TimeCue helps you prepare for everyday moments that should not slip by: wake-up time, hydration, breaks, leaving home, study sessions, meetings, and personal routines.

TimeCue uses the iOS 26+ system alarm capability to schedule reminders that you create yourself, so important moments can appear more clearly. When you want a sound that is easier to recognize, you can actively record your own reminder sound while editing a reminder. Recordings are used only for the selected reminder and can be previewed, replaced, or deleted. Key features: Create one-time and weekly repeating reminders Pause, resume, edit, and delete reminder plans Schedule alarms with the iOS system alarm capability Add colors and notes to reminders Actively record, preview, and delete custom reminder sounds No account required; reminder data and recordings stay on device TimeCue is designed for general everyday reminders. It is not a medical, safety monitoring, emergency alert, or caregiving replacement product.
