How it works

Four steps to better nudges

01

Create the reminder

Type what you need to remember and schedule it your way — every N hours, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, a custom interval, or a one-time trigger. Add a heads-up before the event and limit it to a date range if you like.

ReminderDrink water
WhenEvery hour
Notify me5 min before
02

Pick a character

Choose from 30+ built-in characters, browse the in-app Marketplace for thousands more, or upload your own photo, SVG, or Lottie file. We'll cut out the subject so it floats cleanly across the screen.

Style the notification

Pick the accent, background, title, and subtitle colors — with a live preview as you go — so every reminder card matches your vibe (or your desktop theme).

Let it float onto your screen

At the right moment, your character appears — it might fly, parachute, run, launch, float up, walk by, drop, or pop in. Dismiss it with a click, or let it vanish on its own.

Animation styles

Ten ways to show up

Each animation has a personality. Flyby, Run By, and Walk By work left-to-right or right-to-left. Pick the one that matches your mood, your message, or your meeting.

Float

Bobs gently into view and hovers in place until dismissed. The default — calm and unobtrusive.

DefaultGentle

Parachute Drop

Descends from the top of the screen, swaying side to side before a soft landing. Perfect for wellness nudges and stretch breaks.

WellnessBreak reminders

Flyby → ←

Streaks across the top of the screen with your message. Impossible to miss — best for urgent alerts and hard deadlines.

UrgentDeadlines

Run By → ←

Dashes across the top of the screen at speed. Energetic and impossible to sleep through.

Stand-upsEnergy boost

Rocket Launch

Blasts up from the bottom of the screen. The most dramatic way to kick off a deep-work session.

Deep workDramatic

UFO Abduction

Drifts across the screen trailing a tractor beam. Alien-approved for end-of-day wrap-ups.

End of dayPlayful

Float Up

Rises from the bottom of the screen and drifts out of view. Light and dreamy — ideal for mindfulness prompts.

MindfulnessGentle

Walk By → ←

Strolls across the top of the screen at a relaxed pace. Calm and collected for easy-going tasks.

Midday walksRelaxed

Spider Drop

Lowers from the top of the screen on a thread, like it's rappelling in to deliver the news.

PlayfulAttention-grabbing

Pop Up

Scales in from the bottom-left corner with a quick pop. Snappy and out of the way of your work.

SnappyOut of the way

Every one of these plays with any character — built-in, downloaded from the Marketplace, or your own upload.

Stretch Cat

Yoga pose, bell collar. Appears when you've been hunched too long.

Walk Dog

Leash in mouth, ready to pull you outside for a midday loop.

Peacock

Struts in and fans out. For the reminder that deserves a little drama.

Built-in

FAQ

Questions, answered

RemindMeow runs natively on macOS, Windows and Linux. All apps use floating overlays that sit right on top of whatever you're working on. Mobile isn't supported yet.

Yes. On the Pro plan, upload any photo, Lottie, or SVG and it becomes your reminder buddy exactly as you made it. Automatic background cutout (ML segmentation) isn't available yet — it's on our roadmap.

Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Connect one or both. RemindMeow reads upcoming events and floats a nudge a few minutes before each one starts.

Yes, on both macOS and Windows. The overlay window floats above full-screen applications. On macOS, if the system blocks the overlay, RemindMeow falls back to a native notification so you never miss the alert.

We don't offer refunds once a payment goes through. Instead, you can cancel anytime and keep Pro access until the end of the billing period you've paid for — after that it simply doesn't renew.

Cancel anytime from your account settings or by emailing info@remindmeow.com. You'll keep access until the end of your current billing period — no partial-month refunds, the cancellation just stops future renewals.
