CLAIMING A JOB

WHAT IS LATE

Why ClaimBell
One person usually carries the invisible work. ClaimBell spreads the load without forcing everyone onto a new app.
Birthdays and anniversaries are days. They're remembered, never "completed". Bills, renewals and school forms are jobs: someone claims them, and they end in done.
Reminders arrive by email with a secure action link. They can confirm, claim, or mark done right there. The receiving side is free forever.
Chinese lunar calendar with leap-month rules — never a fake placeholder year. You always see the actual Gregorian date the reminder will fire on.
The gap we're building into
"I had to download the app and get it set up on his phone."
A line we kept meeting while reading 29 family-app threads before we wrote a word of ClaimBell. Quoted anonymously, and not from a customer — we haven't shipped yet.
First-party reminder platforms we audited — Apple Reminders and Amazon Alexa among them — that let the person being reminded claim, confirm or complete anything without an account of their own. Not one. That missing handshake is the entire reason ClaimBell exists.
They answer from a secure email link. No account, no password, nothing to forget.
Households inside one ecosystem land near 60%. A split iPhone-and-Android family falls straight through the gap.
Long enough for a grandparent who checks email on Sundays. Single-use, private, and it expires on its own.
How it works
A birthday, a passport renewal, the water bill. Set reminders like 30 days, 7 days, and the morning of — the server rings them on your family's time zone, app open or not.
Installed family gets push. Everyone else gets an email with a secure action link — opening it costs nothing and signs nothing up.
They tap to claim or mark done, and every device updates. What's left sits in one honest place: the unclaimed list. A job's status, never a person's blame.
A daily health reminder from the family. One tap closes the loop — everyone at home sees it's taken care of.

The one line we don't cross
ClaimBell shows the signals people choose to send — a claim, a confirmation, a done. It never shows what we could observe behind their backs.
"The pressure lands on the job: this job is still unclaimed. Never on the person."
Email delivery begins only after consent from the recipient themselves, from their own private link. Every email keeps an unsubscribe action; opening a link never becomes family-visible read status.
Every platform ships recurring reminders and a shared checklist. What separates them is what happens after the reminder lands. So here is one evening, run four ways, with the same family each time.
Thursday, 6:40pm
Dad's blood-pressure refill runs out on Sunday. Maya is still at work. Five people could pick it up: her brother and his wife on iPhones, two cousins on Android, and Grandma, who has a phone and no apps on it.
With ClaimBellEmail · app
Maya makes the job and bells it. Installed family gets push; Grandma gets an email carrying the same secure action link. She sees one line — Dad's refill, Sunday — and taps Claim. She never registers or pays. Had nobody claimed it, the next reminder would have gone to the family rather than back to Maya.
With a big-name family organizerCozi · FamilyWall · TimeTree
Maya makes the job, then waits on five installs. Four of them happen. Grandma can be emailed, but on Cozi's free tier that message arrives read-only: she can see the refill and cannot say she'll get it. So the job sits in a list, visible to whoever opens the app, which by Sunday is Maya.
With the phone's built-in remindersApple · Google · Alexa
Maya assigns it. Apple's own support page states that an assigned reminder does not alert the person you assigned it to. The two Android phones were never in the list to be assigned from. Alexa+ will follow up until it is confirmed, but only ever with Maya, because there is no hand-off to anyone else. In the audit we ran in July 2026, roughly 20% of split-platform families like this one were covered end to end; households where everyone is on the same ecosystem reached about 60%.
With the group chatStatus quo · do nothing
Maya types it at 11pm. Three people are asleep, one is driving, and Grandma is not in the thread. On Saturday she asks again. On Sunday she collects it herself. Nothing failed, because nothing was ever a system — only one person's memory, doing the work every week.
Compared against the five first-party reminder platforms and the largest family organizers we audited in July 2026. The three other routes describe how those products work today, not any company's roadmap. Apple's assignment behaviour is quoted from its own support page (support.apple.com/en-us/105124, updated 27 May 2026). The ~20% and ~60% coverage figures come from that same internal audit, not a published study. ClaimBell is pre-launch — nothing on this page is a customer result.
Pricing
A subscription covers the whole family space, not each member. The people you remind never register, never pay, never see a limit.
No card, no expiry. What ships free stays free.
14-day free trial, then $39.00 a year. Cancel any time through day 14 and pay nothing.
Same Pro features as yearly. Billed each month.
If you start the yearly trial
Cancelling is one path and it always finishes: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → ClaimBell → Cancel Subscription. Pro then runs to the end of the period you already paid for, and nothing is deleted after that. Apple or Google takes the payment. ClaimBell never sees or stores your card.
Purchase is via the App Store or Google Play on iOS/Android, and those stores are the payment processor. ClaimBell never sees or stores your card. Every member sees the same family entitlement. Prices are fixed per release. We don't run price experiments. Refunds are handled by the store that charged you. If Pro lapses, nothing is deleted or locked: every record stays editable on Free with one App reminder; extra stages and email action-link delivery pause.
Questions
No. The organizer and co-editors use the iOS or Android app. Everyone else — grandparents included — receives an email with a secure link and taps to confirm, claim, or mark done. They never register or pay, and every message carries a working unsubscribe link.
Days (birthdays, anniversaries) are remembered, and they're never "completed". Jobs (bills, document renewals, appointments, chores) end in done: someone claims them, finishes them, and the whole family sees the status. A job can also be created with no owner, so it sits on the unclaimed list until someone picks it up.
Yes: 1 family space, unlimited editable records, and 1 App reminder per record. A capability that ships free stays free; Pro adds up to 3 reminder stages and email action links for family without the app.
Yes. The Chinese lunar calendar, including leap-month rules, is a first-class feature. ClaimBell always shows you the actual Gregorian date a lunar birthday falls on, so "Grandma's lunar 7/15" becomes a concrete, correctly scheduled day. Try the lunar birthday converter — no account needed.
Refunds come from the store that took the money, not from us. Apple and Google don't let a developer refund a purchase directly. On iOS, request one at reportaproblem.apple.com; on Android, Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Budget & history → the order → Report a problem. Both usually answer within 48 hours. Two things that make this rarer: the yearly plan starts with 14 free days so you can decide before any charge, and if you cancel after being charged, Pro still runs to the end of the period you paid for. If a store refuses a request you think is fair, write to us and we'll say so in writing to support your case.
Nothing is deleted or locked. Pro runs to the end of the period you paid for. After that every record stays editable on Free with one App reminder each; extra reminder stages and email action-link delivery pause. Manage cancellation in the store that took the payment. We never raise the price on an existing subscriber.
A real person reads this address — usually the one who built the thing you're asking about. Answers land within a working day.
