Reminders widget for Windows
Reminders that actually interrupt you. Each one fires a native Windows notification with a sound you choose, and it still works when the dashboard is tucked away in the tray. Set how far in advance you want warning, group reminders by type, and turn on a full-screen alert for the ones you genuinely cannot miss. With AI enhancements on, you can type a reminder in plain words - "dentist Thursday 2pm, repeat monthly" - and the model fills in the date, time, type and repeat for you to confirm before it is saved.
