Reminders: A Nifty Open-Source Linux App To Help You Get Things Done
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
You're doing the best you can, but reminders can still help!
|
||||
|
||||
![reminders][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Are you often forgetting things? Want a little help remembering your tasks? 🤔
|
||||
|
||||
While you can always use [note-taking apps for Linux][2], they may not effectively remind you of tasks and things.
|
||||
|
||||
The 'Reminders' app can be your little helper, reminding you of your pending work.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's see what it can do for you.
|
||||
|
||||
### Reminders: Overview ⭐
|
||||
|
||||
Reminders is a **simple open-source reminder app for Linux** written primarily using Python. It packs some good features in a compact package.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use it as one of the [to-do list apps][3] as well.
|
||||
|
||||
When you launch the app, you are greeted with a minimal home screen with all your reminders organized neatly.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, I created some interesting tasks that you might want to follow!👀
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
> 📋 By default, all your reminders are sorted by time; you can change that using the toggle in the top-left corner.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the plus button at the bottom right to create a new reminder. You can give it a name, a brief description, set it as an important reminder, and set the date/time.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also set it to repeat at specific intervals like minutes, hours, days, and weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
When the time comes for your reminder, it will show you a notification and play a sound to notify you.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Made a mistake?**
|
||||
|
||||
You can edit existing reminders by selecting them and clicking the '**Edit**' button.
|
||||
|
||||
![a screenshot showcasing the edit reminder functionality on reminders][6]
|
||||
|
||||
You can also go to the '**Upcoming Reminders**' category to see the reminders that have been scheduled.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, you can check your past reminders and the completed ones by going to the specific categories: '**Past Reminders**' & '**Completed Reminders**.'
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Reminders also **support custom lists** that organize reminders neatly for quick and easy access.
|
||||
|
||||
**Allow me to show you how to create a list.**
|
||||
|
||||
First, you must create a custom list by clicking on the 'Edit Lists' button in the sidebar and creating one.
|
||||
|
||||
![a screenshot of the custom lists feature on reminders][9]
|
||||
|
||||
Then, when creating a new reminder, under the 'Location' options, select the list you just created.
|
||||
|
||||
> 📋 You can also select the list when you are editing an existing reminder.
|
||||
|
||||
![a screenshot of using the custom lists feature on reminders][10]
|
||||
|
||||
Now, click on the list from the sidebar menu to view the reminders under it.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
> 💡 This impressed me; Reminders has **optional support for linking one's Microsoft account to sync up with their Microsoft To Do lists**.
|
||||
|
||||
It's quite a straightforward linking process, with the ability to tweak the auto-refresh frequency of fetching the to-dos.
|
||||
|
||||
![a screenshot of the microsoft to do integration on reminders][12]
|
||||
|
||||
Reminders offer some great functionality in a very compact package, and the [Microsoft To Do][13] integration might appeal to users who are looking for a Linux app with such functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
The closest alternative to this would be '[Go For It][14]!', another to-do app for Linux that provides a similar user experience (not actively maintained, but good enough).
|
||||
|
||||
### 📥 Get Reminders
|
||||
|
||||
You can download the Reminders app from [Flathub][15] or build it using its source code found on [GitHub][16].
|
||||
|
||||
They have plans for porting it for Windows, but it may or may not happen.
|
||||
|
||||
If you already have [Flatpak setup][17], you can type in the following command to install it via the terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
flatpak install flathub io.github.dgsasha.Remembrance
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
