One text, once, to one friend who's in on it: "…and your sandwich."

What happens
At the time you pick, their phone texts one mutual friend: “I’ve been thinking about you… and your sandwich.” It fires once, ever. It’s text only, with no personal data, and never anything that could read as an emergency. The friend should be in on the joke, or at least the kind of person who’ll find it funny.
Setup
- Open the download on their phone (or AirDrop it over) and tap Add Shortcut.
- While importing, it asks for one mutual friend’s number, someone who’ll laugh. That’s the only person it can ever text. Fill it in before tapping Add Shortcut.
- Long-press it in Shortcuts → All Shortcuts → Rename and call it Daily Helper, so it doesn’t give itself away.
- Shortcuts → Automation → + → Time of Day, pick a time when they’re around, Daily, select Run Immediately, tap Next and choose the shortcut.
- Tap Always Allow for Messages the first time it runs. Don’t test-run it, because the first run sends the text and it never sends again.
Undo
Open Shortcuts → Automation, swipe left on the automation and tap Delete. Then delete the shortcut. It has already sent its one message and won’t send another.
