Reminders walkthrough: plain English to takeover

RemindersProjects & notesDuration

This 36-second walkthrough follows Reminders in FavTray, a Mac menu bar app for developers, one step at a time. Type a reminder in plain English, get a full-screen takeover, and see the history. A typed line such as “Stand up every hour 10–6 weekdays” becomes chips and pre-fills the editor, and nothing saves until you do. A month grid shows what fired, what was missed and what is coming; the reminder takes the screen with Done, Snooze and Skip, waits for your meeting to end, and History shows adherence and streaks.
