On time
9:30
It rings and reads the reminder aloud.
Full-screen, big letters, a real bell for ten seconds — and a voice that says what it is: “Take your blood pressure pills.” You don't have to find your glasses.
Keep your days in order. Get reminded until it's done.
GranMemo helps you organize your work and your life — schedules, appointments, medicine, bills, the call you keep meaning to make. When the time comes it rings, says it out loud, and comes back ten minutes later until you tap Done.

How a reminder works here
Most reminders tap you on the shoulder once. This one waits for an answer.
A notification you swipe away is a notification you forget. GranMemo treats every reminder as a small loop that only closes when you close it.
No answer?
9:40
It comes back ten minutes later.
Until you confirm, the reminder stays at the top of your Today screen marked “still unconfirmed,” and it rings again. Missed it while on the phone? It catches you up.
Your call
Done
Three honest buttons. Nothing vague.
“Done” closes it. “In 10 min” or “In 1 hour” pushes it. “Skip today” skips this one time — tomorrow it's back to normal. No mystery “dismiss.”
Several things at the same minute? They line up on one card and ring one after another — you tick them off one by one. Confirm a late-night reminder after midnight and it's still recorded on the day it belonged to.
Organize work and life
Everything a day needs, and not one screen more.
Three tabs — Today, Calendar, Settings. Adding a reminder takes three taps: what, which kind, when.
🗓️
Schedules, appointments, and the things that repeat
One-off appointments or a standing schedule: daily, weekly on the days you choose, monthly, yearly. Each category brings sensible defaults — a checkup reminds you an hour early, a bill the day before.
📅
A month you can read across the room
Big date numbers, a dot on every day that has something. Tap a day to see its list, add right there. Hold the arrow to fly through months.
🔊
Bell, voice, vibration — your mix
Pick text only, a bell, a spoken reminder, or all three. Voice reads the reminder in the language you set. Preview any alarm before you save it.
🔠
Text size that applies everywhere
Standard, Large, XL. Not just one screen — every label, every button, the whole app grows together. Touch targets stay big either way.
📴
No account. Works offline.
Open it and start. Reminders live on your phone and keep ringing with no signal. Nothing leaves the device unless you turn on Family Assist.
🕰️
Time the way people say it
“7:00 PM,” not “19:00.” The Today card says “in 25 min,” not a timestamp. Travel with it and reminders follow your phone's clock — no settings to touch.
🌏
English and Chinese, side by side
Switch the interface in one tap. The Chinese edition, 好记性, shows the lunar date alongside the calendar — the detail many grandparents actually check first.
Four ways to see it
Pick the colors your eyes like.
Contrast is a personal thing. GranMemo ships four full themes — not just a dark toggle — tuned with older readers in the room.

Family Assist
Set up Mom's appointments from your own phone.
Turn on Family Assist and a family member can add and edit reminders for you from their browser, anywhere. You stay in charge — it's off by default and pairs with a code you read out loud.
- Turn it on. Settings → Family Assist → Enable. A pairing code appears on the phone.
- Family opens the web console on their phone or computer and types the pairing code.
- A 6-digit number pops up on your phone. Read it to them. Five wrong tries and the code expires.
- Done. Reminders they add appear on your Today screen within seconds. Re-pair any time to cut off old links.
Privacy, plainly: until you enable Family Assist, nothing is sent anywhere. Once enabled, reminder content and the pairing record are stored on our server so linked family can manage them. You can unlink in one tap.

Who it's for
Designed so a grandparent can run it. Which means anyone can.
Every choice — the size of the type, the number of buttons, the words on them — was made with older readers in mind. The result is simply an app that doesn't waste your attention.
≥ 56 pt
Minimum touch target. Buttons you hit on the first try, standing on a bus, without looking twice.
3 taps
From “Add” to saved. What to remember, which kind, when. No accounts, no wizards, no tours.
0 ads
No feed, no upsell, no streaks. A reminder app should be quiet until it has something to say.
