Simply Remind Me works with the concept of “events” and “reminders.”

=== Events ===
An event is anything you want to be reminded about. It occurs on a given date (for example, a birthday) and can optionally be given a specific time (for example, an appointment.)

Note: an event’s date (and time) does not effect the date and time you receive reminders.

Examples:

* A birthday
* A wedding anniversary
* Taking medication or a pill
* A customer’s appointment
* A doctor’s appointment
* A car’s MOT, tax or insurance renewal

=== Reminders ===
A reminder is an email, text message or phone call you receive at a specified date and time to remind you of an event.

A reminder is always linked to an event and an event can have multiple reminders with different methods.

For example: you might want an email reminder a month before your car insurance is due, and a text message a week before. In this case, “renew my car insurance” is the event with its date set to the expiry date of your insurance. The email is a reminder for that event with its date and time set to a month before the event’s date (the insurance’s expiry date) and the text message is another reminder for the same event with its date and time set to a week before the event’s date.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Dashboard}}
The Dashboard is the main screen you see when you log in to Simply Remind Me.

The top part of the dashboard features 3 static "widgets".

The bottom part of the dashboard shows your upcoming reminders in your queue.

== Widgets ==
The below 3 static widgets are provided to all users.

=== The time is now ===
This widget shows what Simply Remind Me believes is the current, local time in your timezone. To ensure you receive your reminders on time, this time should be correct.

If this time is incorrect, please click the Change timezone link in the widget and adjust your timezone accordingly.

=== Next upcoming event ===
This widget shows the next upcoming event in your calendar and the date it is due.

The widget includes a link to go directly to the event’s page and a link to create a new event.

=== Reminder credit balance ===
This widget shows the number of remaining credits you have available to send text message reminders and phone call reminders.

The widget includes a link to buy more credits and to configure your alert settings when your credit balance is low.

== Your reminder queue ==
The bottom part of the dashboard shows a section called “Your reminder queue.”

This shows the reminders that are queued to send to you next. If an event has multiple reminders, you will see each individual reminder in this section.

Each reminder shows you the following details:

* '''Event''' - the event the reminder is for
* '''Destination''' - the email address or phone number the reminder will be sent to
* '''Date & time''' - the date and time the reminder will be sent
* '''Status''' - an icon showing the status of the reminder (will typically be “queued”.)

Solid Tools:SPF Record Analyser

{{DISPLAYTITLE:SPF Record Analyser}}
SPF records indicate what servers (IP addresses) are allowed to send mail for a domain.

== About the SPF Record Analyser tool ==
To reduce spammers from sending e-mail that appears to come from your domain (known as e-mail spoofing) you can publish an SPF record to your domain name's DNS records.

An SPF record tells receiving mail servers which servers are explicitly allowed to send e-mail that comes from your domain name.

It is strongly recommended you publish an SPF record to prevent e-mail spoofing. You can use the SPF Record Analyser to validate your record applies the rules you expect.

== Use Cases ==
Use the SPF Record Analyser tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* Check if your SPF record is published in DNS
* Check your SPF record is valid and allows the servers you expect
* Validate a record before you publish it in DNS

== Usage ==
If you wish to test a live SPF record, enter the domain name the SPF record belongs to in the "Domain name to check" field.

If you wish to test a record before publishing it, enter the content of the record in the "SPF record text" field.

== Results ==
Whichever option you have chosen, the results will be the same.

The actual SPF record analysed will be displayed, followed by a breakdown of the servers that are present in the SPF record, and an indication of whether they are authorised to send e-mails on behalf of the domain.

The example below shows the analysis of the SPF record for simplyremind.me. This record imports the SPF rules from the amazonses.com domain, which in turn allows the following IP addresses to send e-mails addressed from @simplyremind.me: 199.255.192.0/22, 199.127.232.0/22 and 54.240.0.0/18.

Solid Tools:Domain WHOIS Lookup

2026-02-21T08:57:56Z

AndyHeathershaw:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Domain WHOIS Lookup}}
"Whois" is a tool on Unix and Linux servers that queries WHOIS servers for ownership of domains, IP addresses and networks.

