Gentle Reminder

Set Gentle Reminders That Actually Stick (Without the Stress)

If you’ve ever wished for a softer kind of reminder—one that nudges you without the buzz of urgency—this time-based gentle reminder tool might be just what you need. Whether it’s a mental breather, a gratitude check-in, or just a moment to stretch, this tool lets you schedule subtle prompts that align more with well-being than with productivity pressure.

A different kind of reminder

At its core, this tool helps you create personalized reminders tied to specific times and dates. But instead of default alerts or alarm sounds, these notifications arrive with calm visuals and tones like “Peaceful 🕊️” or “Motivating ⭐”. You can even choose to include optional features like breathing exercises or gratitude prompts, turning each reminder into a brief wellness ritual.

Why this might be your new favorite time tool

Most of us are overloaded with calendar pings and push alerts. This tool gives you a way to reconnect with your own intentions—not just tasks. It’s useful for breaks, emotional check-ins, gentle self-talk, or anything that gets lost in the noise of a busy day.

How to set up your first gentle reminder

The process is simple, with a few meaningful touches you can tailor:

1. Type your message. In the text box, write what you'd like to be reminded of. You can make it as thoughtful or light as you like—“Take a deep breath,” “Check in with how you feel,” or “Stand and stretch.”
2. Pick the time and date. Use the built-in inputs to choose when your reminder should appear.
3. Choose the tone. Select from options like “Peaceful,” “Motivating,” “Caring,” or “Mindful.” Each one has a different visual and emotional vibe when the reminder appears.
4. Set how often it repeats. You can make it a one-time thing, have it repeat hourly, daily, or only on weekdays. This is great if you want ongoing wellness nudges without resetting every time.
5. Add a breathing or gratitude option (optional). If you check these boxes, your reminder will include a calming breathing animation or a gratitude journaling prompt. Think of it like a short pause built right into your day.
6. Click “Create Gentle Reminder.” That’s it—it’s scheduled.

What happens when your reminder goes off

When the moment arrives, your screen gently slides in a notification with your message and chosen tone. If you added breathing or gratitude prompts, those will be included in the reminder view too—no separate app needed.

From there, you can either acknowledge it or snooze it for 10 more minutes. And yes, it even respects your repeat settings. If it’s set to daily or workdays, the system automatically reschedules it for next time without asking.

Extra features to know about

Real-time clock with format toggle

There’s a live clock in the corner to help you stay grounded in the moment. Prefer 12-hour time over 24-hour format? You can toggle between them with a single click, and it’ll update everything, including your scheduled reminders.

Smart scheduling checks

If you accidentally try to schedule a reminder for the past, the system won’t let you. It also prompts you if you’ve left anything blank. This helps make sure everything is properly set up before your reminder gets saved.

Automatic rescheduling for repeats

Hourly, daily, and workday reminders all roll forward automatically, even accounting for weekends. You never have to go back and manually recreate them. It’s all handled behind the scenes once you set it once.

Things you might wonder about

• Will I get notified if I leave the browser? If your browser supports notifications and you’ve given permission, yes. The reminder pops up like a soft push alert, even if you're not on the page.
• Can I delete a reminder? Absolutely. Every reminder has a small “×” button next to it—just click to remove it.
• Can I have multiple reminders? Yes, and they’ll all show in a scrollable list sorted by time. Handy if you want a few check-ins across your day.

Make room for calm in your schedule

This gentle reminder tool isn’t about staying “on task.” It’s about staying in touch—with your body, your energy, and what you need. Whether it’s once a day or once an hour, these prompts help carve out little windows of presence. And when life moves fast, a moment to pause on purpose can make all the difference.
