Elsewhere is a reminder app built for people whose important moments happen in other timezones. Set a reminder for 12:00 AM April 5 in Asia/Kolkata, 9:00 AM in London, or next Friday in Tokyo. Elsewhere keeps the reminder anchored to that original local time and alerts you at the right moment wherever you are. Use it for birthdays, remote-team rituals, family calls, launches, travel plans, and anything else where the city matters as much as the date. What Elsewhere does: - Set reminders in any timezone - See both their time and your local time before saving - Use daily, weekly, or yearly recurrence with Elsewhere Pro - Keep your next reminder visible in the Home Screen widget - Store reminders locally on your device Elsewhere is reminder-first, not world-clock-first. No crowded timezone dashboard. No city grid to manage. Just the moments you care about, scheduled in the timezone where they actually happen.
