As always, I’d love to hear your feedback 💚, ideas, and suggestions for improvement.
You know I always listen and continuously work on making the product better.
Congrats! 🥂 Such a useful app, I really like the minimalist style and animations are great :)
It looks very simple without annoying elements. I think it is import for everyday use. Is it possible to add the sound of notification or it has only visual display?
@dmitriychuta Congratulations on the launch of Desk Minder! Wishing you continued success as you grow and make an impact with this innovative tool.
Congrats on the DeskMinder launch! This app has been a game‑changer for me over the past six months. I love how effortlessly I can set quick reminders and tasks right from my desktop and the full‑screen alerts are exactly what I needed to stay on track
Just gave DeskMinder a spin, the full-screen reminders are exactly what I needed to snap back into focus.
That audio-haptic combo is wild in the best way.
Cool tool! What’s the biggest productivity boost your users have seen after using DeskMinder?
@dmitriychuta As a coder who gets too focused, this tool is perfect! Gentle full-screen notifications are exactly what I need to remember other priorities. Great job – it's going into my workflow!
There’s something comforting about how direct this is. No logins, no syncing, no pressure to organize my whole life, just a simple way to remind myself of what’s important in the moment. I can see this replacing a lot of my post-its and random text files.
Most ‘minimal’ apps sacrifice function—yours packs insane utility into every pixel. That task history screen alone would save me 10 ‘Wait, what was I doing?’ moments a day. (Petition for Android next!)
Huge congrats on the launch of DeskMinder²! 🚀
I’ve already tried it and love how simple and effective it is. It really helps me stay focused throughout the day. Wishing you continued success and lots of upvotes today!
