RemindMe.exe: Keep Your Tasks on Track
In this article, I want to share a program I created that helps me keep track of my tasks while working on Windows.
I needed something lightweight, portable, distraction-free, and developer-friendly—with no fancy features, no team collaboration, just for me. A simple CLI program to monitor my daily tasks and easily update their status.
The Program
v1.0.0
In Brief
The program stores input data in a structured text file (reminders_by_remindme.txt), and everything is managed around it. You can add a reminder with a title, and its status is automatically set to "wip". When you complete it, the status field is updated with the completion date. You can also list your "wip" reminders in the CMD interface.
You can mark a particular reminder as completed using its ID!
Since it’s a text file, the content can also be easily read and modified offline. However, depending on your screen size, the formatting may not always look perfect, so it’s recommended to use the program itself.
Commands
Here’s the list of commands:
- tda: add a reminder (usage: tda <title>: <reminder>)
- tdd: mark a reminder as completed (usage: tdd <ID>)
- tdl: list all NOT completed reminders
- tdq: quit the program
- hel: print help
Conclusions and Links
That’s it. Since I’m a bit lazy, I just placed the executable inside the Windows startup directory so it runs automatically.
