Our app is the only reminder app thats simpler yet smarter than pen and paper. Do you understand why all the reminder apps, to-do apps and productivity apps are so hard to use and unnecessary advanced? It’s almost like you need to have a to-do for creating the to-do’s! We are about to change that - Say hello to REPOSE! The world’s fastest reminder app? +++++ ”I LOVE THIS APP! It’s so genius and easy to use that it’s hard to describe.” ADD IT AND MOVE ON! Let’s face it. We live in a world full of impressions - even if we don’t want it. We believe that the world DO NOT need another cluttered reminder app that it’s so complicated to use that you give up after a few tries. This is where Repose comes in handy! Add a reminder SUPER FAST (often in less than 2 seconds!) about what you need to be reminded about and move on with what you where doing. Simple as that! THE TRICKY PART WITH REMINDERS We believe the hardest part about remembering stuff is the first step - to get it ”down on paper” - and that’s the reason why we have focused 100% on making it ridiculously easy to use when it comes to writing the reminder! You can use Repose with text only or write the reminder and add a time with our pre-defined time suggestions. Nice, huh? DO YOU HAVE (LESS THAN) 2 SECONDS? Good! Because that’s the time it takes to create a reminder with Repose. With inspiration from the simplicity that sticky notes brings and the smartness that app technology offers we have combined those two parts and created a super simple app that only need a few seconds of your precious time.
