Understands how you talk
“Lunch with Ali next Friday at 1” just works. No date pickers, no dropdowns. If it isn't sure about a time, it asks you to check.
A desktop companion for Windows
A little character lives in the corner of your screen. Tell it what to remember, and it pops up to remind you, right on time.
How it works
If you can send a voice note, you can use Reminder. There's nothing to learn and no forms to fill in.
Talk like you would to a friend. Rather type? That works too. Words like “tomorrow”, “next Friday” or “in 20 minutes” are all fine.
Your character shows you the reminder it heard, with the exact day and time. One click to confirm. Nothing is saved until you say so.
A friendly heads-up 15 minutes before, another at 1 minute, and once more when it's time. Snooze it or tick it off.
Characters
Every character brings their own way of saying it. Hover over one to hear from them, or tap to send them to the desktop above.
Upload any picture with a see-through background (a PNG) and it becomes your character. Add a second picture with its eyes closed and it will even blink.
Features
“Lunch with Ali next Friday at 1” just works. No date pickers, no dropdowns. If it isn't sure about a time, it asks you to check.
Reminders 15 minutes and 1 minute before, then right on time. Change the timings whenever you like.
Click and speak, or type instead. It only listens when you click, never in the background.
Busy? Snooze for 10 minutes. Done already? Tick it off and it stops reminding you.
If your PC was asleep when something was due, it tells you what you missed when you're back.
It won't steal your keyboard while you're working, and if your screen is locked it holds the reminder until you're back.
Your reminders are saved on your computer, not in someone's cloud. No account, no sign-up.
Small, medium or large speech clouds, any character size, and a calm sky-blue dashboard by day or night.
The dashboard
Open it from the tray icon to see what's coming up, type a reminder, or change your character.
Questions
No. Install it, and your character appears in the corner of your screen. Click it and talk. That's the whole thing.
Never. The microphone only switches on after you click your character, and a bar shows you it's listening. Click again or press Stop when you're done.
A Windows 10 or 11 PC. A microphone is optional, since you can always type. To understand what you say, it uses a free AI service called Groq. Getting a free key takes about two minutes, and you paste it into Settings once.
On your own computer. The words you say or type are sent to the AI service only to work out what and when, and your reminder list never leaves your PC.
When you're back, your character tells you what you missed, so nothing quietly disappears.
Yes. In Settings, upload any PNG picture with a transparent background. Your pet, your favourite hero, your own drawing: anything works.
Not yet. Reminder is Windows only for now.
Free for Windows 10 & 11. Set up in about two minutes.
