Reminder
A simple reminder tool that alerts you at a fixed interval, every day, on selected weekdays, or at a specific date and time. It runs on a single screen.
What it does
Use it so you never forget to drink water, take a break, take medication, or miss a meeting or deadline. When a reminder is due, a notification (toast) pops up on screen.
How to use
Everything happens on one screen. When you add a reminder you pick one of four types:
- At a fixed interval: Fires every N minutes or hours (e.g. drink water every 45 minutes).
- Every day: Fires at the time you set, every day (e.g. take vitamins at 8 AM daily).
- On weekdays: Fires on the days and time you select (e.g. Monday and Wednesday at 9 AM).
- At a specific date and time: Fires once (e.g. send the report on June 15 at 3 PM).
On first launch a few sample entries are shown as examples. They start disabled, so you can enable the ones you want or delete them.
