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!👀 + +![a screenshot of the homescreen of the reminders app][4] + +> 📋 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. + +![a screenshot of the new reminder dialog window on reminders][5] + +**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. + +![a screenshot of the upcoming reminders section on reminders][7] + +Similarly, you can check your past reminders and the completed ones by going to the specific categories: '**Past Reminders**' & '**Completed Reminders**.' + +![a screenshot of the past reminders section on reminders][8] + +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. + +![a screenshot of the custom lists category on reminders][11] + +> 💡 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 +``` + +[Download Reminders (Flathub)][15] + +_💬 What to-do list or reminder app do you use to track what you want to do?
