Sam Beckman's creator brief hit close to home. He said "If it's not a reminder, it's not happening" — and that's true for a lot of us. But his pain point was specific: as a phone reviewer, he constantly switches between iOS and Android, and every time he does, he loses all his reminders. No app on the market does all four things he needs — cross-platform sync, custom snooze from the notification, powerful recurrence, and a clean UI.

So we built setit. Set it. Forget it.

The core idea: the notification is the interface. You set a reminder once and interact with it entirely through notification actions — snooze for exactly the duration you want, or dismiss, without ever opening the app. Dismiss on one device, it disappears on all of them. No zombie notifications on old phones. No rebuilding your list when you switch platforms.

We kept the free tier usable (10 reminders, 2 devices) because reminders aren't a luxury — they're how some of us function. Pro unlocks unlimited everything for the power users.

The biggest lesson wasn't technical. It was that a "simple" reminder app isn't simple at all. The hard part is respecting people's time — firing at the right moment, in the right timezone, on every device, and getting out of their way.
