Reminder — A better reminders app
Reminder is the best way to keep track of your reminders on iOS. Quickly add multiple reminders in a row using the return key. Set time and location alarms to make sure you don’t forget the important stuff. The interface was designed to fit right in with other first party apps. Reminder was built to be quick to launch and easy on your battery.

@bochkovaleks Thanks for the feedback! You can add reminders using the plus button next to each lists’ title. Shoot me an email if you’re still having issues.
@onelargetea Location triggers for notifications have been around since Apple added them to their Reminders app IIRC.
Hey Product Hunt!
I’m excited to share with you the product of a years worth of evenings and weekends. I was fed up with Apple’s first party reminders app, so I decided to build my own! I took design influences from Apple’s more modern Home app, and strove to make the app feel at home on iOS.
I am an independent developer, so the app is a paid app. If you’d like to give it a test run though, you can use the Promo Codes below. Please let me know when you use a code so I can cross it off. Feel free to send any comments / questions / feedback my way, it’s much appreciated. Enjoy!
Features:
- Manage your lists of reminders with just a few taps
- Add a time alert using either the presets or a specific time
- Set a location alert based on your current location, or use one of your most recently used locations
- Fully compatible with Apple’s Reminders app
- Force touch shortcuts to create reminders lightning fast
- Dark mode for use at night
Version 1.5 will be launching April 16, 2018.
v1.5 Features:
- Today Widget: Shows you upcoming, overdue, and relevant location reminders
- Share Sheet extension: Allows you to create reminders from other apps

@mpdifran Amazing app. I used the promo code but planning to gift it to someone. Suggestion I have is to enable drag and drop to re arrange items between the lists. And increasing the tap target size. Other than that it's just amazing and simple. Great work!
@mpdifran Yes I am referring to the checkmark, editing would be a secondary action but completing a reminder would be the primary action, so it being larger is important. Sorting the items based on the time would be a nice feature, maybe you can think about that as well.
Overall, it's a great app, I have neglected the stock app for a long time but I can really see myself using your app.
Really beautifully designed, love the integration with the default Reminders app.
Totally giving a review on the App Store!
PS: I used this code WPL9PTNL3K97
Hi Mark, used the A9XLNPKNNLN3. Loved how you placed the permissions screen right on onboarding and really straightforward (already showed to my design team). I'll give it a go and check how location-based reminders work and I'll buy the app to support you. What would you say that are the main differences from your app to the native Reminders from Apple?
@thejoaosantos Thank you so much! The main differences between Apple's Reminders app and mine would probably be in the UI. I tried to build the UI to be as simple as possible, and wanted to make sure you could use the minimum amount of taps to create a reminder. I do have a few extra features in the pipeline as well, so look out for that!
Thank you for the promo code! I used 9NPY7AKKJNFR.
I can definitely see the design influences from Apple's Home app. The app seems pretty minimal and works well, although I'd like to be able to hide certain lists and shake to undo a deletion or completion. The colour picker bar above the keyboard is a nice touch, and the quick time presets and location alert screens are great, much more intuitive than Apple's Reminders imo.
I brought the app to support you.
Really like it, there is a bug when sorting lists, it will sometimes duplicate the title and glitch when reordering. Other than that really like the app.
I also really like the dark theme, could you let us choose our icon colour independently of what theme we're using. (have dark theme but white icon?)
Congrats on your launch and good luck!
@migueljohn_ Thank you very much! I have actually seen that bug before, but I've had trouble reproducing it. I'll spend some more time looking into it. Thanks for the feedback on the theme, I'll look into allowing you to set the icon separately.
Looks great. I didn't see anyone else ask, any future plans of making an Android version? Currently I use Keep for many reasons over better reminder/to-do apps, a big one being the tie-in to my Google account and being able to use it on the web too. Being used to that type of arrangement, it's hard using another similar app that just resides on my phone.
@arthurgd3 I've had a few requests for an Android version from some friends, but I think my time would be better focused on macOS + watchOS + new features. Plus the app directly integrates with EventKit, which doesn't exist outside Apple's ecosystem.
An interesting app. Bought it as well because of the support for indie devs. The name is quite challenging to get on top of the searchresults in the appstore. I had to search (in the Dutch appstore) on the name and your last name to find it. I will test the app for a few days.
@frankmeeuwsen Thanks so much! Yeah the app name is kind of generic. Hopefully app ratings will help out my SEO. I could also try adding more text to the name.
@mpdifran Good luck with that. We know from experience how hard it is. I love the permissions-page in your app. Dropped a screenshot in our Design channel on Slack already :-)
@frankmeeuwsen Yeah I really like the permissions screen as well. It's quite a flexible view; try disabling the location permissions, and adding a location alarm. I also show it on launch when I add a new permission (with the new permission highlighted).
As a frequent user of Apple's Reminders app, I'm interested in what you've done here and I'm happy to support your hard work with your app purchase. Maybe there's a hidden opportunity to broaden your base and keep promo codes tidy by giving them out via an email signup vs. simply sharing them here... Congrats on launching and good luck! I'm excited to use your alternative!
@trythiscolor Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into that. I hope you enjoy using the app!
@mpdifran Already digging it! I love Dark Mode and the quick buttons for time/location alert types. The designer in me would like to see a list view vs. grid view and a big fat + button in the last position of the grid of my current reminders.
@trythiscolor Thanks! Actually one of my earlier designs had the "Add Reminder" button at the end, but I found it difficult to determine which list you were adding to (when you have a lot of reminders). I have also been wondering how to handle longer reminders and larger accessibility text sizes, so maybe an option to display in a list would help with that.
@trythiscolor @mpdifran Agreed, I would be interested in a way to see longer reminders without the text being truncated. A list view option would be really nice.

Thank you! Looking forward to trying this app. I have forever been on the hunt for the perfect 'Reminder' app. Hope this is the one!
Is there a way to access the lists from my Mac? A website or native app? I work a lot between iPhone and Mac and keeping my reminders in sync has brought me to using Wunderlist but this looks really cool and I'd love to try it!
@digitalberrybot There is a macOS app in the works, but in the meantime, you should be able to use Apple’s Reminders app on macOS as a fill-in.
@lukepeerfly since it integrates with the built in reminders app, you can use Siri to set reminders and have them appear in the app. Due to limitations of the apis however, the app needs to be launched, or a background refresh needs to occur for notifications to be scheduled. I am looking into adding my own Siri extension, but right now I’m having name conflicts with the default reminders app.
Hey,
I'm doing a small academic research on how to make reminder apps a better way for managing daily stuff. That would be great to get the feedback of the users of this Reminder app. This is a quick survey with predefined answers to select: https://forms.gle/vsCVbvyPcZunmcSd9 Thank you!
Love the look of this! Thanks for the free code, looking forward to using this long term 👍🏻
