Simple, frequent alerts scheduled to remind you of repetitive tasks throughout the day (or week). Set beautiful, easy to understand reminders using natural language. Want to be reminded to regularly stand up and move? Be alerted to drink water every day? Take walks on weekends? Or call Mom on Sunday? Echo was born out of necessity. Echo is the perfect blend between an alarm app and a habits app, enabling you to take care of yourself on a daily basis. We are all aware of the things we need to take care of every day, but we frequently forget about the small things that are meant to improve the quality of life. That's where Echo comes in, reminding you to relax from time to time, go for a walk, do some exercises, eat a meal, drink some water, etc. In the end, it's all about developing healthy and mindful habits. Echo can be used for a lot of things, but our main goal was to encourage our users to remember the smaller things in life that can help if done regularly. You can set up reminders as frequently as every 10 minutes, have them start at a particular time or after you launch Echo, and repeat until an end time or until a number of cycles is reached. You can have echoes repeat every day, on weekdays, on weekends, or setup your own custom day frequency. Track how frequently you perform an action from the “Stats” screen and measure your performance. Echo is free to download and supports three simultaneous reminders (echoes) without unlocking. Customize your echoes further with our unique sound pack and add some fun to your reminders.
