Cue - Smart Reminders
Type once, never miss a thing
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Most reminder apps remind you once. If you miss the buzz, your task dies silently in a list you'll check tomorrow. Cue is built on a different idea: a reminder's job isn't to fire — it's to make sure the thing gets done.
CAPTURE IN TWO SECONDS
Press one hotkey from any app, type "pay rent tomorrow 5pm", hit Return. Done. Cue understands natural language — dates, times, and repeats like "every morning" or "twice daily" — so adding a reminder never breaks your flow. A menu bar icon keeps today's list one click away, and a quick-add field is always waiting at the top of the main window.
IT WON'T LET YOU FORGET
Cue alerts you before something is due, then keeps re-alerting every few minutes after — until you mark it done, missed, or snoozed. No more one-and-done notifications swiped away and lost. Quiet hours make sure persistence never means 2 a.m. buzzing.
REPEATS THAT MATCH REAL LIFE
Clock-based repeats are wrong for half of life. If you take a pill at 2pm, the next dose belongs 6 hours after that — not at whatever time the original schedule said. Cue's flexible repeats count from when you actually completed the task, while appointments and deadlines stay on a fixed schedule. Mention a medication and Cue picks the flexible behavior for you.
KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Cue logs every completion and every miss, including overdue reminders it marks missed for you. The History table is an honest, sortable record of what got done and when — invaluable for medications, routines, and anything a doctor, or your own memory, might ask about later.
CHANGE YOUR MIND, ANY TIME
Marked something done by accident? Undo it. Need to push a due time, change a repeat, or fix a title? Every reminder is editable in place. Nothing in Cue is a one-way door.
YOUR WHOLE DAY, EVERYWHERE
Today and upcoming reminders live in the menu bar and the main window — and sync through your own iCloud. The free Cue: Smart Reminders app for iPhone brings the same reminders to your pocket and your Apple Watch. No account, no sign-up, no tracking.
Cue is for the things that genuinely can't slip: medication, the form due Friday, the call you promised to make. Capture it in two seconds, and let Cue carry the weight of remembering.
