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.

What changed

Nothing expires unnoticed.

What the app does on the user's behalf.

Ahead

reminders before renewals and events

2

note types: descriptive and checklist

One

calendar for every dated thing
