Photo Reminders

Create clear visual reminders by snapping photos with this productivity app.

It’s perfect for anyone who needs more than a long list of text reminders to ensure the job gets done.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

It’s so much easier to recall important events and ideas when you can actually see them, which is why we’re recommending Photo Reminders. All you have to do is snap a photo of something related to the event or idea you want to recall later, and then add a title and note. The photo will be turned into a large thumbnail, which can easily be viewed, edited, and shared from the main screen. Additionally, Photo Reminders allows you to attach audio notes and alerts to all of your events and ideas.

If you’re more of a visual person, Photo Reminders will help you get the job done much easier. The large thumbnails allow you to quickly and easily recall information without digging and searching through text lists.

If you have a lot you need to remember, you might want to avoid Photo Reminders. It’s fine if you only have a handful of things you need to remember, but once you get into the double-digits, the app becomes quite cumbersome.

If for some reason you don’t enjoy watching slow motion videos in reverse, don’t download Reverser. That’s really the only reason not to try it.
