Hey everyone! I built Side Reminder because I was tired of losing my flow every time I needed to check a to-do.
The problem: Every time I wanted to add or check a reminder, I had to Cmd+Tab or go to mission control to Apple Reminders, breaking my concentration. For developers and creators who live in focused work, this constant context-switching kills productivity.
The solution: Side Reminder lives on the edge of your screen. Just move your mouse to the side and your Apple Reminders panel slides in instantly. Move away, and it disappears. Zero fiction.
What makes it different:
- Works with your existing Apple Reminders (no new silo, syncs with Sir/iPhone/iPad)
- On-device AI voice input (your voice never leaves your Mac)
- Kanban boards
- Built-in terminal with AI aent integration for developers
- Turn reminders into Focus timer as a floating window
Built 100% native on macOS with SwiftUI. I'd love to hear your feedback!
