Reminder software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reminder software is a type of time management computer software that is designed to alert the user of important events that they have inputted into the program. Most programs provide a calendar and/or list view of events, as well as a reminding technique. Most common reminding techniques are pop-up dialog boxes and auditory alarms.

Events may include birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, various one-time events. Often the software comes with a set of pre-installed events (such as holidays), and allows user to create custom events.

As software gradually makes the transition to web services, a number of online birthday reminder services has appeared.
