You're online all day. Why not use the browser to remind you of things?
- smcleod 3y agoUgh… why not not use my browser for apps. I don’t want to install extensions for all the things. I want to keep my browser to reading and downloading content as much as possible.
- olig15 3y agoI really don’t understand the point of this. If you’re in a browser all day, then you’re also in your browser all day so just use a free app (or even the built in calendar that most OS’s have. There’s absolutely no way I’m ever going to enable notifications on my browser with how many garbage websites try to send notifications. And on top of that, there’s a subscription for one of the most basic bits of software there is. The FAQ even says none of the data leaves your device, so there’s no ongoing server costs to cover. I don’t get it.
- c_o_n_v_e_x 3y agoHow about the browser notice that i'm rabbit holing into off-topic* websites? Off-topic being any websites don't seem to be related to my daily to do list.
- foul 3y agoI'm on Telegram all day and I use that to remind me of things, thank you.

- input_sh 3y agoBecause every OS I can think of comes with a native app that does the same, while also integrating with whichever calendar I choose to throw its way? Because I need them on my phone as well?

- jjbinx007 3y agoMy worry is if I install this extension and it looks ok now, who's to say it won't be compromised later on by some nefarious person who wants to put something nasty in it?
- TechBro8615 3y agoThanks for the depressing reminder.
- bemmu 3y agoI love the domain name. Naming your side project “best <something>” must help SEO.
- redder23 3y agoThis shit should be illegal. Fucking hate search results with "best" in it. They are the WORST, all just suckers who try to sell you shit. Nowadays probably AI generated "best 10 x for x" lists. Disgusting, you really need to avoid "best" and have some search term that gets content from people actually honestly reviewing and testing things.
- laurent123456 3y agoI wonder how well this kind of app sells. It seems so useless to me (plenty of other calendar apps are free and with more features) but I guess there's someone out there who may be interested in it.
- mandark316 3y agoWhy would I ditch my Google/Outlook calendar for this reminder app?
- giantandroids 3y agoI honestly don't see the point of this (especially paid), when a browser based calendar with notifications enabled gets you all of this for free. I guess privacy is one consideration, but I already have a system there, I just use shortened words or prompts that only make sense to me.
- forgotpwd16 3y agoI've Remindoro installed which is exactly same thing, open source (https://github.com/palerdot/remindoro https://github.com/palerdot/remindoro), and supports Firefox.
- redder23 3y agoSorry there are a million apps that do this, I do not see the point of having it inside the browser and I for sure do not think tying to cache in on a "premium version" for a browser extension is appealing. Its rather appalling, so no thanks. I never even heard of a "premium version" of a browser extension ever - well OK i have heard of commercial subscriptions that tie into extensions like Bitwarden but I do not need that, its more for organisations.
- coffeedan 3y agoTangential Counterpoint: I have no connection to this thing and also question its value, but… At least on iOS, I think calendar reminders (both native and gcal) are fundamentally broken. Their notifications easily get lost in a sea of other notifications and are easily missed.
- giancarlostoro 3y agoThe Outlook ones always get my attention, I think they make the phone vibrate, and they show up on my Apple Watch. But sometimes I do miss some pings, mainly if people join the call too early.
- orev 3y agoI would argue that it’s the “sea of other notifications” that’s the problem, and that can be easily fixed by going through the notifications settings and disabling them for anything less important than calendar reminders. Do you really need to be interrupted every time someone likes an Instagram post?
- BeFlatXIII 3y agoThat takes too much effort. Defaults matter.
- thealistra 3y agoThere is no defaults. You are always asked by the app if you want to get notifications. Just say no to most of them
- rhaway84773 3y agoRight and when you accidentally say no to the ones that actually matter? The whole problem with a sea of notifications is that it’s hard to identify what’s important and what’s not. Your suggested solution does nothing to solve that problem other than to relocate when the problem arises.
- lethologica 3y agoThe best reminder app I have ever used is a sticky note on my bathroom mirror.
- penjelly 3y agofridge door is peak
- somedude895 3y agoGreat name and domain. Someone said "branding is overrated, let's go all in on SEO."
- fbhabbed 3y ago- Because the browser may not always be open, although my computer definitely is - Because I want the browser to browse, not to be an "everything" app - Because I'd use Google or Outlook Calendars if I had to
- MiddleEndian 3y agoOn the other hand, one of the big improvements Windows 10 offered me over Windows 7, is that I could disable all notifications, instead of just most balloon alerts.
- socrates137 3y agoIf you’re a fan of Chrome-based browsers, you could also just use Vivaldi. They have a built-in email and calendar client. There you go, email and calendar integration into your web-browsing experience. If you’re going to do it, go all the way.
