Remind Me In

Remind Me In is your trusty sidekick for keeping track of tasks and reminders. Let’s be real, juggling all those things to do can be a hassle without a little help. This tool is perfect if you want basic reminders that kick in as soon as you set a timer.

Lightweight Windows Tool

This handy app is lightweight and works smoothly on Windows 10, even though it hasn’t seen an update in a while. Once you install it, it quietly hangs out in your system tray, waiting for your commands.

Easy Countdown Options

Just right-click the icon to pull up the countdown options. You can choose timers that range from just 1 minute all the way up to 5 hours! There are also some preset timers that make it super easy to quickly set reminders for your usual desktop tasks.

Custom Timers and Alarms

If you need something more personalized, Remind Me In lets you set custom countdowns too! Once your timer starts, it’ll sound an audio alarm and show a message in the systray when time's up.

Managing Your Reminders

You can easily check how much time is left by right-clicking the tray icon again. Plus, you have access to an “Options” menu where you can change the alarm sound (though there are only two choices) or set it to start automatically whenever you boot up your computer.

Lack of Customization

However, keep in mind that Remind Me In isn’t very customizable. You can’t create custom messages for notifications; instead, you'll see the same generic message saying, “Your time is up, Remember...” when your countdown ends.

Sound Limitations

The alarm sounds are pretty short too. If you're not at your desk when they go off, you might miss them! Unfortunately, there’s no option to make them play until you turn them off yourself. But hey, there's a workaround: if you're feeling adventurous, you can swap out those two Wave files in the app's directory with WAV files of your own!

Final Thoughts on Remind Me In

In summary, Remind Me In is a solid tool for getting alerts while working on your PC. It’s great for reminding yourself to take breaks or finish tasks but lacks some customization features that could make it even better!
