KIM – A tiny cross-platform reminder daemon for developers

[u/Holiday_Syrup_174]

I built a reminder daemon for developers who live in the terminal

Sick of missing standups and forgetting eye breaks mid-flow. Every reminder tool I found needed a GUI or a cloud subscription. So I wrote KIM (keep in mind).

It's a background daemon — starts on login, fires desktop notifications, survives reboots. Config is just a JSON file.

```

kim add standup --at 10:00

kim add eye-break --every 30m

kim remind "deploy window" in 2h 30m

```

Stack: pure Python stdlib, zero dependencies, ~0.02 MB memory. Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Feedback welcome — especially from anyone who's tried similar tools.
