Looking for a good desktop app for Windows 8 that will do reminders and stuff. Like at 2pm pop up "Time to take mid day meds" Anyone know anything like that?

@BrightEyedDyer They do email reminders. I don't think they do pop ups. Worth checking.

@jessmahler hmmm...I get pop ups on my phone and my Mac/iPad. But those might be because of the emails. What about just setting an alarm?

@BrightEyedDyer Windows alarm apps I've found are JUSTS alarms. They go off with a sound or music, but won't give a notification or reminder.

@jessmahler I don't know about Windows, but do you have an Android phone? I use Dosecast (free) for reminders that repeat at a time of day. "Eat breakfast," "take meds," "offer to make tea" :)

@naga Needs to be desktop. Michael never looks at the phone notifications and is on his desktop all day, so if he's going to see it the phone won't work.

@jessmahler
Ah, well. I'm a Mac user, since work pays for my laptop.

Turns out that Windows has a built in Task Scheduler that does this.
