A simple yet effective macOS app for people who get easily distracted. Create quick reminders & start tasks on your desktop with just one click. Ideal for those with ADHD who need bold full-screen notifications.
I ve been working on this update for the past few months, and now DeskMinder is not just about reminders it s also about tasks.
A completely reimagined app, with every pixel on the screen refined
Added modes to switch between tasks and reminders
This notification app is a game-changer! It’s lightweight, fast, and incredibly convenient for keeping track of important reminders without cluttering my screen. The customizable options make it perfect for any workflow, and the interface is clean and intuitive. I can’t imagine my daily routine without it now! Highly recommend! 🚀🔥
Been using DeskMinder for a while now, and I love how simple it is to keep track of tasks without feeling overwhelmed🫣 Really glad I found it :)
Such a seamless and intuitive app! It feels almost invisible, yet it’s always there, making my daily routine smoother and easier. A perfect balance of simplicity and functionality!

Hey, Product Hunt! 👋
I’m thrilled to introduce DeskMinder — a simple yet powerful macOS app for short reminders, perfect for anyone who either loses focus quickly or gets so immersed in work that they miss typical notifications.
🔑 Key Features:
Instant reminder creation: set a timer (up to 99 minutes) simply by dragging.
Full-screen notifications: smoothly appear but are impossible to ignore. No more missed.
Flexible configuration: choose widget position and appearance or remove it entirely and invoke via hotkey.
Ideal for short tasks: anything from “turn off the stove” to “call the client back in half an hour.”
The app will be priced at $5.99, but for the Product Hunt community, we’re offering it free for two days. Give it a try, share your thoughts, and help us make DeskMinder even better.
Thank you so much for your time! We appreciate your feedback and ideas. 🙏

@dmitriychuta I'd love to use something like this for recurrent reminders. Think "drink water". Is that a feature right now?
Congrats on the launch and good luck!

@manuhortet No, that’s not available right now, but it’s a great idea to add recurring reminders with a set interval. We’ll definitely consider it! Thanks for the suggestion 🤩
@dmitriychuta I'd love to see the concept extended into a daily task tool that shows the time between tasks as a visual across top of screen. My future self thanks you!
Finally something compatible with my Apple Reminders. On my Mac, one of the most used feature. :)
Just out of curiosity: How this came to your mind to create it? + How long did the execution of the whole idea take?

@busmark_w_nika I was looking for an app that would allow me to quickly create notifications and always have a visual timer in sight so I could glance at it from time to time. Because of this, options like Siri didn’t work for me, and I usually just set a regular alarm on my iPhone for short reminders—lol, maybe I’m not the only one.
But beyond that, a fullscreen notification feature was crucial for me since I often work in modes with limited notifications and end up missing important reminders. I found apps that solved only one of my use cases, but not all at once, so I decided to create DeskMinder.
@dmitriychuta I think that Siri doesn't work for many of us :DDDD

@dmitrymomot Thank you! This feature is really important. I primarily created this app for myself because I often miss notifications in the top right corner of the screen when I’m hyper-focused. I’m really glad it will be useful to others too. Thanks for the feedback!
