Ormy: a reminder app that keeps nagging you until you actually do it
A is building Ormy, a reminder app aimed at people with ADHD but positioned as useful for anyone busy or juggling a lot. The core complaint driving it: most reminder apps only work if you open the app, which defeats the purpose when someone's life is chaotic. Ormy instead keeps re-notifying every 5, 10, or 20 minutes (user's choice) until the task is marked done, then stops for the day.
It uses a distinct notification sound so it's instantly recognizable versus other pings. It also offers staged pre-reminders — for example, a heads-up 2 weeks before a birthday, then 3 days before, then on the day. It supports every reminder type: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and one-time.
Instead of filling out forms, users can just talk to a built-in AI to set a reminder.