== About the Domain WHOIS Lookup tool ==
Computers use the Domain Name System (or DNS for short) to convert human-readable domain names (e.g. '''soliddevtools.com''') into an IPv4 address (e.g. '''109.228.50.239''') or an IPv6 address (e.g. '''2a00:da00:1800:15a::1''').

You can perform a query known as "WHOIS" to identify which organisation a domain name belongs to.

== Use Cases ==
Use the Domain WHOIS tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* Identify which organisation is responsible for a domain name
* Find out who to contact about a domain name

== Usage ==
Enter a domain name (without the "www") in the "domain name" field.

== Results ==
The raw output from the WHOIS database will be displayed.

The following example shows a WHOIS lookup for '''soliddevtools.com'''.

"Whois" is a tool on Unix and Linux servers that queries WHOIS servers for ownership of domains, IP addresses and networks.

== About the Domain WHOIS Lookup tool ==
Computers use the Domain Name System (or DNS for short) to convert human-readable domain names (e.g. '''soliddevtools.com''') into an IPv4 address (e.g. '''109.228.50.239''') or an IPv6 address (e.g. '''2a00:da00:1800:15a::1''').

You can perform a query known as "WHOIS" to identify which organisation a domain name belongs to.

== Use Cases ==
Use the Domain WHOIS tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* Identify which organisation is responsible for a domain name
* Find out who to contact about a domain name

== Usage ==
Enter a domain name (without the "www") in the "domain name" field.

== Results ==
The raw output from the WHOIS database will be displayed.

The following example shows a WHOIS lookup for '''soliddevtools.com'''.

Solid Tools:Dig

2026-02-21T08:57:04Z

AndyHeathershaw:

"Dig" is a tool on Unix and Linux servers that queries the Domain Name System for DNS records.

== About the Dig tool ==
Computers use the Domain Name System (or DNS for short) to convert human-readable domain names (e.g. www.soliddevtools.com) into an IPv4 address (e.g. '''109.228.50.239''') or an IPv6 address (e.g. '''2a00:da00:1800:15a::1''').

DNS records also store information about the millions of domains and websites that are on the Internet - such as an approved list of servers that can send mail on your domain's behalf (known as SPF records.)

== Use Cases ==
Use the Dig tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* Find the IP address of a website
* Check if a DNS record exists
* Check if a change made in DNS has been published

== Usage ==
Enter a DNS record you wish to query in the "Domain name/record" field - e.g. '''www.google.com'''.

If you wish to query a specific DNS server, enter it's hostname or IP address in the "DNS server" field. If you don't know what this is, leave it as '''localhost'''.

Select the type of record you would like to query. For example: to find the IP address of a domain name, use the query type '''A (IP address).'''

By default, Solid Tools for Developers will use its own DNS server to return your results. This may include cached data if the record was recently queried. To force the use of "live" data, tick the "Trace" option.

== Results ==
The complete output from the "Dig" tool will be displayed.

The "flags" line at the top will include a line like '''QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 4'''. The figure next to '''ANSWER''' will tell you how many results were found.

The results themselves will be displayed under the section labelled ''';; ANSWER SECTION'''.

The following example shows a successful query to find the IPv4 address of '''www.google.com''':
<pre>; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Ubuntu <<>> @localhost www.google.com A
; (2 servers found)
;; global options: +cmd

Solid Tools:IP WHOIS Lookup

2026-02-21T08:56:11Z

AndyHeathershaw:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:IP WHOIS Lookup}}
"Whois" is a tool on Unix and Linux servers that queries WHOIS servers for ownership of domains, IP addresses and networks.

== About the IP WHOIS Lookup tool ==
All computers or servers on the Internet have an IP address. IP addresses are allocated to organisations in blocks of contiguous addresses, who then allocate ranges within their allocation to their customers.

You can perform a query known as "WHOIS" to identify which organisation an IP address is allocated to.

== Use Cases ==
Use the IP WHOIS tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* Identify which organisation is responsible for an IP address
* Find out contacts to report abuse or technical problems with an IP address

== Usage ==
Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address in the "IP address" field.

Optionally select a regional WHOIS server to send your query to.

== Results ==
The raw output from the WHOIS database will be displayed.

