GlassNudge

GlassNudge is a powerful reminder tool designed specifically for macOS.

When a reminder expires, it takes over the entire screen until you complete it, handle it later, or turn the reminder off, preventing notifications from being ignored, badges from being missed, or prompts from appearing on unseen devices. It resides in the menu bar; clicking the bell icon allows you to quickly create reminders using natural language. These can be used for everyday tasks such as getting a drink, replying to messages, getting up, checking the oven, locking the door, taking medication, and checking emails. The software addresses time perception difficulties and focus-focused scenarios, offering features like quiet periods, smart later reminders, more postponement options, and pausing all reminders. Reminder data is saved locally by default, requiring no account, server, or tracking; when AI parsing is enabled, you can choose a trusted AI service or use a local large language model. GlassNudge supports both short-term and long-term reminders and is suitable for macOS users who need to force themselves to pay attention to important matters. It requires macOS 13 or later and supports Apple Silicon Macs.
