Life's Reminder

Life's Reminder is a practical tool that remembers important upcoming events in your stead, such as birthday parties, meetings, appointments or bills.

Designed as a Metro application, the reminder tool can be downloaded and installed on desktops and touch-supported devices running Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 straight from the Store.

It's packed in a simple Modern UI that holds options in the app commands bar, which can be brought up to the screen by right-clicking.

To add a new event, specify the name, date and time, description, acceptable overdue (ranging from 0 to 7 days) and recurring mode (daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, bi-monthly, quaterly, half yearly, annually or doesn't repeat).

It's also possible to pick the category for bills, appointments, offers, dinner, lunch, doctor, birthday or anniversary, as well as to make the event private.

You can create as many events as you want, edit their properties, discard or remove them from the list, mark tasks as completed, as well as sort them by due date, name, category, frequency, allowance time, and privacy mode.

The database with information is created locally and can be found as Reminders.xml and Categories.xml. Unfortunately, there are no options implemented for creating custom categories or setting audio reminders when tasks are overdue.

Although there are no features available for copying, printing or saving data to file, it's possible to take a screenshot of the window and share the picture using an external Modern UI program, whether you want to save the image to file or send it to a friend.

All things considered, Life's Reminder has useful features for reminding you of important upcoming events. It's simple and free.
