Mobile Notes
The Mobisle Notes app allows you to create notes and reminders in two styles: plain text style and list style, where you can specify lists of things to do, for example.
A special feature of this application is “Lock”, which allows you to keep any reminder secret. In order to edit or read a blocked notification, you must enter a preset password. However, you can delete such a note without a password.
In the settings, you can change the time format, language, sorting of notes, change and set a password, or restore a deleted reminder.

Application shortcuts.
Tap and hold an app icon for a couple of seconds to launch various shortcuts (yes, we know it's part of Android Nougat, it also mimics Apple's 3D Touch).
Application shortcuts 2.
Notably, Samsung has also programmed shortcuts for its native apps just like the camera.
Online doctor consultation.
Samsung Health has a new tab called Experts. If you subscribe to a service provided by Amwell, you can see a doctor at any time (Russian-speaking users are out of luck here, as usual). If you have registered for this service, you can tell your doctor what is bothering you and get advice from your phone.
One-handed operation.
Samsung did this a long time ago, but now everything looks different.
Turn this mode on and you'll be able to shrink the screen at any time (it won't shrink right away when you turn it on). You can scroll diagonally or press the home button three times to shrink the screen. The setting button you'll see makes it easy to switch back. Can you imagine the irony? We've spent so much time getting away from tiny screens, but sometimes we want to go back to them. Plus, everything looks amazing in this mode. Stripes of color.
Look closely and you'll see a thin blue line around the edge of the screen. Some notifications trigger this thin edge, but it doesn't show up for very long
Applications button.
I like to go to the home screen to get to my apps.
But if you prefer the Applications button, you can use it. Performance mode.
The Galaxy S7 had an offline gaming mode and a battery optimizer, but this option is new to the Galaxy S8.

In theory, you could see even more information on the Always-On display, but we haven't been able to get it to work yet...
Reminders.
Samsung's Reminders app is also a good place to save links you encounter while using Samsung's own browser.
Do you want more?
There are even more advanced features and customization tools inside, many of which are carried over from the Galaxy S7 and earlier models.
We all have things that we sometimes forget. Living in a world full of information, we are often distracted from the main thing - what we strive for and what we want to achieve. Reminders not only increase productivity, but sometimes remain the only support in the daily chaos of tasks, meetings and assignments. You can create reminders on Android in different ways, including using applications, the best of which we will look at in today’s article.
It's more of a to-do list tool than a reminder tool, but it's still a great tool for busy people. The application wins over users with its stylish interface and functionality. It works great and also syncs with your PC via a Chrome extension or a standalone Windows app. At the same time, you can work even offline.
Here you will find all the standard functions for maintaining a to-do list. The only negative is that the reminder function itself, unfortunately, is only included in the paid package. It also includes creating shortcuts, adding comments, uploading files, synchronizing with the calendar, recording audio files and archiving. Considering that these same features are available for free in other apps, it may not make sense to pay an annual subscription unless you are completely and irrevocably won over by the app's impeccable design.
Any.do
Much like Tuduist, from registration to premium features. However, there are also fundamental differences. First and foremost is the user interface and how you interact with the application. Unlike Todoist, you'll find many more features in the main window, beyond the one big plus sign in the bottom right corner. Eni.du displays all events: today's, tomorrow's, upcoming and without deadlines. This way you can immediately see the big picture of what needs to be done.
Once you've completed a task, simply swipe your finger across the screen—it won't disappear, but will appear crossed out, allowing you to assess your productivity level at the end of the day or week. Any.do is not limited to just a reminder function, on the contrary, it is a full-featured to-do list tool, so feel free to give it your preference if you are not afraid of advanced functionality. The paid version is much more affordable than Tuduist, and the 7-day trial period allows you to try premium features for free.
To Do Reminder with Alarm
A narrowly focused application designed specifically for creating reminders. The most useful features: Google voice input, the ability to set a reminder some time before the event, automatic adding of friends' birthdays from Facebook profiles, email account and contacts, creating reminders for other people by sending them to mail or to the application (if installed at the addressee).
Additional features include the ability to choose between a light and dark theme, set an alert, set the same reminder for every minute, hour, day, week, month and even year (for example, pay bills once a month), and create a backup. The app is free and there is a modest fee to remove ads. The main drawback: lack of translation into Russian.
Google Keep
One of the best apps for taking notes and reminders. Like other tools created by Google, Kip is tied to your account. You can take notes in a variety of ways (probably the most creative application for taking notes): dictation, adding audio recordings, photographs, drawings. Each note can be assigned an individual color. The result is a kind of tape of what is happening in your life. In the same way, you can keep a personal diary, share entries with friends, archive, create reminders with a location (in other reviewed applications, many of these functions are available only in the paid version).
Once you complete a task, simply swipe it off the screen with your finger and it will automatically go into the archive. The main thing is not to get carried away with creating colorful notes and not to spend too much time on it. The application is completely free, there are no ads.
