JJ Reminder

If you’re looking for a freeware and easy to use reminder, search no more because JJ Reminder is one of the simplest applications in this particular software category.

As compared to the other similar apps out there, JJ Reminder brings the whole alarm configuration process to just three different options: name, time and message.

The very basic GUI is mainly focused on these three options, so once you launch the app you have nothing else to do than to provide a name, pick a time and write down a message to be displayed together with the alarm.

The application allows users to set up a sound for the alarm engine, with support for MP3, WAV and MIDI formats. You can automatically save the alarms and settings when you close the app, which is quite a helpful option in case of a reboot.

JJ Reminder works okay on every Windows version on the market and doesn’t require special user privileges on newer flavors of the operating system.

As you can see, JJ Reminder does what it says, but it still lacks very important features that can be often found in many other similar apps. For example, you cannot launch a task together with the alarm, such as a computer shutdown or a restart.

But to sum up, JJ Reminder is a basic tool for those who don’t want more than a simple reminder. It has the simplest interface you’ve ever seen and only a bunch of configuration options.
