Get Email Me on the App Store to send yourself reminders by voice, in one tap or with Siri.
1. Ask Siri (no taps at all)
With Email Me installed and your address set once in the app:
- Say "Hey Siri, Email Me a note".
- Siri asks what's on your mind. Say the reminder, for example "Call the dentist on Monday".
- Siri sends it, and the email is in your inbox a moment later.
You don't need to record any custom phrase. To pick which address Siri sends to, open Email Me and go to Settings, Siri. The full setup is in how to use Siri with Email Me.
Without an app: Siri can also use Apple's Mail. Say "Send an email to" followed by your own name (it works if you are saved in your contacts), then dictate the subject and message. It takes a few more back and forth steps, but it works.
2. Dictate with the microphone key
Any time the keyboard is open, tap the microphone key and talk instead of typing. iOS writes out what you say, including punctuation. In Email Me the keyboard is ready as soon as the app opens, so it's: open, tap the mic, speak, tap Send.
3. Record a voice note that turns into text
When the reminder is longer, or you're walking or cooking:
- Open Email Me and tap the microphone button.
- Say your reminder. The transcript appears while you speak.
- Tap Send. You get an email with the text, and the recording too, depending on your settings.
Two settings make this even faster: Start recording audio on App launch, so the app is listening the moment it opens, and Auto-send after silence, so it sends when you stop talking. You can also say "Hey Siri, Create an audio note in Email Me". There's a step by step guide to recording voice notes on iPhone.
4. Share links and images without copying anything
For "remind me to read this" or "remind me to buy this", don't type the link. Tap Share in Safari, Photos or almost any app and choose Email Me. The link or image goes straight to your inbox. If Email Me isn't in the list, see how to add it to the share sheet.
Why email yourself reminders
- It's where you look anyway: you check your inbox every day, on every device.
- It stays visible: the reminder sits there until you archive it.
- It's searchable: find any note later with your inbox search.
- No new system to learn: no extra list app to keep up to date.
Some features, like audio notes and the share extension, are part of Email Me Pro, which you can try free first.
