For the things you only find out about too late — passports, insurance, inspections, warranties. By the time you notice, it has already cost you.
The problem
Each of these is rare enough to forget and expensive enough to matter. No to-do app is built for them, because not one of them is due today.
The difference
This is the part other reminder apps miss. A passport reminder on the expiry date is worthless — the passport has already expired.
Minda sets two reminders: one for when the thing is actually due, and one for however far ahead you want to hear about it.
Six months before a passport. A week before the dentist. Any interval you like — hours, days, weeks or months.
The rest of it
Something four years out is treated as seriously as something tomorrow.
Your list is ordered by what is closest, so the next thing is the first thing you see — whether that is tomorrow or in 2031.
Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or any custom interval. Set one for the 31st and it lands on the last day of short months, then returns to the 31st.
What is coming next, without opening anything. Tap a row to tick it off from the home screen.
Reminders are scheduled on your phone, by your phone. Nothing needs a connection to fire — on a plane, abroad, or in a basement.
Privacy
Minda carries no advertising SDK, no advertising ID, and no analytics or crash SDK from anyone else. It asks you for one permission: to notify you.
Your reminders stay on your phone. If you choose to sign in, they are backed up so you can move to a new one — that is what signing in is for, and it is optional. The privacy policy spells out exactly what that uploads, in plain words.
Minda is free. Premium adds unlimited reminders, full history and backup across devices — and there is a one-time purchase for people who would rather not have another subscription. Nothing you have already written is ever taken away if you stop paying.
