Ever found yourself endlessly snoozing notifications for your reminders?
Mindr offers an innovative new approach.
Its intuitive UI integrates the progress of your reminders right on your home screen, reminding you subtly about due dates.
What started with the working title "CoffeeKit" to keep track of my espresso machine maintenance, turned into a great alternative to conventional reminders.
In a world where we are bombarded by notifications, I just didn't want another app to remind me about stuff that I don't have to be right away but still should do soon. I used to use reminders but kept snoozing them every day.
The Apple battery widget then inspired me to just have a widget on the home screen to subtly remind me about the progress while still looking beautiful.
I use it ever since and now wanted everyone to benefit from it.
I love the idea behind Mindr because the app doesn't disturb you like others with notifications but, in a healthier way, gives you a clear understanding of when something should be accomplished. Curious to see the app grow over time.
Kudos to the developer for building in public on Twitter ๐
@angcosmin Thanks! That's what kinda kickstarted the app. I used to have it for my personal use only for like half a year, super hardcoded and without interactive widget. With the announcement of the interactive widgets i thought that's the perfect opportunity to make it public ๐
I snooze them because it is an issue of psychology not because of the medium for the reminder. Usually the activation energy to do the task is too high or there are a lot of unknowns for the task or there are prerequisites that need to be completed before the task can be completed but I don't know what they are or I haven't fleshed out the issue well enough.
@kingromstar Yeah, i totally get that. But with the widget you'll be constantly reminded about it and actually see how long it's already overdue, at some point the guilt just because too big for me and i have to do it. :D
Everyone is different though of course
I love it, Since I have started using focus mode I barely see any notifications but itโs really nice to see reminders as progress directly inside widgets. Great work ๐
@tanmaymakode Yep, for me it's also just a blur, that's why i often missed them because they are drowned in the flood of notifications! Thanks so much!
