Side Reminder

Apple Reminders on Your Screen Edge

Our Take

Side Reminder puts your Apple Reminders literally at the edge of your screen so you don't have to dig through the Reminders app every time you need to check something off. The idea is simple — a quick-access menu that lives in your system tray or edge gesture — which honestly feels like something Apple should have built into iOS/MacOS years ago. It solves a tiny friction point, but that's kind of the point: utility apps that just work tend to be the ones you Miss that kind of quick-access utility for everyday tasks.

Side Reminder gives you instant access to Apple Reminders right from your screen edge, so you can knock out tasks without the usual app-swapping hassle. It's that kind of minimal friction tool that somehow makes your whole workflow feel less broken — the sort of thing you didn't know you needed until you had it.

A macOS app that keeps Apple Reminders accessible at the edge of your screen. Move your mouse to the screen edge and reminders slide in instantly. Move away and they disappear — no clicking or app switching required.
