Hi,
The kind of reminders like sending sms,email are already available on google calendar, not locking the keyboard though :). As you said it’s already crowded marketplace

Obviously you’ll be targetting this on the people who spend all their time working at their computer (hence the locking keyboard, etc). But I doubt this would work because personally, I would rather use an alarm in my cell phone or just set an alarm in an alarm clock.

Well, if you happen to remember it though, the series of now unnecessary reminders will annoy the hell out of ya!

My solution is, just remember to read the reminders *mindfully*, and click the snooze button if you want it to come back! It’s free too! :)

On the other hand, you can fix the following problem: I use Outlook for reminders at work just like everyone else. There are times, however, when Outlook does not pop up the reminder in time because the application is in the background? something higher priority is running? I dunno.. Half the time I end up thinking “Don’t I have a meeting?”, bring Outlook to the foreground, and as soon as I do that, the reminder pops up. Yeah, well, thanks buddy!

Can you fix that? :)

Hi Benji,

One who is in sleep can be woken up. But one who pretends to sleep can never be woken up. :)

The idea you have is something similar to second one. Do you think that can really work out .Suppose if you find software like this, with you nature I bet you will write your own piece of code fetching the schedule form this software, and unlocking the keyboard when ever it finds some thing is going to happen :)

Anyway cool idea. But the marketing is tough. Punctuality is not something thing cannot be enforced through software and it’s a matter of personal discipline

I am a kind of guy desperately need of software like this .But I will think twice before buying this

It’s my personal thoughts. Waiting for more and more cool ideas.
