What is Remind?

Remind is a messaging platform designed primarily for educational settings, allowing teachers, administrators, and parents to communicate through group chats. The tool focuses on keeping school communities connected by combining messaging with file sharing and customisable chat windows. It operates on a freemium model, making basic group communication accessible without cost whilst offering paid features for schools wanting additional functionality. The platform emphasises simplicity and safety, with features designed around the needs of K-12 educational environments rather than general workplace communication.
