Why we built it

We missed the old Outlook reminders.

For years we lived by the classic Outlook reminder window, the one that popped up and stayed put until you dealt with it.

When it went away, we tried app after app: notifications that slid off screen, pop-ups that disappeared on their own, tools that wanted an account just to remind us to call someone back. None of them worked the way we do.

So we built the one we wanted. A small, stubborn window that stays on top until you say done or later. That's how Easy Reminder was born.

Then we just used it, every day, for a while. Added things, took things out, tweaked the rest, until it did the right stuff, the right way.

Years of Outlook reminders

A window that waited for us.

It went away

And reminders started slipping.

We tried everything

Nothing stayed on screen.

Built our own

Easy Reminder. It won't go away.

Built to be stubborn
No close button.
Can't minimize it.
Alt+F4? Cute.
Two ways out: done or later.

It re-asserts itself above other always-on-top windows, flashes the taskbar, and waits. It never steals keyboard focus, so it can't swallow what you're typing.

Snooze, not ignore.

15 or 30 minutes in one click, or type any time with “Other…”. The reminder waits until you pick.

Private by design.

Reminders live in a small file on your own PC and never leave it. The only internet use is your license: activating a key, plus a quiet check about once a month. Being offline never takes your license away.

Call the dentistWhy: ask about moving the cleaning to Friday

Why, not just what.

Add an optional note. It shows right on the pop-up, so future you knows exactly what to do.

Loud when it matters.

Pick any Windows sound, including the alarm tones, and have it chime again every 1, 5 or 15 minutes until you acknowledge.

Questions

Good to know.

How does the free trial work?

Easy Reminder is free for 14 days from the first time it runs on each PC, with every feature unlocked. No account or credit card needed to try it.

What happens when the trial ends?

Reminders stop popping up until you enter a license key, but nothing is deleted. The moment you activate, anything that came due in the meantime pops up, marked “Missed”.

How many PCs can I use it on?

The standard license covers up to 3 PCs ($39.99 at launch, then $49.99). If you only need it on one PC, there’s a single-PC license ($9.99 at launch, then $19.99). Need more? Add a PC for $9.

Is it a subscription?

Not if you buy now. Right now it’s a one-time payment for a lifetime license: no renewals, no monthly fees, ever. Lifetime licenses are only sold for our first six months, though, and won’t return. The launch price is the best deal we’ll ever offer, then lifetime is $49.99 until the window closes. After that, Easy Reminder moves to $39.99 a year or $5 a month for up to 3 PCs, and the single-PC license is retired. Anyone who bought lifetime keeps it, along with updates and fixes as they come out.

I got a new PC. Can I move my license?

Yes. On the old PC, open Settings → License and click Deactivate…, then enter your key on the new PC. If the old PC is gone, contact support and we’ll free up the slot.

Does it need the internet? What about my privacy?

Your reminders are stored in a small file on your PC and never leave it. There are no accounts and no telemetry. The only internet use is your license: activating a key, plus a quiet check about once a month. Being offline never takes your license away.

Why can’t I close the reminder?

That’s the whole point: a reminder that can disappear is one you can miss. When a reminder is due, it stays on top of every window until you click Acknowledge or Snooze it. There’s no close button, and Alt+F4 does nothing. It also never steals your keyboard, so it won’t swallow what you’re typing.

Which versions of Windows does it work on?

Windows 10 (version 1903 or later) and Windows 11. There’s nothing else to install, and no administrator rights are needed.

Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. Is it safe?

Yes. That’s Windows SmartScreen, which appears for new apps that aren’t code-signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Can I back up my reminders?

Yes. Settings → Data lets you back up your reminders to a file and restore them, on the same PC or a new one.

Something else? The support page covers installing, licenses, settings and more, or you can contact us there.

Pin it.Forget it.

Your future self will be reminded. Repeatedly, if necessary.

Lifetime licenses are only sold for our first six months, and they won’t come back. After that, Easy Reminder is $39.99 a year or $5 a month for up to 3 PCs. Every lifetime license bought before then stays lifetime, with updates and fixes included as they come out.

Free for 14 days on each PC. After that, reminders pause until you enter a license key; nothing is deleted, and anything that came due pops up the moment you activate. The standard key covers 3 PCs, can be moved to a new PC anytime, and more PCs are $9 each.

One small file (under 500 KB), installs per user in seconds with no admin rights, and needs nothing else on Windows 10 (1903+) or 11. The installer isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows may say “Windows protected your PC”: choose More info → Run anyway.