The following example shows a WHOIS lookup for '''2a00:da00:1800:15a::6''' - the IPv6 address of the Solid Tools for Developers web application.

Solid Tools:AS Network WHOIS Lookup

2026-02-21T08:55:52Z

AndyHeathershaw:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:AS Network WHOIS Lookup}}
AS (autonomous systems) are individual networks that, together, make up the global Internet as we know it.

== About the AS Network WHOIS Lookup tool ==
Network packets (traffic) are transmitted over the Internet by traversing multiple networks run by different organisations - known as Autonomous Networks. Each of these organisations is assigned a number for their network, known as an ASN (Autonomous System Number.)

Each network peers with other networks, sharing the AS numbers of the networks they peer with.

You can perform a query known as "WHOIS" to identify which organisation operates a particular AS network.

== Use Cases ==
Use the AS Network WHOIS tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* Identify which organisation is responsible for an ASN
* Find out contacts to report abuse or technical problems with an ASN

== Usage ==
Enter an ASN in the "AS Number" field.

Optionally select a regional WHOIS server to send your query to.

== Results ==
The raw output from the WHOIS database will be displayed.

The following example shows a WHOIS lookup for '''AS15418''', the AS number allocated to Fasthosts - the company and data centre that hosts the server running Solid Tools for Developers.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:What Is My IP Address}}
Identify what IP address your device is using to access the Internet.

== About the What Is My IP Address? tool ==
All computers or servers on the Internet have an IP address. The What Is My IP Address tool tells you what IP address your current device is using to access the Internet.

== Use Cases ==
Use the What Is My IP tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* See what public IP address your device is using to connect to the Internet
* Check if your network supports IPv6 connectivity
* Check if your traffic is being routed through a corporate VPN

== Usage ==
Simply run the What Is My IP tool and it will tell you what IP address(es) have been detected on your device.

== What is an IP address? ==
An IP address is an "address" for any device that is connected to a network - a computer, phone, tablet or even a smart fridge. It's how the Internet knows where to send your web pages, email and streaming music, in the same way a postal address tells your mail-person where to deliver your mail.

There are 2 types of IP address currently in widespread use today - IPv4 (the most common) and IPv6 (a newer standard for an ever-expanding Internet.)

=== IPv4 ===
IPv4 addresses are four groups of between 1 and 3 digits, separated by dots.

For example, the server that runs Solid Tools for Developers has the IPv4 address: '''109.228.50.239'''.

=== IPv6 ===
IPv6 addresses are longer than IPv4 and contain letters as well as numbers. IPv6 networks can accommodate a significantly larger number of devices than IPv4 networks and are growing in popularity.

For example, the server that runs Solid Tools for Developers has the IPv6 address: '''2a00:da00:1800:15a::1'''.

Solid Tools:Traceroute

2026-02-21T08:54:36Z

AndyHeathershaw:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Traceroute}}
Track how packets traverse the Internet.

== About the Trace Route tool ==
Network packets traverse the global Internet by "hopping" from one router to another.

Every router knows where it needs to send a packet next to reach its destination, by using routing tables that are dynamically shared across the Internet.

Examining the hops a packet takes to reach its destination can give an indication of where a fault lies.

== Use Cases ==
Use the Trace Route tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* See the path a packet takes from the Solid Tools for Developers server to an IP address
* Find out where a fault may lie in reaching your IP address from an external network

== Usage ==
Enter a hostname, IPv4 or IPv6 address in the "Hostname or IP address" field.

To trace the route to a server if you don't know its IP address, enter its hostname (e.g. '''www.google.com''') and select whether to use an IPv4 or IPv6 connection. If you select IPv6, the hostname must have an IPv6 (AAAA) DNS record.

To trace the route to a server using its IPv4 address, enter the IP address and ensure the IPv4 option is selected.

To trace the route to a server using its IPv6 address, enter the IP address and ensure the IPv6 option is selected.

== Results ==
The raw output from the "mtr" command will be displayed. The following example shows a traceroute to '''www.google.com'''.

Each line represents another "hop" in the packet's journey.

Hop number 1 is the Solid Tools for Developers server's upstream router. The final hop is the last known position of the packet, which will be the final destination if the trace successful reached the target.

