A gentle nudge to eat, for people who forget — not count. If you have realised at three in the afternoon that you have not had breakfast, or watched your lunch break disappear into one more meeting, Simplio Meal Reminder is built for you. It is a calm meal reminder for adults who simply need a small alarm when the day gets loud — not a calorie tracker, not a macro coach, not a meal planner trying to redesign your diet. Just a quiet nudge to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at times that fit your real schedule. The philosophy is simple: a meal alarm should help you eat on time, then step out of the way. There is no account, no cloud upload, no third-party server in the loop — your meal log stays on this device, used by you and nobody else. Every feature described below is unlocked only with an auto-renewable subscription purchased inside the app. New users receive a 3 day free trial; you may cancel anytime during the trial to avoid being charged. Set reminder times for each meal in a single screen, add snack reminders if your blood sugar prefers smaller intervals, and the app does the rest. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep the next mealtime glanceable, an Apple Watch complication taps you on the wrist when your phone is across the room, and a Focus-mode-aware design respects deep work without burying the alert when it matters. Optionally log what you ate in a single line, with no judgement and no portion math, and watch a quiet streak build without shaming the days life got in the way. A clear daily view shows the next mealtime ahead and the ones you have already taken care of, nothing more. Beyond the basic alarm, this eat reminder handles the texture of how people really eat. Weekly patterns let work days run on a tight breakfast-lunch-dinner rhythm and let off days breathe with brunch or a late dinner. Medication-aligned reminders help people who must eat before or after a dose, and family reminders make it easy to nudge a child to finish lunch or remind an elderly parent that dinner is ready. Custom reminder sounds beyond the default let a quiet office hear a soft chime instead of a default alert, and a CSV export of the meal log can be shared with a dietitian, doctor or caregiver. Edge cases are handled gracefully — a delayed flight, a missed breakfast, a shift change — without forcing you to rebuild the schedule. The interface ships in 39 languages with VoiceOver accessibility, Dynamic Type and high-contrast support. Everything works offline, including the food reminder, widgets and history. There is no marketing email, no analytics framework and no nutrition score sold on. Built for people with ADHD who forget to eat, busy parents, shift workers, caregivers reminding an elderly relative, students skipping breakfast, or anyone who wants a regular eating rhythm restored — a calm breakfast reminder, lunch reminder and dinner nudge rather than another diet app. Unlock with Pro: • All widgets, themes and StandBy layouts • Weekly patterns for work days and off days • Medication-aligned reminders and family reminders for kids or elderly • Export your meal log as CSV • Custom reminder sounds beyond the default Subscription Pricing & Terms Features require a subscription.
