I used to constantly think of things I needed to do when I got back to my Mac. I would dump them into Notes or Reminders, but then I would either forget to open those apps, or I could not set a meaningful time for the reminder because I did not know exactly when I would be back at the Mac.

So I built WakeMinder to tie reminders to one thing I always do: waking my Mac.

Here are some real-life moments where it actually helps:

🏃You’re out for a walk or at the gym

You remember something important you need to do when you get back to your desk. You send it from your Apple Watch or iPhone, close the screen, and forget about it.

Later, you open your Mac and WakeMinder quietly shows that reminder first, before anything else can distract you.

🚆 You’re commuting or sitting on a train

You think of a task for “when I get home” or “when I reach the office.”

You send a quick reminder from your phone. The next time your Mac wakes, that reminder is there waiting, right on time, without you having to go look for it.

📚 You’re reading an article on your iPhone

You find something you want to properly read or act on later on a big screen.

You share the link to WakeMinder. When you open your Mac, your browser opens automatically on that exact article so you can continue where you left off.

💼 You’re deep in work and get pulled into something else

A call, a Slack thread, or an email drags you away from what you were doing.

When you come back and wake your Mac again, WakeMinder shows you the reminder or link you left for yourself, so you go back to your original plan instead of wandering into random tabs.

🧠 You often open your Mac and just… blank

You know you sat down with a purpose, but the second the screen wakes, your brain flips to email, social media, or anything else that pops up.

WakeMinder gently puts your own “next move” in front of you first, so you act on your intention instead of whatever shouts the loudest.
