The Barzaman bot on Telegram (@barzamanbot) and Bale is a real assistant: it saves tasks, shows today’s plan and delivers reminders with Done and Snooze buttons. Every change made in the bot shows up on all your devices right away.
Linking the bot
- In Barzaman open Settings → Account → Sign-in & security → Bots & integrations.
- Tap Connect next to Telegram or Bale. The messenger opens with a Start button; tap it.
- The bot confirms the link. If the messenger is not on this device, send the 8-character code to the bot instead (valid for 15 minutes).
Adding a task with one message
Write it the way you’d tell a friend, in English, Persian or Arabic:
- “Midterm Wednesday 9am remind me”
- “Buy bread tomorrow evening #home”
- “Gym every Saturday 6pm remind me 30 minutes before”
Any #hashtag in the message becomes a tag. The bot shows the parsed title, date, time and reminders, with Undo, Done, +1 hour, Move to tomorrow and Open in Barzaman buttons.
