I built a simple task reminder app called Remnio.

Like a lot of people, I forget things almost immediately unless something keeps reminding me. I originally built this just for myself and figured it might be useful to share.

It’s different from Apple Reminders because it only focuses on today and tomorrow. Nothing lives in a list forever. When midnight hits, today’s tasks expire and tomorrow’s automatically become today.

This came from real life. My wife would ask things like “can you remember to do the laundry today” or “don’t forget to give the dogs a bath tomorrow.” I’d genuinely mean to do it and then completely forget.

You pick a work window and it sends reminders at random times during that window. One could be at 1:00, the next at 1:38, then later at 6:23. There’s no pattern, you can’t silence them, and the reminders only stop once all tasks for that day are completed.

I also added a stats feature that tracks completions and streaks so you can actually see how consistent you are over time. It does require an account for that, mostly so stats sync across devices.

The whole idea is to use the thing people are already glued to. If I’m already on my phone all day, it might as well remind me.

Curious if this would help anyone else or if it’s just how my brain works.


I built a reminder app for people who forget things five minutes later…
