Remind Me Faster helps you get a task into Apple Reminders the moment it crosses your mind. It's designed to minimise friction and distraction. It complements the Reminders app that's already on your iPhone, instead of replacing it.
Hi, I’m Nick 👋. I created Remind Me Faster.
This app exists because it took too long to get something out of my head and into Apple Reminders (without talking to Siri - sometimes talking just isn’t convenient). The friction meant I’d often get distracted or not add things at all.
Remind Me Faster eliminates that friction. It aims to do one thing well: get tasks into Apple Reminders as fast as possible. It complements the Reminders app on your phone, rather than replacing it. Integrating with Reminders means you also get notifications that stick to the lock screen, which I believe still isn’t available to other apps.
Key features:
• Set time or date alerts using natural language - e.g. "Reply to Mike tomorrow 10am".
• Set time or date alerts with a tap, using preset times or durations.
• Set location alerts with two taps.
• Choose any list to add to.
• Set priority (• ! !! !!!)
• Lock Screen launcher widget
• Share sheet extension
• URL scheme support
• Alternative app icons
Most functionality is available for free, with some one-off IAPs for extra features.
Additional notes:
1. I built Remind Me Faster v1.0 ~8 years ago, and then posted it here 5 years ago. I’ve released many updates since then, including natural language support and location alerts. Recently I’ve refreshed the design/animations and added a share extension.
2. Many newer Reminders features (like tags and subtasks) aren’t available in Remind Me Faster because Apple’s EventKit API doesn’t support them yet. When/if that happens, I’ll add them. That said, I still personally use this all the time even without those newer features, so perhaps others will too.
I hope you find it as useful as I do. I've always got more planned, and I’d love to hear any feedback you have. Feel free to reach out here, or via the contact links in the app.
