In a meeting, you think "let me send that in 15 minutes" — but you don't have time for a multi-tap setup, so you set nothing and actually forget. The stock Reminders app takes four steps: open → tap + → pick a list → enter date and time. It's quietly long. And the notification gets buried with everything else — next thing you know, an hour's gone by. Knock Reminder exists to kill both of those: the hassle of setting a reminder, and the pain of missing it. For you if: You tend to say "later" and never actually set anything because the standard app is too much friction. Or you've been burned by missing a notification before. What it does: Pick from your own 16 custom presets and set a reminder in 3 taps. Repeats cover daily, weekly, monthly, yearly — weekly lets you toggle individual weekdays, so "just Monday, Wednesday, Friday" is one setting. Tap the notification and it switches instantly to a full-screen alert in your theme color — big clock, big name. No more losing it in the banner pile. Done, +15 min, or +1 hour, right there. We cut the seconds it takes to set one.
