Reminders and AFK
Remind yourself of anything in plain words, by private message, and tell a server you are away.
Reminders
/remind add when what sets a reminder. Say when in plain words:
in 2htomorrow 6pmfriday 19:302026-10-03 19:30
Options:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
repeat |
Make it come back every day or every week. |
where |
A private message (the default) or the channel you are in. |
Each reminder arrives with Snooze (10 minutes, an hour or tomorrow) and Done buttons.
Your time zone
Run /remind timezone once and give it your time zone (for example Europe/London or UTC+2). After that, "tomorrow 6pm" means yours.
Your list
/remind list shows your reminders and lets you cancel one.
Remind me about a message
Right-click any message, choose Apps, then Sigil: Remind me. It asks when, and sends you a private message with a link back to that message. Only the link is kept.
What is kept
A reminder keeps only what you typed, and is deleted a couple of days after it has been sent and dealt with. Reminders work anywhere, including private chats, even before a server has run /setup.
AFK
/afk [reason] marks you as away in that server.
- While you are away, Sigil tells people who mention you (at most once a minute per channel, and the note removes itself).
- The next time you write something, it welcomes you back and takes the AFK off.
- It lasts until then, or a week.
