What is Sudden Reminder?
I built Sudden Reminder because I often forgot the thoughts and motivations that mattered to me. It’s a simple reminder app that randomly shows the words you’ve written — gentle nudges to stay grounded throughout the day. No subscriptions, no ads — just a one-time purchase. Available on App Store and Google Play.
