Meeting reminders for ADHD brains
When you're deep in focus, a small notification in the corner doesn't stand a chance. BigReminder puts your next meeting in front of you, full screen.
Why normal notifications get missed
Many people with ADHD describe hyperfocus and time blindness: you look up and the meeting started ten minutes ago. Standard calendar notifications are small, quiet and gone in seconds, so they're easy to tune out.
BigReminder takes a different approach. It interrupts you on purpose, with one clear message and the meeting link one click away.
What helps
Hard to miss
The reminder covers your screen, instead of a banner that disappears in a few seconds.
Time to switch gears
Remind yourself 5, 10 or 15 minutes ahead, at the start, or several of these for the same calendar.
A sound that keeps going
Pick an alert sound per calendar and let it repeat until you respond, or for a set time.
No hunting for the link
The Join button opens Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, GoTo Meeting or Skype straight from the reminder. Enter joins.
A live countdown
See how long until the meeting starts, and a nudge about how long ago it started if you are late.
Snooze when you need a minute
Push the reminder back 5, 10 or 15 minutes (Pro).