The time displayed is a cumulative elapsed time from when the packet was transmitted.

Check if a port on your device is open to the Internet (or not.)

== About the Open Port Checker tool ==
Most Internet-based applications, such as websites, communicate using a TCP/IP endpoint - that is, an IP address and port number.

If a remote computer cannot connect to your application or website's port number, it will be unable to use it.

Ports can be blocked using hardware- or software-based firewalls, which can restrict access conditionally based on the IP address or machine that is trying to connect.

== Use Cases ==
Use the Open Port Checker tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* See if your application's port can be accessed from the Internet
* Check if your firewall is correctly blocking an unknown IP address

== Usage ==
Enter a hostname, IPv4 or IPv6 address in the "Hostname or IP address" field.

To connect to a server if you don't know its IP address, enter its hostname (e.g. '''www.google.com''') and select whether to use an IPv4 or IPv6 connection. If you select IPv6, the hostname must have an IPv6 (AAAA) DNS record.

To connect to a server using its IPv4 address, enter the IP address and ensure the IPv4 option is selected.

To connect to a server using its IPv6 address, enter the IP address and ensure the IPv6 option is selected.

Select one of the common TCP/IP port numbers from the list, or enter your own port number to connect to.

== Results ==
A successful connection will be displayed in '''green'''. This means the Solid Tools for Developers was successfully able to connect to the port - the port is open.

A failed connection will be displayed in '''red'''. This means the Solid Tools for Developers was unable to connect to the port - the port is either blocked or the application is not listening.

Solid Tools:Ping

2026-02-21T08:48:37Z

AndyHeathershaw:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Ping}}
Ping is a mechanism for checking if a host (IP address) is alive and responding.

== About the Ping tool ==
All computers or servers on the Internet have an IP address. "Pinging" this IP address is the quickest way to check if you can reach a particular computer, server or router.

If you are unable to ping an IP address, it may mean the computer or server is turned off, or another network problem is preventing you from accessing it.

== Use Cases ==
Use the Ping tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* See if an IP address can be reached from the Internet
* Check if your local firewall is blocking ping requests (ICMP traffic)
* Eliminate your own network from being at fault during your investigations

== Usage ==
Enter a hostname, IPv4 or IPv6 address in the "Hostname or IP address" field.

To ping a server if you don't know its IP address, enter its hostname (e.g. '''www.google.com''') and select whether to use an IPv4 or IPv6 connection for the ping. If you select IPv6, the hostname must have an IPv6 (AAAA) DNS record.

To ping a server using its IPv4 address, enter the IP address and ensure the IPv4 option is selected.

To ping a server using its IPv6 address, enter the IP address and ensure the IPv6 option is selected.

The ping tool will send 4 packets to the destination address you provided.

== Results ==
A successful ping result will be displayed in '''green'''. The following example shows a successful ping result to www.google.com.

You can see that 4 packets were transmitted, and all 4 had a response back from www.google.com - resulting in no packet loss.

<pre>PING www.google.com (172.217.26.196) 56(84) bytes of data.

A failed ping result will be displayed in red. The following example shows a failed result to the unrouteable IP address 10.100.1.2.

You can see that out of 4 packets transmitted, not a single response was received.

Solid Tools:AS Network WHOIS Lookup

2026-02-21T08:44:45Z

AndyHeathershaw:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:AS Network WHOIS Lookup}}
AS (autonomous systems) are individual networks that, together, make up the global Internet as we know it.

=== About the AS Network WHOIS Lookup tool ===
Network packets (traffic) are transmitted over the Internet by traversing multiple networks run by different organisations - known as Autonomous Networks. Each of these organisations is assigned a number for their network, known as an ASN (Autonomous System Number.)

Each network peers with other networks, sharing the AS numbers of the networks they peer with.

You can perform a query known as "WHOIS" to identify which organisation operates a particular AS network.

=== Use Cases ===
Use the AS Network WHOIS tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* Identify which organisation is responsible for an ASN
* Find out contacts to report abuse or technical problems with an ASN

=== Usage ===
Enter an ASN in the "AS Number" field.
