Life moves fast, and most of it slips by on autopilot. Remindfulness sends gentle reminders throughout your day to pause, breathe, come back to the present, and remember who you really are.
These aren't generic wellness tips. The reminders included draw on a wealth of non-denominational spiritual teachings, the perennial wisdom found at the heart of every tradition yet belonging to none: presence, gratitude, surrender, compassion, and reconnection with your Source. Each one has been distilled into a practice simple enough to do in a few moments, in the middle of anything. If you walk a spiritual path, whatever its shape, these reminders will feel like coming home.
You have learned so many ways to reconnect with your Source, to bring your attention to the Present Moment... If only you could remember to do them throughout your busy day! Remindfulness is designed to run quietly in the background and gently call you back to your truth throughout your waking hours. This extends spiritual practice beyond isolated periods of meditation or contemplation. Woven into the fabric of your day, it can become a real way of life.
Over a hundred simple yet powerful practices have been created so that you can perform them easily, in the space of no more than a few moments, often without having to physically move or even close your eyes: a breath received with gratitude, a blessing silently sent, a question that dissolves the mind's chatter, a return to the awareness behind your thoughts. This makes them easy to do the moment they appear on your screen, no matter what else you might be in the middle of. And even when you can't read a reminder right away, for example while driving or in a meeting, the simple awareness of its arrival can be your prompt to spend the next five minutes being as present as possible.
FEATURES
- Over 100 beautiful practice reminders.
- 26 unique alert sounds, plus a Random option.
- Time reminders to arrive at regular intervals, or choose random timing and how many arrive within your chosen time frame.
- Custom reminder editor for writing your own. Then tell the app to use ours, yours, or a mixture of both.
- NEW: Import a whole list of your own reminders at once. Paste a column from a spreadsheet, or a list from your notes, one per line.
- NEW: Back up your reminders with a tap, then restore them any time through Import.
- Auto suspend and resume sleeps the app overnight and wakes it with you in the morning.
- Sound on or off at a touch, and share any reminder with loved ones via email or text message.
Customization lets you shape how Remindfulness works for you. Choose whether reminders arrive with an alert tone, and which one. Choose random timing, and how many reminders you'd like, or pick a regular interval that suits your rhythm. Suspend the app while you sleep, without quitting it, and reminders resume by themselves in the morning.
You can also write your own reminders and save them in a list, and now bring a whole list in at once, or back your list up for safekeeping. Tell the app to draw from your reminders exclusively, not at all, or shuffled in with ours via the Yours, Ours, and All options.
NOTE: For the best experience, allow notifications for Remindfulness in your device's Settings > Notifications, and open a reminder from time to time; iOS quietly pauses notifications from apps whose alerts are never viewed.
Please enjoy Remindfulness. I created it to help me, throughout my day, to return joyfully to the present moment. I hope it will help you do the same.

Wish it could be ported over to my Apple Watch so that the alert tone would work properly. Other than that, I would highly recommend it.
Great app, works great on my Apple Watch

No matter what spiritual or personal growth practice you are working on, using this app will automatically foster immediate and discernible results. The thorniest issue with our highest intentions is bringing them out of the quiet garden of our practice space and into the unpredictable hurly-burly of daily life. Remindfulness elegantly and simply solves that problem. The app gives you the option of creating your own reminders/affirmations/pointers and then randomly - you set how often one appears - you get the message, on phone or Apple Watch. It’s incredibly powerful to get a self-created message of wisdom or hope or empowerment and have it pop up when you’re being cut off in traffic, or doing the dishes, or watching The Crown. This is an app that I have been waiting for. It’s a game-changer if you want to be supported in breaking old patterns and creating and reinforcing positive beliefs and behaviors. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking the time.
Does not use my reminders
Suffers Nothing Gladly
The documentation advertises I can use my custom reminder text “exclusively”.Well no. It’s not designed to do that.No matter what configuration of text list you are allowed to use, the application *requires* you use “All” along with either “Theirs” or “Yours”. My results have been that even though I’ve configured settings to include “my” texts, I have yet to see any of my own.The stated intention of the application is an important one, and I was eager to integrate it into my day. It always seems that working on myself is easier than remembering to work on myself, and that “alarm clocks” are necessary.My own reminders work with the tradition I follow, and these are my “alarm clocks”. The only texts this application references suggest elongated exercises that require more focused time than just a reminder should take.

Hi! I am just reading these now and I was concerned to hear your aren't getting your own reminders so I just did a test - and it's working fine at this end. Have you tried deleting and reinstalling? That often fixes issues like this. Thanks for trying Remindfulness!
Exactly what I was looking for

I wanted something that would allow custom random reminders and this fits the bill! It prompts me to move when I’m doing computer work and also reminds me to assess if I’m staying on the task.
