Reminder Rosie 2.0

The verdict

Rosie 2.0 is a plug-in reminder clock that records up to 25 personalized voice reminders — in your own voice, a family member's, or any language — and plays them back at the times you set, daily, weekly, by date, or annually. It is voice-activated: say "Hello Reminder Rosie" and ask "what day is it?" or "today's reminders," and Rosie answers.

Reminder Rosie 2.0 — about $149.99 at the Alzheimer's Store · star rating unverified in our research · Blind pick (no sight needed) — the voice-controlled reminder clock that speaks your medication reminders in a familiar voice, for anyone who needs to hear "time for your morning pills" in a voice they trust.

When a reminder plays, you press down on Rosie or say "Rosie, stop" to end it. It needs no Wi-Fi and charges no fees, shows the time in amber 2-inch LED digits, runs on AC power with a 3 AAA battery backup so reminders keep playing through an outage, and weighs 2 pounds.

Blind details

For a blind user, Rosie is the simplest reminder in this batch: there is no screen to read, no app to open, and no pill sorting — you hear a familiar voice telling you what to do, and you answer it by speaking or by pressing the whole clock down. The guided voice setup walks the caregiver through programming by speaking, and the end user only ever needs the one press. A reminder in a loved one's voice is also the most likely to be obeyed — research Rosie cites finds familiar-voice reminders deliver the most sustained medication adherence — which is the whole point of the device.

Support: Reachable by phone and email — SiMPL Technology at 1-833-237-4675 ext. 1 or support@smpltec.com.

Honest caveats: Rosie reminds, it does not dispense or track — it cannot tell whether you actually took the pill, so pair it with a pill organizer if double-dosing is a risk. The price varies by seller: $149.99 at the Alzheimer's Store in October 2026, against a $199.99 list price, so confirm before ordering. Each recorded reminder is 6 seconds, so keep messages short, and the clock is a countertop device — it does not travel with you the way the CADEX reminder watch does.
