Hi Product Hunt community 👋,

The Best Reminder App is a lightweight Chrome extension that lets you create flexible reminders in your browser for tab URLs or notes, with support for specific dates, times, or repeating time intervals. What started as a simple way to create quick browser-based reminders has grown into a reliable productivity tool used by thousands.

This launch brings two of the most requested features to the extension: Cloud Sync and Email Reminders.

Cloud Sync


Active reminders are now backed up to the cloud and automatically synced across your devices. It’s still local-first—meaning reminders work offline instantly—but they’ll sync when you open the extension popup again. This makes it easy to restore your reminders if you reset Chrome or switch browsers.

Email Reminders


You’ll now get emails for synced reminders even if your browser is closed or your device is asleep. For reminders that happen frequently (like hourly), we bundle them into a single digest email to avoid spam. Less frequent reminders are sent as individual emails. All email logic runs on the server, so there’s no need for an active browser to get notified.


Would love to hear what you think, what you'd like to see next, or how you use it in your workflow! Thanks!


Other functionality includes:

  • Custom Reminder Intervals

  • Right-click reminder creation

  • Past reminders page to filter, sort, and export

  • Active reminders page to filter, sort, and export



The extension is also compatible with Brave and Microsoft Edge browsers.

Is there a possibility to group some reminders to "categories"? :)

Stephen Siegert

@busmark_w_nika Yep! This is certainly a possibility and something that I've been evaluating and collecting feedback on. Any thoughts on what you'd expect the functionality to provide?

Nika

@siegerts It would help me to be more organised. E.g. native Mac tool enables to categorise things under "hashtags" – so when I do not understand an exact task/reminder, I will use a KW (hashtag) and I am searching this way :)

I think I can use this instead of keeping 100 tabs open and hoping I come back to them "later".

Stephen Siegert

@aishwaryalohi Yep! This is the perfect use case. And you can use the reminder page to manage, filter, and export at any time.

Love seeing tools that respect how messy real-life scheduling can be. This isn’t trying to replace my calendar—it’s helping me actually remember the stuff I care about. Would be cool to see smart snooze options down the line!

Stephen Siegert

@ngocphuc_1910 That's the idea! Simple, flexible, and a good UX. Smart snoozing is interesting, what are your thoughts? How do you envision that?

Joey Judd

Ngl, browser-based reminders are a game changer for forgetful folks like me—no more missing deadlines just cuz I closed a tab. Super smart idea!

Stephen Siegert

@joey_zhu_seopage_ai Yep! They get the job done without creating another extra process!

Samanvaya Pant

Any support for smart recurring reminders (e.g., skip holidays) in your roadmap?

Stephen Siegert

@samanvaya_pant TBH, this is the first I'm hearing of skipping holidays but I'll dig into this a bit. Any specific holidays and/or holiday calendars that you have in mind here?

Gin Tse

Cloud sync for reminders right in my browser? That’s so smart—no more forgetting stuff between devices, tbh. Love this idea, you guys nailed it!

This Chrome reminder extension is pretty solid. It’s simple to set up, doesn’t lag, and the notifications pop up at the right time—no extra fluff. Helps me not forget small tasks when I’m buried in tabs. Worth a try if you need something straightforward.
