Gentle Reminders

Gentle Reminders helps you remember the small things that matter—without the pressure of a heavy productivity suite. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Add reminders in plain language from a simple field at the top of the screen. • See items grouped by time (for example Today and Earlier) so the list stays easy to scan. • Mark anything as Pending or Done with one tap—perfect for gentle check-ins. • Choose how often you want to be nudged: from minutes up to months. Open the bell control anytime to adjust your rhythm. • Get local notifications on your device when it’s time for the next reminder. (Grant notification permission when asked.) BUILT FOR CALM A warm green palette, readable type, and a straightforward layout keep the focus on your list—not on settings or accounts. PRIVACY & DATA Reminder text and preferences are stored locally on your device. There is no sign-in and no cloud account required to use the app. Questions or feedback?

Mononote helps you focus on one note at a time. Simply open the app and write down anything you want your future self to remember, whether it's a to-do, reminder, or motivational note. Keep it visible on your Home Screen with a widget, or start a Live Activity to pin it to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island when it's something more urgent. The app is intentionally simple, showing only one active note at a time. Archive or delete it when you're done, and a new blank note is ready for whatever comes next. Archived notes can always be restored if you need them again. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
