    Thanks for this. My mom died one month ago after a years-long battle with ovarian cancer. Even when she was suffering from chemotherapy treatment, she would always think text to remind me to do the little things.

    I remember when I told her I needed to have the oil pressure sensor replaced in my car and that I hadn’t had an oil change in almost a year. She asked me if I wanted her to nag me about it as one task or two separate tasks. When I explained that the same guy would do both, she said, “Got it - one task. Want me to set a deadline of, say, next Friday?” And I thought, that’s strange, deadline for what? To stop nagging me?

    She died that following Friday.

    Thanks for keeping Mom alive in your own little way.

    I'm an adult, but I still need someone to nag on me to get things done. Simple reminders on my phone don't do it.

    So I built Mom-as-a-Service, or MaaS.

    Tell it what you need to do, such as book a dentist appointment, or book flights home for thanksgiving, and it will text and nag you everyday until you can prove you did the thing you said you would do.

    Give it a try!
