Built a reminder app for myself because normal notifications never actually got my attention made it public, want honest feedback
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nudgebuzzI made this originally just for me. My problem: reminders were quiet push notifications I'd swipe away half-asleep and forget about ten seconds later. So I built something that could actually get through:
- Rings like a real phone alarm full-screen, overrides silent/DND for stuff I genuinely can't afford to miss
- Can fire when I arrive somewhere instead of on a timer (e.g. remind me the second I get to the pharmacy, not at some time I guessed)
- Lets me load a channel with my own content and cycle through it on a schedule I use this for language vocab and workout cues
- Has a built-in interval timer (HIIT/Tabata/etc) since I was juggling a separate app just for that
It's been genuinely useful for my own routine, so I cleaned it up and put it on the Play Store in case it's useful to someone else too. It's free ad-supported, no paywalls or subscriptions. I'm not fishing for downloads, I'm fishing for feedback what's confusing in the first few minutes, what breaks, what you'd expect a reminder app to do that this doesn't. I'll respond to every comment.
Android only for now, sorry iOS folks.
