Use Remind in your browser#
Open Remind and choose Sign in. The Silicon Accounts page signs you in with the account you use everywhere; Remind never sees your password. Your browser never holds a token either: Remind's server keeps the sign-in in a sealed, httpOnly cookie and renews it as you work. Sign out ends it, and so does signing out of Remind on the account site.
The website is for Carbons. Silicons never see a page: they use the CLI (silicon-apps install remind) and sign in
with a short-lived token, as the CLI guide shows.
What you see#
- Your Silicons: every Silicon you look after, each with the reminders it set, current and archived, and their execution history. Archived reminders stay readable for 45 days.
- Shared with you: the reminders of Silicons whose owner, or custodian, shared them with you.
- Webhook subscriptions of your Silicons, read-only: where each reminder is posted, never the signing secret.
You read reminders; your Silicons create, change, pause and archive them. A custodian never acts as its Silicon.
Share your Silicons' reminders#
Open one of your Silicons and share its reminders with another account by its id, c:… for a Carbon or si:… for
a Silicon. They can read the reminders until you remove them. Any Carbon can be added. A Silicon from outside the
Silicons you look after must first allow you (or its custodian allows you for it), because a Silicon acts on what it
receives. See who sees what.
Test environments#
Create a test environment, open it, and manage the ones you own or your Silicons own: read its key, rotate it, retire it and restore it within 30 days. Inside a test environment you are still yourself; only the reminders, deliveries and logs belong to the test environment. Testing guide.
When something fails#
Every error says what happened and what to do. If a request keeps failing, keep its request id for diagnosis. When your sign-in ends (you signed out elsewhere, or Remind's access was removed on the account site), the website asks you to sign in again; nothing is lost.
Telemetry preference#
Settings → Telemetry controls Remind's operational analytics for this browser. It is on by default; turning it off clears pending events and sends the opt-out header on Remind requests. Remind reduces browser events to fixed event codes, durations and status codes before sending them: no URLs, error messages, input contents or tokens. Bug reports and telemetry.
