MojiDo is a visual reminder app built around one simple idea: a picture is faster to understand than a wall of text. Tap an emoji, set a time, and your iPhone or Apple Watch will buzz with a fullscreen reminder anyone can read at a glance — even kids who haven't learned to read yet, and adults whose brains process images faster than words. Designed for families, kids with dyslexia or learning differences, and anyone who finds traditional task lists overwhelming. — WHAT MAKES MOJIDO DIFFERENT — • Emoji-first interface. Pick from hundreds of curated emojis organized into categories: Daily Routine, Food, School, Chores, Pets, Health, and more. • Independent Apple Watch app. Works on any Apple Watch (Series 6 or later) — even Family Setup watches with no paired iPhone. Add, edit, and receive reminders right from your wrist. • Watch complications. See your next reminder on your watch face. Available in all four complication families. • Filter by day. View just today's reminders, or browse what's scheduled for any day of the week. • Repeat or one-time. Set reminders for specific days (school days only, weekends only) or one-time events. • Family Sharing built in. One purchase covers up to six family members. • Privacy first. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your reminders sync between your devices through your private iCloud — never through our servers. — FREE TO TRY — Try MojiDo with up to 3 reminders for free. If it works for you, unlock unlimited reminders for a single $2.99 purchase. No subscriptions, ever. — WHO IT'S FOR — • Parents teaching independence — kids can read their own routine • Kids with dyslexia, ADHD, or autism who benefit from visual cues • Anyone learning English or who prefers pictures over text • Apple Watch users who want a simple reminder app, not a calendar • Adults who want their morning routine on their wrist — ACCESSIBILITY — MojiDo is built around accessibility-first design: large emojis, high contrast, minimal text, and full VoiceOver support. Every emoji has a descriptive label for screen readers. — REQUIREMENTS — • iPhone running iOS 17 or later • Apple Watch Series 6 or later running watchOS 11 (optional but recommended) • iCloud account for syncing between devices
