The checkup you keep postponing

Reminders to schedule overdue checkups and appointments, tracked until they actually happen.

Preventive care runs on intention: the annual physical that is now biennial, the dentist cleaning eighteen months ago, the eye exam from a previous decade.

Nothing is technically wrong, so nothing forces the appointment. The reminder letter gets recycled and the years accumulate.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

This routine tracks your overdue health appointments and nudges you to schedule them: checkups, cleanings, screenings, all the maintenance a body needs.

It keeps the list current and the nudge regular, until the appointment exists in reality instead of intention.

Every month remind me of any health checkups or appointments I'm due for

VS. CHAT SKILLS

Why not just use a skill?

A Claude skill or a ChatGPT skill can approximate this -- if you remember to ask. Copy in your calendar, paste the thread, wait, then carry the answer back out of the chat tab.

Littlebird already has the context: your meetings, your inbox, your calendar, and what was on your screen. The routine runs on schedule whether you remember or not.

Same idea, no choreography. The output lands in your Gmail or your task list instead of a chat window you have to babysit.

FAQ

Is this medical tracking?

It tracks appointments, not health data -- whether the checkup happened, not what it found.

How does it know what is overdue?

From your calendar history and the cadences you set in the prompt.

Will it book for me?

It nags; you book. The phone call remains a human art form.

What if my machine runs Windows?

Littlebird runs on macOS today; a Windows edition is planned and its waitlist lives on the site.

What about a PC release?

The app is Mac-only at present. Windows users can register on the site's waitlist to be first in line.
