Reminders that
do not go away.

Every reminder gets its own card on your Lock Screen and stays there until you deal with it. Swiping the card away is what marks it done — you never have to open the app at all.

Finish

One swipe, without unlocking.

Swipe the card off your Lock Screen and the reminder is complete. A repeating one rolls forward to its next date by itself. There is no confirmation step, no list to open, and no app to launch.

  • The gesture is the completion
  • Repeats advance on their own
  • Works from the Lock Screen, locked

Write

Say it the way you would say it.

Type “water the plants every Tuesday at 8am” and Linger reads the schedule out of the sentence. It shows you what it understood before saving, so nothing is ever silently misread. Every repeat you would actually want is there without a form to fill in.

  • Daily, weekdays, every Tue and Thu, the 1st
  • Shows you what it parsed before it saves
  • No pickers, no forms

Keep

See what it adds up to.

Every reminder keeps a grid of each day you ticked it off — months of it, readable at a glance. Streaks count themselves. Archive takes something off your Lock Screen without losing its history, and brings it back on its next real date rather than five months overdue.

  • A completion grid per reminder
  • Streaks that count themselves
  • Archive that preserves the whole history

The details

Built to be lived with.

Several cards stack without turning your Lock Screen into a list. Home Screen widgets carry the same reminders, and the large one shows the streak grid at a glance. Fourteen colours mean you know which is which, and dark mode is lit properly rather than dimmed.
