HeyTim.

Transactional authentication

SMS verification program

SMS sign-in is not available in the current HeyTim beta. Sign-in and account creation use email verification. HeyTim is not sending sign-in texts or collecting SMS sign-in consent in this release.

HeyTim is an independent software product operated by Timothy Moreton. It helps individuals and groups organize conversations, decisions, and useful files. The proposed SMS program below is for optional, user-requested passwordless sign-in and account verification if phone sign-in becomes available. It would not send promotional or marketing text messages.

Planned program: HeyTim one-time passcodes
Message frequency if launched: One message per login attempt; frequency varies
Customer care: Reply HELP for help or visit https://heytim.ai/sms/
Opt out: Reply STOP

Proposed opt-in flow

This flow is not in the current app. If SMS sign-in becomes available:

  1. A user would choose phone-number sign-in or account creation in HeyTim.
  2. The user would enter a US mobile number.
  3. The user would affirmatively select a separate, unchecked SMS consent checkbox before requesting a code.
  4. HeyTim would send one verification code for that login attempt.

Email sign-in is currently available. A phone number and SMS consent are not required to use HeyTim.

Proposed example, not a current app screen

Enter your mobile number and we’ll send a six-digit verification code. No password needed.

Mobile phone number
+1 (201) 555-0123

I agree to receive HeyTim one-time passcode and verification texts at the mobile number provided. One message per login attempt; message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of purchase. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Proposed message examples

“HeyTim: Your verification code is [code]. It expires in 10 minutes. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.”

“HeyTim: [code] is your sign-in code. Expires in 10 min. Do not share. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.”

STOP and HELP

If the SMS program launches, reply STOP to opt out. For US toll-free messages, the carrier blocks future messages after STOP. Text START or UNSTOP to the sending number to re-enable future verification messages. Reply HELP for customer-care information.
