It should be compatible with most editions and versions of Microsoft Windows including Windows XP and Windows Vista. An icon will be placed in the Windows system tray after installation which can be used configure the reminders.

A right-click on the icon of the reminder software opens a menu that can be used to set a reminder for a specific time in the future. About a dozen different options like setting one or five minute reminders are offered as presets. Another option is the ability to create a custom reminder by entering a value in minutes.

The only other option that is provided by Remind Me In is the ability to pick a sound file that will be played when the time is reached. Remind Me In is therefor more of an alarm clock software than a reminder software. It still can have its uses for some users, for example to remind the user to take the pizza out of the oven.

The software uses only about three Megabytes of computer memory while running. It would be excellent if the developer would add an option to add a note to the reminder. Remind Me In can be downloaded directly from the developer’s website.

Some people are able to keep track of everything in their head while others rely on conventional or electronic ways to do the same. A no thrills no frills reminder software for Windows computers is Mini Reminder. The small software program will remind the user of all kinds of events that have been added to it by the user. It comes with a pre-configured set of events that demonstrate the program’s functionality.

New events can be added easily to the software application. Each event consists of a date, a warning message and notes. The event can be set to repeat every year which is handy for birthdays and other annual events. The warning message will be displayed whenever the program is activated and the note can be displayed by hovering over a small icon next to the message.

The program will start to remind the user 10 days before the event and stop doing so 3 days afterwards. This can be changed in the options for all events or customized for specific events.

The preferences contain options to change the display of the warning messages which includes customization of the colors and fonts. Mini Reminder uses roughly 2.6 Megabytes of computer memory while running which makes it ideal for users who have no other means of keeping track of important events.
