Reminders that follow-up/escalate
I stopped trying to compete with Google Calendar.
My product, Reminders, was positioned as a generic reminder app. Wrong category.
The real value is:
Set an important care reminder. If nobody responds, notify a trusted backup contact.
That’s not a calendar replacement. It’s a lightweight safety net for family care dates.
Would you use this for parent checkups, kids’ vaccinations, or pet care reminders?

Important Deadline Reminders | Reminders by Very Simple Systems
Track important deadlines for passports, visas, licences, health appointments, insurance renewals, and other life admin.
Got my first real user for Reminders outside my network.
Their feedback: the setup flow feels too heavy for something called a “reminder app.”
That hit. The product is meant for important deadlines months away: passports, permits, renewals, insurance, follow-ups and not casual “remind me in 20 mins” tasks.
Now I’m debating the following options(in the poll)
What would you do?
Simplify the create flow to title + due date + create100%
Reposition from “reminders” to “important deadline tracking”0%

Looking for users to test a reminder service with SMS/backup contact. Value prop is that service follows up with you until you complete your task. Will provide free paid feature access. reminders.verysimple.systems
Deadlines/dates which are >5 months away are easy to forget. For e.g:
Documents - passport expiry, visa/work permit expiry, driver’s licence renewal, insurance renewals
Life - cancelling credit cards/software trials, scheduling health appointments etc.
Networking - following up with clients, keeping connections warm etc.
My tool takes these far-away deadlines and follows up with you on a regular basis until you complete your task. It will not let you forget. I also escalate to a backup contact(parent/friend etc.) if you do not respond to my notification.
My current goal from this post:
5-10 signups, with people creating real reminders. I will give free paid features access
