and then hit send. Sounds like you’ve found something that works for you though, so I’m glad! Sorry again for the confusion.

Making Me A Better Communicator
I work intensely during the day and I may not be able to send out quick text messages to spark conversation. However, this app makes my communication effective and timely. I can create the messages at 3:00 am when I do my brain dump or whenever the thought or idea comes to my mind. I can schedule them to send for a future time or date. The best part is the integration with the apple messenger app. So all my messages are still within the cloud! I love the app and it was worth the paid feature.

LifeLongTeacher, I’m so glad it’s working well for you. Thanks for the kind words!
