The compact interface put at your disposal does not spend too much time on your desktop, hiding in the system tray once you finish setting up reminders.
Only a few mouse clicks are required to finish adding a reminder. In other words, the application creates custom alarms with the possibility to set a custom message to appear when time is up.

Straightforward with limited, but practical features

Hitting the “Add” button from the main window gives you access to several time related options. You can select specific days when the alarm to go off or even make it recurrent.
Moreover, you can choose a sound to announce you acoustically, in case no message is set. However, you can only select from a few predefined sound effects, with no integrated function that allows you to add custom tones.
Once you set all necessary details, the application goes in the system tray. It would have been useful to be able to set a custom combination of keys to bring up the main window in case you quickly needed to add a reminder.
