Remind Me is the simple, friendly way to remember everything that matters — from daily habits to one-off tasks, from places to people. Create a reminder in seconds: type what you want to be reminded of, choose when, and you're done. It keeps working even when the app is closed, and everything stays private on your device — no account, no tracking. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING • Repeat every day, on chosen days of the week, or on a single date • Fire once or several times a day — at specific times, or spread evenly across a window • Turn any reminder on or off without losing it REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE • Location reminders: get nudged when you ARRIVE at — or LEAVE — a place you pick on the map, with an adjustable distance • Save favorite places like Home, Work, or the store and reuse them with a tap • Color-coded categories to group and organize your list • Search, sort, duplicate, and reorder — stay tidy no matter how many you have NEVER MISS THE IMPORTANT ONES • Alarm-style reminders ring a full-screen alarm that stays until you dismiss it and breaks through Silent and Focus • Snooze to be reminded again a little later • Home Screen widget shows your upcoming reminders at a glance SEE IT ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN • A Lock Screen widget, an optional daily summary, and a live "upcoming" card HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT • A built-in Tips & FAQ guide, in English and Dutch FREE INCLUDES Up to 4 reminders, everyday repeats (daily, days of week, specific date), your choice of times, and the Home Screen widget. REMIND ME PRO Unlimited reminders, alarm-style reminders, location reminders, snooze, categories, extra scheduling (every few hours to months), the Lock Screen features, and a premium app icon.
