RemindMe
RemindMe is a macOS menu bar reminder app that lets you create quick timed reminders, focus prompts, and battery alerts from anywhere.
What is RemindMe?
RemindMe is a native macOS reminder and focus utility that lives in the menu bar and helps you set quick alerts without interrupting your workflow. It is designed for people who want fast, lightweight reminders from the keyboard instead of managing a full task system. You can create timed reminders with natural language style time tokens such as @5m or @1h, open a command window with a global shortcut, and receive native macOS notifications when a reminder is due. The app also includes a status board for reviewing reminders, tracking focus time and snooze counts, and starting temporary stay-awake sessions. Extra tools such as periodic break prompts and low-battery alerts make it useful for long work sessions on a MacBook. RemindMe is published by Samir Patil and built for modern macOS systems.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
RemindMe is a legitimate macOS utility distributed as an open-source app. Its notification access and launch-at-login behavior are consistent with a reminder app, and battery monitoring is consistent with its low-battery alert feature. Some features such as global shortcuts, wake control, and battery alerts may run in the background while the app is active. If you install it outside a trusted source, confirm that the app name is RemindMe and the bundle ID is com.samirpatil.RemindMe before keeping it.
Recommendation: Keep RemindMe if you use quick reminders, focus prompts, or battery alerts from your menu bar. If you no longer use those features, you can remove it like any other third-party Mac app, but you may also want to turn off launch at login first if you only want to stop its background activity.
