## What is Remindfulness?

As featured in Cosmopolitan.

Life moves fast, and most of it slips by on autopilot. Remindfulness sends gentle reminders throughout your day to pause, breathe, come back to the present, and remember who you really are.

These aren't generic wellness tips. The reminders included draw on a wealth of non-denominational spiritual teachings, the perennial wisdom found at the heart of every tradition yet belonging to none: presence, gratitude, surrender, compassion, and reconnection with your Source. Each one has been distilled into a practice simple enough to do in a few moments, in the middle of anything. If you walk a spiritual path, whatever its shape, these reminders will feel like coming home.

You have learned so many ways to reconnect with your Source, to bring your attention to the Present Moment... If only you could remember to do them throughout your busy day! Remindfulness is designed to run quietly in the background and gently call you back to your truth throughout your waking hours. This extends spiritual practice beyond isolated periods of meditation or contemplation. Woven into the fabric of your day, it can become a real way of life.

Over a hundred simple yet powerful practices have been created so that you can perform them easily, in the space of no more than a few moments, often without having to physically move or even close your eyes: a breath received with gratitude, a blessing silently sent, a question that dissolves the mind's chatter, a return to the awareness behind your thoughts. This makes them easy to do the moment they appear on your screen, no matter what else you might be in the middle of. And even when you can't read a reminder right away, for example while driving or in a meeting, the simple awareness of its arrival can be your prompt to spend the next five minutes being as present as possible.

FEATURES

- Over 100 beautiful practice reminders.
- 26 unique alert sounds, plus a Random option.
- Time reminders to arrive at regular intervals, or choose random timing and how many arrive within your chosen time frame.
- Custom reminder editor for writing your own. Then tell the app to use ours, yours, or a mixture of both.
- NEW: Import a whole list of your own reminders at once. Paste a column from a spreadsheet, or a list from your notes, one per line.
- NEW: Back up your reminders with a tap, then restore them any time through Import.
- Auto suspend and resume sleeps the app overnight and wakes it with you in the morning.
- Sound on or off at a touch, and share any reminder with loved ones via email or text message.

Customization lets you shape how Remindfulness works for you. Choose whether reminders arrive with an alert tone, and which one. Choose random timing, and how many reminders you'd like, or pick a regular interval that suits your rhythm. Suspend the app while you sleep, without quitting it, and reminders resume by themselves in the morning.

You can also write your own reminders and save them in a list, and now bring a whole list in at once, or back your list up for safekeeping. Tell the app to draw from your reminders exclusively, not at all, or shuffled in with ours via the Yours, Ours, and All options.

NOTE: For the best experience, allow notifications for Remindfulness in your device's Settings > Notifications, and open a reminder from time to time; iOS quietly pauses notifications from apps whose alerts are never viewed.

Please enjoy Remindfulness. I created it to help me, throughout my day, to return joyfully to the present moment. I hope it will help you do the same.

Remindfulness... Helping you remember to be mindful

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2026-08-11, version 3.0*

Thank you so much for updating this brilliant app. It is very much needed in today’s world.

### 5/5 — Does what I wanted it to

*2025-09-02, version 2.3*

The App reminds me to be conscious around the day. And it has some cool ideas how to do it which I didn’t think about. Love it, thx.

### 5/5 — Fantastisch

*2023-02-11, version 2.3*

Eine sehr gute app. Nach langer Suche habe ich es endlich gefunden. Es hat genau die Funktionen die ich gebraucht habe. Eigene Erinnerungen schreiben und mich immer wieder daran erinnern zu lassen. Perfekt!

### 1/5 — No sound

*2022-11-21, version 2.3*

The random reminders show up as notifications just fine, but there is no sound to alert me, even though all the settings are turned on. Kind of useless.

### 5/5 — Increíble

*2022-06-21, version 2.3*

Es una excelente aplicación para recordar lo que quieras. Yo la uso solo para mis propias afirmaciones, tengo más de un año usándola. Lamentablemente cuando inactivas los recordatorios y los quieres volver a activar la aplicación tarda 1 día completo para procesar el comando, además creo que ya es hora de agregar más sonidos. No he conseguido una aplicación tan buena como esta a pesar de haber bajado al menos 10 y ninguna me da lo que busco. Desarrollador, no abandones la aplicación por favor.

### 2/5 — Does not use my reminders

*2022-06-20, version 2.3*

The documentation advertises I can use my custom reminder text “exclusively”.

Well no.  It’s not designed to do that.

No matter what configuration of text list you are allowed to use,  the application *requires* you use “All” along with either “Theirs” or “Yours”.  My results have been that even though I’ve configured settings to include “my” texts, I have yet to see any of my own.

The stated intention of the application is an important one, and I was eager to integrate it into my day.  It always seems that working on myself is easier than remembering to work on myself, and that “alarm clocks” are necessary.

My own reminders work with the tradition I follow, and these are my “alarm clocks”.  The only texts this application references suggest elongated exercises that require more focused time than just a reminder should take.

### 5/5 — Great app, works great on my Apple Watch

*2020-11-29, version 2.3*

No matter what spiritual or personal growth practice you are working on, using this app will automatically foster immediate and discernible results. The thorniest issue with our highest intentions is bringing them out of the quiet garden of our practice space and into the unpredictable hurly-burly of daily life. Remindfulness elegantly and simply solves that problem. 

The app gives you the option of creating your own reminders/affirmations/pointers and then randomly - you set how often one appears - you get the message, on phone or Apple Watch. It’s incredibly powerful to get a self-created message of wisdom or hope or empowerment and have it pop up when you’re being cut off in traffic, or doing the dishes, or watching The Crown. 

This is an app that I have been waiting for. It’s a game-changer if you want to be supported in breaking old patterns and creating and reinforcing positive beliefs and behaviors. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Remindfulness in the Palm of your Hand

*2020-11-07, version 2.3*

Beautiful, soothing in app sounds accompanied by on pointe messages to enable you to connect to source, in the most delightful ways!

Simply awesomely awesome, with gratitude, thank you 💛

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2020-08-05, version 2.3*

Too spammy with ads for a simple utility

### 2/5 — Sound isn’t working.

*2020-08-01, version 2.3*

I’m looking for an app that periodically plays a gentle sound to remind me to be mindful.

I don’t want text reminders. Just a simple sound. But I could put up with text reminders if the sound worked. Unfortunately, even though I have sounds turned on, I hear nothing.
