Create quick desktop reminders with just one click
A simple yet effective macOS app for people who get easily distracted. Create quick reminders & start tasks on your desktop with just one click. Ideal for those with ADHD who need bold full-screen notifications.
DeskMinder syncs with Apple Reminders, allowing notifications to appear on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Users stay informed even when away from their Mac, with all reminders automatically synced across their Apple ecosystem.
The app maintains a complete history screen showing all past tasks and reminders, enabling users to review what they accomplished and identify patterns in their work habits and productivity.
The app is optimized for setting reminders in seconds with a simple interface. Users can create reminders for 5, 10, 15, 25 minutes or custom durations up to 99 minutes via UI or 999 minutes manually, making it ideal for urgent to-dos, short breaks, and fleeting ideas without opening complex calendar apps.
DeskMinder provides full-screen notifications and audio-haptic alerts that grab attention immediately, helping users with ADHD or attention issues stay on task. The minimalist design and quick setup (seconds to create a reminder) removes friction and keeps users focused on work rather than app navigation.
Users can position the reminder widget anywhere on screen, hide it completely, or use menu bar mode. Customizable keyboard shortcuts allow quick access, and the app supports multiple monitors, adapting to different workflow preferences.
