VB-Reminder

It is easy to forget planned activities when you are concentrating on various other tasks, and, while there are plenty of applications designed to prevent this, they are often rather complex and difficult to set up.
VB-Reminder is a lightweight, portable utility that enables you to configure reminders and can display desktop notifications, as well as play sound alerts.

Simple activity reminder

The application is not complex by any means, as only a few settings can be modified, and all of its functions are very straightforward.
You can specify when the alert should be displayed, insert a personalized notification text and enable or disable the audio alarm. However, the program does not provide multiple alert sounds for you to choose from.
Sadly, it is not possible to set up multiple reminders or have them be repeated at specified intervals.

Lightweight, unobtrusive application

VB-Reminder can be sent to the system tray once a notification has been configured, so you need not worry about it getting in the way of your other activities.
Moreover, the program can start the configured reminder automatically once it is minimized. This function is very helpful, as it makes it impossible to forget to activate the alarm before hiding the application.
When the notification is displayed, the background is dimmed to ensure the reminder captures your attention. It also stays on top of all other windows, so it does not matter what you were doing at the time.

Portable tool that can be carried on USB drives

VB-Reminder does not need to be installed on your computer, which means you can place it on portable storage devices and launch it from any location, on any machine that meets the listed requirements.
All in all, VB-Reminder is a no-nonsense, easy-to-use application that enables you to set up reminders is just a few seconds. It can display notification messages and play sound alerts, is fully portable and can be minimized to the system tray.
