Stoobs vs Random Reminders & Alarms

Break free from routine or start a new one with Stoobs! Receive randomly timed reminders that inspire you to try something new, shake up your habits, and bring more variety into your day. Unlike traditional calendars and reminder apps, where everything is scheduled for an exact time, Stoobs uses the power of surprise to capture your full attention, so it feels more natural, less repetitive and much harder to ignore. Instead of reminding you at exactly the same time every day, Stoobs delivers reminder notifications at random moments within the time ranges you choose. List reminders make Stoobs even more varied: you choose a theme and add several possible messages. Stoobs then picks both a random time and a random item from your list. A mindfulness reminder might send a breathing exercise one time and a short reflection prompt the next. A movement reminder might choose squats, stretching or jumping jacks. Stoobs doesn't limit how many reminders you can schedule. Whether you want a few reminders each week or dozens every day, Stoobs keeps them coming. Make Stoobs yours! Customize: • Notification text, color and notes • Daily, weekly, monthly or yearly intervals • Weekdays and time windows • Repetitions per interval • Minimum time between reminders • Random entries from your own list, such as messages, quotes or exercises around one theme Need inspiration?

Stoobs doesn't collect any personal data. When you start your journey, an anonymous account is created automatically—no sign-up, no personal information required. Your reminders are for you, and only you. Note: Push reminders require notification permission and internet connection

Looks like a digital watch from the '80s. Goes off when you least expect it. Reminds you even in silent mode. Reminders on a fixed schedule are easy to get used to and start tuning out among everything else competing for your attention. Reminders you can't predict always grab it. That's why Random Reminders picks random moments within a window you set, so no reminder slips past you. WHO IT'S FOR * People with ADHD who need a random signal to check in on where their attention is right now * People practicing mindfulness: a random signal is a pause and a return to the here and now * Anyone building new habits: water, stretching, breathing, posture, gratitude DESIGN The whole app feels like a retro device in your hand. Physical switches, dot-matrix LED displays, tactile buttons with feedback. It's a reminders app that's a pleasure to use. TWO MODES * Notifications — standard alerts that respect silent mode and Focus. * Alarms (Pro) — break through silent mode and Focus. For the reminders that really matter. SOUNDS YOU'LL NOTICE 13 hand-picked retro sounds. Choose one or turn on shuffle — every random reminder grabs a little extra attention. HOW IT WORKS Create a reminder. Choose how many reminders per day. Set any time window: say, 9 AM to 9 PM. Pick the days of the week. The app takes care of the rest. PRICING * Free: 1 active notification reminder, 1 retro sound * Pro monthly: $0.99 * Pro yearly: $9.99 (with a 7-day free trial) * Pro forever: $29.99, one time, no recurring charges Pro unlocks alarms (iOS 26.1+), up to 3 active notification reminders, and all future Pro features. ABOUT THE LIMITS For technical reasons, active notifications are limited to 1 in the free version and 3 in Pro. Alarms run on a separate mechanism, so there's no limit on those. REQUIREMENTS * iOS 17+ for notification reminders * iOS 26.1+ for alarms * iCloud account for sync (optional) PRIVACY Your reminders sync through your private iCloud account. Nothing reaches our servers. For analytics we use Firebase and Mixpanel: only anonymous events like "reminder_created," never the text of your reminders. More in the privacy policy.
