What you get
You get reminders that stand out when you're absorbed in work.
DeskMinder helps you remember a call, deadline, or task when you're concentrating on something else. You can add a reminder from the menu bar or a desktop widget, or start a preset timer for 5, 10, 15, or 25 minutes. That gives you a quick way to set a prompt before returning to your work.
When a reminder is due, you can have it fill your screen rather than appear as a small popup. If that feels too intrusive, you can choose regular notifications and adjust the notification sound. You can also move the widget out of your way, hide it, and bring it back with a hotkey.
If you use Apple Reminders, you can keep up with reminders on your iPhone and Apple Watch when you're away from your Mac. A history view lets you revisit past reminders and tasks instead of relying on memory.
