Yaad (یاد — Urdu for "remember") is a desktop reminder app that fires native OS notifications with built-in jitter and pattern-interrupt framing — so they actually cut through the noise. Powered by Honker!
Most reminder apps assume your brain will notice a notification. If you have ADHD, your brain actively ignores notifications unless they hit in exactly the right way, at exactly the right moment, with zero friction to act.
The Solution:
Yaad is built around one simple principle: A reminder is useless if you don't notice it.
What You Get
⚡ Instant capture — Type a reminder and press Enter. Two seconds, no mouse.
🔔 Smart notifications — Built on Honker, a durable queue inside SQLite. If the app crashes or your laptop sleeps, notifications still fire on next wake.
😮💨 Shame-free design — No missed-item counters. No red badges. No streak breaks. Past-due items show "from yesterday", not "OVERDUE 14h 23m".
💤 Snooze is a first-class verb — Reschedule anything in one click. Missing things is normal.
⌨️ Keyboard-first — Navigate, complete, and snooze without touching the mouse. Tab between Today and Upcoming with Ctrl+Tab.
🎯 Two views — Today (what's due now) and Upcoming (everything else).
🔒 Fully local — One .db file on your disk. No account. No sync server. No telemetry. Ever.
🪶 Tiny — ~18 MB installed. Boots in under a second.
