daily-dispatch

A small SMS service that texts you what you need to hear.

Affirmations on the days you need them. Reminders on the days you forget. Pageant prep cues, water nudges, supplement timing, LSAT study check-ins. A working personal-infrastructure project built around one principle: the right text at the right moment is more effective than any app you have to open.

What it will do

• Send scheduled SMS messages to a single recipient (the owner)
• Pull from configurable content libraries (affirmations, prep cues, reminders)
• Schedule per-library cadence (e.g., affirmations daily at 7am, water nudges every 2 hours during work, LSAT check-ins weekday evenings)
• Allow inbound replies to log mood / completion / streak
• Vary message wording so the texts don't become wallpaper

What it will NOT do

• Send marketing
• Connect to other humans
• Store anything beyond what's necessary to function

This is a one-user tool, by design.

Planned stack

Python · Twilio Programmable Messaging · Supabase (cron + storage) · GitHub Actions (scheduler) · .env for secrets

Why it lives here

Personal infrastructure deserves to be built in public. The README ships first. The working version ships when it's ready.

Status

Pending. README is the spec; implementation in progress.
