reminder software

{{one source |date=March 2024}}

Reminder software is a type of time management computer software that is designed to alert the user of important events that they have input to the program. Most programs provide a calendar or list view of events, as well as a reminding technique. Most common reminding techniques are pop-up dialog boxes and auditory alarms.

Events may include birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, various one-time events. Often the software comes with a set of pre-installed events (such as holidays) and allows the user to create custom events.

As software has made the transition to web services, a number of online reminder services have appeared. Users subscribed to those services usually receive their reminders by email or SMS.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}} Context-aware reminder systems can set reminders based on the user's current location.{{cite book|author=John Krumm|title=Ubiquitous Computing Fundamentals|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RCxZl4PCXwAC&q=%22context-aware%22+reminder|date=8 October 2018|publisher=CRC Press|isbn=978-1-4200-9361-2}}
