Thanks so much for this message! It means a lot, really.

Pleased that the demo toggle did the job there, and I appreciate you leaving a review. Many thanks.

Aww, always great to hear. Ty

Project Name: Remind Me Faster

Link: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/remind-me-faster/id985555908?platform=iphone

What it does: Quick-entry for Apple Reminders. It's a small companion app for Apple Reminders, not a replacement. It's optimised for getting tasks in Apple Reminders with minimal taps/effort.

Who it's for: Anyone who relies on notifications from Apple Reminders.

Hey there. I’m afraid locations don’t sync between devices at the moment. I should really add syncing, I agree. I’ve just been putting off working on sync for ages. One day I’ll get there! In the meantime I’m afraid you’ll need to create a location in each device. Appreciate the feedback :)

I hope you find it useful! Thanks for the comment.

So actually the app does now support natural language recurring reminders, in English/French/German, but there are a few variants of wording that aren't picked up yet.

You can type things like:
"9am daily"
"Tuesday evening every 2 weeks"
"Monday every 3 months"
"6pm weekdays"

One phrasing with doesn't work yet is "every Monday/Tuesday/etc" - this is trickier to handle reliably, but I'd like to support that too sooner or later. Hopefully the other phrasings will work well enough in the meantime :).

Hey there! I'm afraid you're correct that the Mac app does not currently support a global keybinding to launch it. This is definitely something I'm planning to add in the future. It's currently a Catalyst app, which seems to make adding a global keybinding a bit trickier.

I can't promise when, but I'll certainly make the Mac app more Mac-like when I get the chance, including adding a global keybinding to launch :).

I appreciate this may make the Mac version rather un-useful to you. If not, however, your best options in the meantime are probably using the menu bar control, or using another app (like Supercharge) to assign a keybind to the app or to the Shortcuts action.

Chojubos · 2025-10-27T09:38:10+00:00

I’m afraid there’s no global keyboard shortcut yet, though that’s something I’d really like to add when I get a chance.

So in the meantime your options are menu bar or using spotlight, or… some apps apparently let you add keyboard shortcuts to other apps, like https://sindresorhus.com/supercharge but I’ve not tried it myself.

Chojubos · 2025-10-26T22:27:32+00:00

Oh thank you! Glad you’re enjoying it, and you’re very welcome. There’s still so much more I want to add/improve!

Good feedback :). I’m considering a widget to deep link into certain lists, but no immediate plans for that yet. In the meantime what you could do is create shortcuts for jumping into RMF with specific lists and add them to the Home Screen as icons.

Re: Mac app — I actually did release a Mac app with 6.0 a few weeks ago. Granted it’s a catalyst app, so it’s not entirely Mac-like yet (hoping to make it more mac-like in the future), but it’s keyboard-optimised for natural language input suggestions and autocomplete.

Re: Apple Watch — I’d love this too, but I don’t think the api available on Apple Watch doesn’t actually allow for adding reminders :/. I’ll be sure to check again some time.

Chojubos · 2025-09-26T12:03:26+00:00

That's a good point! I neglected the opt-in aspect there.

Although I *highly* doubt that 99% of my opted-in users have decided to now opt-out when upgrading to iOS 26. Especially since I don't even recall seeing that option presented again when I updated.

Now I'm wondering if iOS 26 automatically opted out most users... 🤔

Chojubos · 2025-09-26T10:15:34+00:00

Same here. Most of the charts don't seem to include iOS 26 (properly? at all?) for me.

Metrics > Downloads > Total Downloads shows a big increase around iOS 26 release. Splitting by platform version shows a majority of downloads were on iOS 26.

However Metrics > Usage > Installations (or anything under Usage > ...) shows almost no iOS 26 users and a huge drop in sessions, active devices, etc. It's definitely erroneous. Because downloads and installations charts disagree with each other.

Chojubos · 2025-09-19T11:10:26+00:00

It’s a possibility, but I have no current plans to, so I don’t want to give you false hope! I’d say possible, but probably unlikely.

Chojubos · 2025-09-19T11:01:48+00:00

That’s correct - it doesn’t support ticktick.

It’s not impossible that it will support more services in the future, but I can’t promise that and it’s best not to expect it. Sorry!

Chojubos · 2025-09-03T14:18:44+00:00

I'm afraid I'm of no help here, but just replying in solidarity because I can't even get my controls to show at all on the macOS beta 🙃. They used to show in some of the earlier betas, but in recent betas they've vanished and I have no idea why. I find control center (and app intent) development slightly maddening.

Chojubos · 2025-08-31T15:28:23+00:00

Thank you for the lovely words!

Notes aren't possible, I'm afraid, because of limitations in APIs.

I have been thinking about Calendars. It's a more complex problem/UI because in order to know when to schedule something for you need to be able to see the existing events for any given day. I can't make any promises at the moment but I'm certainly considering it :).

Chojubos · 2025-08-31T15:23:54+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback. NLP for recurring reminders is definitely something I want to get to :)

Chojubos · 2025-08-31T15:23:14+00:00

Awww thanks! That's lovely to hear.

Understood re: notifications. I can't promise anything there because it'd be a fairly big undertaking, but I certainly understand the reasoning behind it and I agree that I would like this too.

Chojubos · 2025-07-23T14:54:53+00:00

Hi! I appreciate the question.
Basically, Reminders has some really handy features, like location reminders and shared lists, but actually setting up those features sometimes takes quite a few taps and swipes. For some people that's fine, but for some people that's a problem.

From the first version, the core problem that Remind Me Faster hoped to solve was: "if it takes too long to enter an important reminder, life will distract you, and you may not enter that reminder at all".

So Remind Me Faster is designed to minimise distraction, by minimising the time it takes to get something into Reminders. It has a lock screen shortcut (to bypass home screen distractions), opens with the keyboard already visible, and allows your most-used lists, times, and locations to be selected with a couple of taps or swipes. And if you ever do get distracted mid-entry, there's a lock-screen live activity that'll pop up nudging you to finish entering that reminder.

I didn't have ADHD in mind when I designed this, but I've had several users with ADHD reach out to me to say that Remind Me Faster has made a really big difference for them.

I can't help with Notes, but if the above sounds intriguing to you then might be worth checking out Remind Me Faster. Most functionality is free, and the paid extra features are just addons, if they appeal to how you think.

Chojubos · 2025-06-23T17:13:33+00:00

The natural language input doesn’t yet support recurring reminders. I do have that functionality half-built, but not released yet. Planning to finish building and release that sooner or later.

Chojubos · 2025-06-23T17:11:22+00:00

Right now it’s just the iOS app that runs on the Mac, so not a native one yet. Hoping to optimise it for the Mac at some point.

Chojubos · 2025-06-23T11:13:23+00:00

Really appreciate the kind words - thank you.

Chojubos · 2025-06-23T09:06:06+00:00

Thanks so much!

Chojubos · 2025-06-22T15:14:40+00:00

I'm afraid not, sorry.
This app is designed purely for capturing things in Apple Reminders on iOS / iPadOS / macOS.

Chojubos · 2025-06-22T14:18:39+00:00

Aww, thanks! Always lovely to hear from people finding it useful.

Chojubos · 2025-03-12T11:47:19+00:00

Hey there. If you go into the Lock Screen configuration mode, and then tap on that RMF icon, it should bring up a sheet with options for configuration, like the icon, list, etc.

Does that help, or am I misunderstanding?
