MenuMinder 4.0

Never forget anything ever again!

Stay on top of important ideas and tasks by storing them conveniently as text reminders in your menu bar.

Reminders have three types:

• Alert windows
• Email messages
• SMS messages

Reminders are polymorphic! You can have all three types or just one.

Email and SMS reminders use the your current mail account to send them.

Use Preferences to set this up. Both SMS and email reminders require that you enter your mail account information: the email address for the account, mail server address, port and authentication.

For email reminders: Specify the recipient`s email address, usually yours.

For SMS reminders: Specify the recipient`s phone number and carrier email suffix from a popup menu for common carriers.

Clicking on the app’s clock icon in the menu bar will display all your reminders as menu items, sortable by:

• The time it is set to go off
• Its text
• The date it was created

Reminders are created from the menu.

Select “New Reminder…” from the menu to compose your message and set the date and time for it to go off in an editor window.

A convenient “Quick Reminder” popup lets you pick from a set of customizable times relative to the current time, or choose a date and time with the picker.

Use the Email and SMS buttons in the editor window to change their default values determined in preferences.

Select a menu reminder to edit or delete it.

Since the app runs in the menu bar you can create reminders while you work in another app.

Reminders can be repeating. In the reminder editor window click the Options button to specify a date and time interval to repeat the reminder. In options you can also request an alarm at some time before the reminder itself goes off.

A reminder can behave as an alarm because you can attach tasks to them. Click the Task button in the editor window to do so.

Tasks can perform these operations:

• Open a URL
• Play a song
• Open a document
• Launch an application

You can print all the reminders as a list to a printer or PDF, or copy it to the clipboard, in the same sort order as the menu items.

Import from Calendar! You can sync MenuMinder with your Calendar, creating reminders automatically for those events. Syncing will import the next week of events. You can sync from the menu or Preferences.

In Preferences you can assign a default task that will be assigned to every reminder you create.

Select “Preferences…” from the menu to configure the app.

Preferences include:

• Not displaying reminders as alert windows
• Sending email reminders
• Sending SMS text messages to your phone
• Specifying the mail server to use for email or SMS reminders
• Specifying a default task for each new reminder
• Customizing the “Quick Reminder” popup items
• Choosing a graphical or textual date-time picker
• Choosing the menu bar icon
• Syncing events with your Calendar
