In short
Remin Diary keeps the things people forget: a document that expires, a renewal date, a checklist. Notes can be descriptive or checklist style, documents are stored with their renewal dates, and the calendar and reminders surface them before the deadline rather than after.
The brief
The value is the reminder, not the note.
Anyone can store a document. The app had to know when it expires and say so in time.
What had to be true
Two kinds of notes
Descriptive notes and checklist notes, categorised.Documents with dates
Documents stored with renewal dates that the app tracks.A calendar view
Custom calendar with events, notes and renewals in one place.Reminders that arrive
Reminders and notifications ahead of each date.
What we did
We modelled dates as the core and notes around them.
Everything with a date feeds one calendar and one reminder engine.
01
Renewal as a first class record
Documents carry a renewal date the API tracks, with a reminder module that fires ahead of it.
The deadline is the data.
02
Notes that fit the task
Descriptive notes for context, checklist notes for doing, both categorised.
Two shapes of note.
03
One calendar
Events, notes and renewals shown together with a custom calendar widget.
One view of time.
