Meowminder - A tiny cat that makes reminders harder to ignore
by•
Meowminder turns easy-to-ignore browser alerts into a small animated cat that walks onto the page you’re viewing. Set daily routines or one-time reminders, then mark them done or snooze for 10 minutes from the cat’s speech bubble. Choose its side, color, sound or silence. Everything stays in your browser—no account, tracking, analytics or network requests. Free for Chrome.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Ayaan, the maker of Meowminder.
I originally built Meowminder as a free Chrome extension because normal reminder notifications had become background noise for me. I would dismiss them without actually drinking water, stretching, or doing the thing.
The extension puts a small cat directly on the page you’re using and keeps it there until you choose Done or +10 min.

But then I thought: why stop there?
So I made a Mac and Windows desktop version with a more animated cat that can remind you across your whole desktop, not just inside the browser.
It includes:
Daily routines for water, stretching, eye breaks, and wind-down time
Custom one-time reminders
Done or snooze directly from the cat’s speech bubble
Different cat colors, sounds, and screen positions
No account, tracking, or analytics
I wanted Meowminder to sit somewhere between forgettable notifications and aggressive productivity blockers.
I’d really value honest feedback: does the cat feel helpful or distracting after using it? And what daily routine should I add next?
Love the no-account vibe and the snooze button is genuinely useful. One thing that would make this stick for me is letting the cat react when you actually finish a task, like a little headbutt or purr animation. It would turn marking something done into a tiny reward instead of just clicking a checkbox, and it fits the whole playful tone of the extension.
@sat477669931529 That’s a great idea! A headbutt or purr would make completing a reminder feel more rewarding. Adding this to my update ideas. Thank you! 🐱

Congrats on launching Meowminder! I like the focus on a tiny cat that makes reminders harder to ignore. Excited to see where it goes. 🚀
@leon_ostrez Thanks, Leon! Keeping Meowminder small, simple and difficult to ignore was exactly the goal. Appreciate your support!
The local only approach is a great fit for this. No account, tracking, or network requests makes it easy to trust for daily routines.
Congrats on the launch! 🐱
@mohammed_messeguem Thanks, Mohammed! Keeping reminders private and fully local was very important to me. Glad that stood out, and thank you for the support! 🐱
