Cute Reminder Standard

Cute Reminder might be a cookie name for a software application, but this time, the developers got it right. No, do not expect flowers, balloons, or puppy-filled backgrounds, but an overall cute way of taking notes, storing ideas, and setting up accurate, on-point reminders. If you are the type of user whose lack of time pushes you towards such an app, then Cute Reminder is a sure bet.

Unlike other related programs, Cute Reminder has a smooth way of hiding its UI. When launched, you might think that the app is broken or has horrendous loading times. Luckily, it's neither of that, but you might want to look for a vertical orange line glued to the right side of your screen. The widget-like interface will pop-up once you hover the cursor over it.

Once you expose that first layout, you can use the symbols to jot down quick notes, ideas, and reminders. If however, you need to take a look at the settings and tweak the app a bit, you should access the Control Center — a more in-depth and normal-looking UI that packs all the app's functions and features.

Getting into the meat and potatoes of this app, you should be aware that in the case of notes and ideas, your screen will be peppered with little post-its. Newly created notes will instantly pop up on your screen, while ideas take a certain amount of time before showing up. Both instances can be freely and easily be re-sized and moved around the screen.

As for how the reminders work, they first need to be written and then programmed to appear. A reminder is triggered once its time runs out. The app has multiple time intervals, starting from 5 minutes up to a whole week and even years if you scroll through the calendar.

In conclusion, Cute Reminder holds true to its name and delivers a transparent, fun user experience, at least as fun as it can be while jotting down notes, ideas, and reminders. If you still find the app complicated somehow, the eight-step tutorial which pops up after the installation is the best way to instantly get accustomed to every aspect of this nifty tool.
