Ever write a reminder in your notebook, then forget to check it? Or open your Mac with a clear intention, only to forget what it was by the time your screen lights up?

Built for ADHD brains and busy professionals who need instant clarity. THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES You open your Mac with a clear intention - check that email, finish that design, pay that bill. But by the time your screen lights up, you've forgotten. You get lost in tabs, notifications, and distractions. Hours later, you're wondering: "What was I supposed to do?" WakeMinder fixes this.

No opening apps, no checking lists - it's just there. • Auto-opens links: Share a link from Safari or any app on iPhone, and it automatically opens in your browser when your Mac wakes. No copying, no pasting - just lift the lid. • Stays visible: Floating reminder windows keep your current task always visible while you work.
