We’ve all been there: deep into a project, only to suddenly remember that urgent call or that deadline we were supposed to meet. DeskMinder² helps you stay on top of those moments by giving you quick, visual reminders that you simply can’t miss.

DeskMinder² features
Create reminders instantly
Reminders should be easy to set without interrupting your workflow. With DeskMinder², you can quickly add a reminder using a widget or from the menu bar, depending on what suits you best. DeskMinder also features quick built-in timers for 5, 10, 15, and 25 minutes.
Get bold, full-screen notifications
Tiny popups can be dismissed or overlooked. DeskMinder² takes over your entire screen with bold, full-screen notifications, making sure you can’t ignore or forget what’s important. You can also switch to regular notifications and adjust notification sound in Settings.
Sync your reminders across devices
If you use Apple Reminders, DeskMinder² helps you stay in the loop even when you’re away from your Mac. Your alerts follow you to your iPhone and Apple Watch, so you won’t miss a thing, no matter where you are.
Customize your workspace
You can place the reminder widget anywhere on your screen or hide it entirely if you need more space. Quickly bringing it back with a hotkey makes it easy to stay focused without clutter.
Access your full activity history
With a dedicated history screen, you can quickly review all past tasks and reminders. This helps you keep track of what you’ve accomplished and plan the next steps efficiently.

App version: 2.0.7
I like this a lot but, like reviewer Ash said, “snooze option is only for reminders but not for tasks. You can see the task title but not for a reminder.” If these changes were made this would be a 100% must-use app for me.

Overall, I think the app has potential. Some of the things that hinders from usage is why the snooze option is only for reminders but not for tasks. You can see the task title but not for a reminder. It would be nice to set a reminder to automatically show up every day or every work day at a particular time, i.e. ‘review the to-do list every morning at 9am’. Also, it would be good if I can restart a task or reminder from the history. Would be nice if I can set a different color of the splash screen based on task/reminder or just in general. The gray is rather boring. Will review again after the new version.

Hi Ash, this is a specialized app for short term reminders and tasks meant for right now, like “Turn off the oven.” Task titles are shown specifically to help keep them in your focus. As for the color, it’s not actually gray, it always adapts based on your desktop wallpaper and the windows currently open in the background.
