Maybe you should try a iOS app called micro-alert.

Absrtact: A colleague of mine had recommended a startup project for me, I asked him what he was doing, and my colleague's answer was to do the reminding function. I am a bit strange, the mobile phone is not all with the reminder function, such a small thing can be taken to start a business? And then I tried to play it.

A colleague of mine had recommended a startup project for me, and I asked him what he was doing, and the colleague responded with a reminder function. I am a bit strange, the mobile phone is not all with the reminder function, such a small thing can be taken to start a business? Then I tried to play with the iOS app called "Micro-reminders," and my view changed.

Not suspense, this is called micro-reminder software is to do reminders. In addition to the traditional time-dimension reminders, it is creatively blending into two new features: one that sets reminders to each other (with friends), and one that can set reminders based on geographic location information.

To be more specific, you want to meet a friend in the company to drink coffee, you can use this app to set up a company based on the location of a reminder, so that your friend to the company downstairs automatically trigger a reminder message to you, let you know he has come, then you should go downstairs, Then you can have a cup of coffee with joy.

Do not underestimate these two points, some things are often our own easy to forget but very important to others, at this time if you can set a reminder by the other side will be more convenient. This use of logic changes is interesting, the memo tool was closed, micro-reminders to chisel open a small door, "remind" this matter has become two-way circulation, but also generated some social interaction between people. The addition of geographic information adds another new dimension to "reminders", and richer information can be used to make reminders more precise and humane.

Tao, founder of the micro-alert, told me that the app was a product he made with a designer friend. In his view, micro-reminders are not very "existential" applications, but they are hidden behind the scenes to help plan your life. This is mainly through the acquisition of various external information (geographical location, time) to achieve the trigger design based on the life scene.

In addition to triggering reminders, Tao that the future of people and devices, people and services, perhaps also in this way to generate interaction. For example, when I stay on weekdays at eight or nine o'clock in the company, the mobile phone through the geographical information should guess I was working overtime, when the phone automatically trigger a query I want to not be hungry, the reminder of the order of takeout, it seems very intimate.

Overall, this is a small and beautiful product, if you want to know the specific features of this product and use, can be found in 36 Krypton Next, click here. In addition to the micro-reminders, there is a similar application called status in foreign countries.
