About
Web Push Reminder is a free tool that uses desktop notifications to help you remember the things that keep slipping your mind at work.
Why we built it
At the office, small but important tasks come up several times a day — “Call the client at 3,” “Pull up the slides 5 minutes before the meeting.” Phone alarms are easy to miss when your phone is on silent or in a bag, and putting every little thing on your calendar is a hassle. On top of that, many work computers don’t allow extensions or notification apps for security reasons.
So we built reminders that need nothing but a browser. Our server sends notifications at the scheduled time using Web Push, a web standard, so they pop up in the corner of your screen even after you close this page — as long as your browser is running.
What you can do
- Time: Reminders that start today. Just pick a time, like in 10 minutes or at 3 PM.
- Schedule: Reminders that repeat only between a start date and an end date. You can also skip the end date and keep them going.
- Repeat: Choose once, daily, weekly (on the days you pick), or every N minutes or hours.
- Follow-up: If you don’t respond to a notification, we’ll remind you once more after the time you set.
- Done and snooze: Use the buttons in the notification to mark it done or snooze it for 10 minutes.
- Status check: See your notification permission, subscription status, and recent delivery results at a glance.
- Account sync: Sign in with Google to see the same reminders and get notifications on every computer you’re signed in on.
- Up to 5 reminders: To help you focus on what really matters, each person can have up to 5 reminders.
Our principles
- Sign-up is optional: Every feature works without signing in. In that case, each browser is identified only by a random session, and we never ask for your name or email. Sign in with Google to save your reminders to your account and use them on multiple computers.
- We store only what we need: Reminder titles and notes are stored encrypted, and data that hasn’t been used in a long time is deleted automatically.
- Delete anytime: Click “Delete all data from this browser” at the bottom of the main page to erase your data from our server right away.
- Honest about our limits: Notifications won’t arrive if your browser is completely closed or your computer is off. For anything critical, use another reminder method as well.
