Side Reminder

Side Reminder is a macOS application that keeps Apple Reminders accessible at the edge of the screen. It is designed for users who want reminders without switching apps or losing their focus. The app supports people who use Apple Reminders directly, including developers, designers, students, and general users who prefer a fast capture and quick check-off workflow on a Mac.

The tool operates by sliding in reminders when the mouse reaches the screen edge and hiding them when it moves away. Voice input can be activated with a keyboard shortcut, and audio is processed on-device on the user's Mac. Reminders can be managed with keyboard navigation, and content can be linked or watched without leaving the Reminders interface.

Main capabilities include a floating focus timer that stays on screen, drag-and-drop organization, and per-list kanban boards. It also offers rich link previews, native integration with Apple Reminders, and a workflow that supports quick creation, completion, and status tracking while staying within the Reminders system.

The product is a macOS app available for download from the Mac App Store. It emphasizes native Apple Reminders integration and privacy by design, with on-device processing for voice input and data staying within the user's iCloud ecosystem. It lists platform support primarily for macOS with cross-device synchronization across Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

Use cases

• Developers keep a task backlog visible while coding and add reminders for bugs or TODOs without leaving the editor.
