HOURLY REMINDERS
Remember the hour while it is still fresh.
Hourly Journal gives you one quiet prompt during the hours you choose. Your phone schedules them itself, so nothing depends on a network or a server — the reminders still arrive in airplane mode, underground, or with the app closed.
A reminder that fits your day
Start and stop when you do
Set wake and sleep times that match your routine, so nothing arrives before you are up or after you have turned in.
Scheduled on your device
Reminders are handed to the operating system, not sent from a server. No push service, nothing to fail when the signal does.
Pick a sound you notice
Eight sounds on Android and six on iOS, chosen per workspace, so the Work journal need not sound like the one at home.
See what is actually scheduled
Notification Settings shows the permission status, how many reminders are queued and when the next one lands, with a test button beside them.
How to start hourly journaling
- 1
Choose the hours you want to be prompted in, and how often.
- 2
Pick a sound, then send a test reminder to check it comes through.
- 3
When the prompt arrives, capture the hour in a few words.
When the phone gets in the way
Some Android manufacturers put apps to sleep aggressively, and a reminder that never fires is worse than no reminder at all. Notification Help walks through the battery settings for your make of phone, and Notification Settings tells you plainly whether the next one is scheduled. All of this is free.
Start with the next hour
One small check-in each hour puts your whole life in perspective
Free to start. Try it on iOS, Android, or the web.
