Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Paul, and I’m excited to launch ReminderOS today!
Most reminder apps do the same thing: they notify you at a time you chose, and assume that’s enough.
In reality, that’s usually not how things get done. A few examples from how I use ReminderOS:
- I take vitamin C + D every morning. I’ve got a short heads-up before the actual reminder so I don’t just dismiss it and move on.
- If I need to return something, I star the email and it becomes a reminder.
- For the gym, the useful reminder isn’t the workout — it’s the one before it that tells me to pack my bag and get ready.
That’s the idea behind ReminderOS- not just “remind me at this time” but “help me actually follow through”.
You can keep things simple, or get very specific with schedules (every 3 days, certain weekdays, etc.). Everything syncs via iCloud, so no accounts and no tracking.
I didn’t set out to build a reminders app, I just wanted something that works properly day to day.
How do you find reminder apps? What's working and what's not working?

@paul_waweru1 Hi. Reminders that “keep up with you”, does it actually learn my habits or just ping more often?
@julia_zakharova2 The first iteration of this is ping you more often which is entirely configurable with "pre-reminders" (reminders before the main reminder) and persistent reminders that trigger until you complete a task.
Next iteration will make this feel more intuitive and learn your habits!
@theapricotapp Hey! It's "pre-reminders" that you can configure, for instance 30 mins or 15 minutes before the main alarm, so it helps with being prepared before the main alarm arrives!

I love the multiple reminders! Thats whats missing from my google calender/iphone notifs!
Love the idea of reminding before the reminder !! that’s actually what makes things happen in real life. Most apps assume one notification is enough, but it rarely is. Congratss !! will definitely try it

this is really cool! can I set up these reminders by asking Siri?

@naveensharma Thank you! Creating reminders with Siri is a work in progress!
is it follow ups or sub-reminders? sub-reminders could be really effective actually

I use reminders all the time. The idea of setting “pre”-reminders isn’t a bad idea at all. Curious how it’d affect me.