TickTick
First and foremost, it is a to-do list tool, like several of the other apps discussed above. However, this does not mean that it cannot be used to set reminders. As a rule, applications of this type are convenient to use for different purposes, avoiding the installation of many highly specialized tools. TikTik is designed for those who strive to increase productivity. In addition to compiling a list of tasks and reminders, there is a special function for working with the Pomodoro technique.
Like most of these applications, a voice input function is available, but it is much more convenient to use: the dictated task automatically appears in the to-do list for today. Similar to To Do Reminder, notes can be sent to friends via social networks or by email. Reminders can be sorted by assigning them different priority levels. By purchasing a paid subscription, you can take advantage of premium features, such as: viewing tasks in the calendar by month, additional widgets, setting task duration, etc.
Task list
A convenient application for maintaining a to-do list with reminders. Unlike TikTik, there is no way to prioritize, but all your tasks are grouped into lists: work, personal, shopping, etc. In the settings, you can specify how long before the start of the task you would like to receive a reminder. For notification, you can connect a voice notification (speech synthesizer), vibration, or select a signal.
Like To Do Reminder, you can enable a task to automatically repeat after a certain amount of time (for example, every month). Unfortunately, there is no option to add additional information and materials to a task, as is done in Google Keep. Overall, the application is not bad and is perfect for simple tasks and reminders. Free, but there are ads.
Reminder
Not much different from the Task List - the same simple tasks without the ability to add additional information, plus synchronization with a Google account. However, there are also differences. There are no lists here, but tasks can be added to favorites. The functions of assigning a color marker and selecting a notification in the form of a short sound notification or an alarm are also available.
In addition, you can change the color theme of the interface and adjust the font size, make a backup, and also select a period of time when you do not want to receive notifications. Unlike Google Keep, here you can set the reminder to repeat hourly. The application is free, there is a narrow strip of advertising at the bottom.
BZ Reminder
As with most apps in this series, the developers took Google's simplified material design as a basis with a large red plus sign in the lower right corner. However, this tool is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Attention to detail is what sets it apart from its competitors. When adding a task or reminder, you can not only enter a name (by voice or using the keyboard), set a date, select a color indicator, but also attach a contact or enter a phone number.
There is a special button to switch between the keyboard and the notification settings mode, which is much more convenient than pressing the “Back” button on your smartphone every time. Additionally included is the ability to send a reminder to another recipient, add birthdays, and view tasks in the calendar. Disabling ads, synchronizing with other devices and advanced settings are available after purchasing the paid version.
It’s not difficult to use reminder apps; it’s more difficult to train yourself to spend a little time in the morning planning the upcoming day, to get everything done and not to forget anything. Therefore, a convenient and lightweight tool is suitable for this purpose, which will delight you not only with its design, but also with trouble-free operation. By the way, when creating reminders, don’t forget to look at the energy saving settings section of your smartphone and add the application to the exceptions list.
is an excellent, convenient application created for devices running on the Android platform. This creation was created for people who constantly forget about something. Judging by the name of the program, it is easy to guess why it is needed. Now you no longer need to ask relatives, colleagues, friends to remind you of anything. It is worth noting that this program is distributed free of charge.
There are many useful functions, a comfortable interface that even beginners can easily understand. There are no age restrictions. You can download the project on tablet devices and smartphones. The required version of the Android platform is 4.0 or later. The team of creators made sure that you can use the “shopping list”. Human memory, naturally, is not rubbery. We all tend to forget things, but sometimes it has unpleasant consequences. To avoid them, use the suggested program.
Enter tasks into it, and at the appointed time you will hear a sound signal, and then see a text revealing the essence of the reminder.
The program "" supports many languages. There is Ukrainian, Russian, as well as German, Arabic, English and many others. The application will remember everything in order to issue a reminder in time. The visual design of the project is quite modest, but it does not need to be flashy. Functionality should always come first! The developers did a great job on the project, making it intuitive and as convenient as possible.
If you don’t make reminders on your smartphone because you don’t want to search for a calendar for a long time, go to the desired menu and then write everything with your finger on a not-so-convenient touch keyboard, then we have released the “Remember Everything” application for Android especially for you.
Its main difference is the ability to press a button and leave a reminder in voice mode in Russian. The first click is to open the program, the second is to click on the record button - and then tell me what needs to be done and when.
And if you are uncomfortable talking at the moment, then the developers have provided the ability to enter a reminder text in the usual way.
The asceticism of this application deserves a positive assessment, because there is nothing superfluous in it. On the main screen you have a field for entering a text reminder, a button for recording a reminder by voice, and a menu for specifying the date. There are no logos, banners, pop-up ads: only the necessary tools.
The same laconic and most useful style is maintained on the second screen, where a list of active and completed reminders is displayed.
Basic steps
As with any organizer, you can not only create notes, but also edit them. At any time, you can open a task and reschedule it for another time, change the contents of the note.
It is possible to restart an already completed task by activating it again and setting different due dates.
Also, at the moment you turn on the reminder, you can immediately mark the task as completed or postpone completion for some period of time.
