You already capture reminders the easy way — a quick "Hey Siri," a tap on your Watch, a line typed into Apple's Reminders. The problem isn't capturing them. It's the wall of notifications that follows. Remindfully sits quietly on top of Apple Reminders and changes one thing: how they reach you. Instead of a buzz for every item, you get one calm digest each morning — everything due today, in a single glance. The things that genuinely can't wait still interrupt, at the moment they matter. Everything else simply waits in the digest, where it belongs. Your reminders never move. Remindfully reads from Apple Reminders and writes your changes straight back, so Siri, your Watch, and the Reminders app all keep working exactly as before. Nothing to migrate. Nothing to rebuild. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - One daily digest — a single summary notification each morning instead of a steady drip all day. - The important stuff still gets through — reminders set for a specific time can interrupt at that time, and anything you mark High Priority always breaks through, even when everything else is staying quiet. - Smarter about missed reminders than you'd expect — miss a daily reminder and Remindfully quietly rolls it to today. But miss a weekly or monthly one, and it stays clearly flagged, so a missed bill never disappears for three weeks. - Fix things without switching apps — create a reminder, correct a mistyped title or a wrong date, set or change a repeat, or delete something, all from inside Remindfully. Everything syncs straight to Apple Reminders. - A calm lock-screen card — see today's progress and what's next at a glance, check things off right from the lock screen, and glance at it on your Apple Watch. (Pro) - Per-list rules — let one list always interrupt while the rest stay in the digest. (Pro) FREE FOREVER - The daily digest, time-based interrupts, high-priority interrupts, completion sync, editing, and the full reminder mirror are free — no time limit. REMINDFULLY PRO — $4.99, ONE TIME - Unlock the lock-screen card and per-list interrupt rules with a single purchase. No subscription. Buy it once, keep it. - Remindfully requires access to Apple Reminders to read your items and mark them complete. It does not collect or transmit your reminders anywhere — everything stays on your device and in your own iCloud.

Sitting is the easiest habit to fall into and the hardest to notice. Hourly Move gives you one glance and one job: stand up and move — on the schedule you set. REMINDERS YOU WON'T TUNE OUT Most reminder apps fail for one reason: your brain learns the pattern and starts ignoring it. Turn on anti-habituation jitter and Hourly Move shifts each reminder by a small, random few minutes every day — same schedule, never the same rhythm — so it stays noticeable instead of fading into the background. It's free, and it's the whole point. ANY INTERVAL — DOWN TO EVERY 5 MINUTES Most reminder apps stop at "hourly". Hourly Move lets you set a repeating alert at any interval — every 5 or 10 minutes, every 25, every 90, every 2 hours. Great for stand-up and stretch breaks, eye-rest and posture checks, hydration, medication, or Pomodoro-style focus and break cycles. YOUR HOURS, YOUR RULES Set an active window (say 9:00–17:00), pick your interval, and keep lunch quiet with skip windows. Reminders fire inside your window and nowhere else. WEEKDAYS ≠ WEEKENDS Create separate profiles — Workdays, Weekend, Study — each with its own days, hours, pace, and sound. They switch automatically with your week. THE DAY RING Home is a true 24-hour dial: your active window drawn at its real clock position, skip windows dimmed, the next reminder glowing, a live countdown underneath. One glance tells you what's next. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN, HOME SCREEN, AND SIRI Add the Day Ring as a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget so your next break is always in view. Turn on the Live Activity to watch the countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Pause or resume from a Control Center toggle, or just say "Hey Siri, pause my reminders" — and ask Siri when your next one is. SEE YOURSELF MOVE History counts every break — done, snoozed, or missed — by day, week, month, and year. Watch the habit build. RELIABLE, NOT SPAMMY Time-sensitive notifications arrive on the minute you scheduled. Pause for an hour, skip past lunch, or pause everything from one switch when you need quiet. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics. No internet access at all — your settings and history never leave your iPhone. Back up to a file you control, restore anytime. MAKE IT YOURS Five accent themes (Sunrise, Ocean, Forest, Blossom, Midnight), bundled reminder tones or import your own, custom reminder messages, full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support, and reduced-motion respect throughout. Stand up. Stretch. Every hour. Your back will thank you.
