Texting Tuck is included on Pro, Tucker, and Founder. You can verify a supported phone number and text your thoughts to Tuck.

Set it up

Open Settings → Ingest & reminders, enter your mobile number, agree to the SMS consent checkbox, and request a verification code. Enter the six-digit code Tuck sends you. Use the Tuck number shown in Settings. If a memorable label appears beside it, Copy still copies the dialable number. After verification, texts from that phone can be routed to your Tuck account.

Use SMS naturally

Send the thought as a normal text. Actionable messages can become todos, and timed messages can schedule a reminder without Tuck being open. Check SMS countries before setting up your number. UK numbers and the other countries listed under Text in, reminders by email can capture by SMS, with reminders sent to the account email. Other supported countries use text reminders. Days and times in a text, such as Monday or at 3pm, are read in your account time zone. Check it in Account settings if you travel. If Telnyx rejects a send to a +1 number and your account has an email address, Tuck emails the same message there instead. This includes verification codes. It does not cover every undelivered text or failed sends to numbers outside +1.

Opt out and resume

Reply STOP to opt out of SMS, START to resume, or HELP for help. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchase. A STOP applies to the phone number, not only your account. After it:
  • Tuck sends no texts to that number, including verification codes. Text reminders scheduled for it are cancelled, not moved to email.
  • Texts from that number aren’t saved and get no reply. HELP still gets an answer.
  • Removing the number from your account, deleting the account, or adding the number to another account doesn’t lift the opt-out.
To use SMS with that number again, text START from it. If you try to verify a number that has opted out, Tuck asks you to text START first and then try again.

Monthly allowance

Pro, Tucker, and Founder each include 200 SMS segments per calendar month, shared by inbound captures and outbound reminders. Long messages and some characters use multiple segments. Unused segments do not roll over. If SMS is unavailable, check your plan, phone verification, opt-out status, allowance, and region. If you have a paid plan but still see a plan-related error, reopen your account settings and try again. Contact support if it persists. If your account moves to Free, reminders you scheduled by text go to your confirmed account email instead. Reminders cancelled by a STOP reply stay cancelled.

Privacy

SMS is not end-to-end encrypted. Your message passes through the phone network and Tuck’s capture service before an unlocked device encrypts the thought into your vault. Reminder text, timing, and destination remain readable where needed to deliver the reminder.
SMS access depends on your plan and on messaging availability in your region.
