FAQ

Why can I only set the timer for up to 99 minutes?

The app is designed for short-term reminders, so we focused on making sure creating a reminder takes no more than a few seconds.

How do I edit or delete timers?

To delete a timer, simply click on it. We don’t offer an editing feature because it would complicate the interface, and we aimed for maximum simplicity.

Do you only have the macOS version, or is the Windows version also available?

DeskMinder is developed for macOS, but a Windows version for ARM processors is also available, which you can buy here.

How do I set up syncing with Apple Reminders?

Go to the app’s Settings and enable the “Sync with Reminders” option. Once enabled, all your newly created reminders will appear on your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch).

How do I enable or disable full-screen notifications?

In the app settings, find the “Notifications” section. There, you can enable or disable Full Screen Notification and also adjust the notification sound.

Can I hide the widget from the desktop but still access it quickly?

In the same Settings section, uncheck “Show Always on Desktop” to hide the widget. You can then set a shortcut to quickly show or hide it whenever you need.
