For the last 7 years I have provided Simply Remind Me as a free app for people to send themselves reminders for events like birthdays, anniversaries, appointments and renewals (MOT, insurance, etc.)
It was designed for people to send themselves reminders - hence the name, Simply Remind Me.
Back in October 2023, I teased a complete re-imagination of the “event” in Simply Remind Me.
An event is anything you want to be reminded about… a birthday, anniversary or doctor’s appointment. A reminder is an individual email, text or voice call related to an event.
Almost a year later, and I’m ready to invite people to the new event/reminder experience in Simply Remind Me.
I've added a new feature to the website for Simply Remind Me - my free email and simple text reminder app. The website now shows live statistics, read directly from the Simply Remind Me platform.
The statistics show the number of new users, events created, reminders sent and the number of unique timezones the app has users registered in - since the start of 2023.
As of the time of publishing, these are the current statistics:
It seems like everyone is suffering from rising costs and unfortunately my applications are no exception.

Software updates are a necessary evil on any device – from your smartphone, to laptops, through to servers and routers.
Updates for devices running the Linux operating system come in the form of packages. Using the Linux system’s package manager, you install new packages and upgrade them as new versions are released.
Earlier this week, I gave a sneak preview of version 3 of Simply Remind Me – my free e-mail and simple text reminder app.

With the new version, there is also a brand-new website. The site is similar in content as the previous one (if it ain’t broke, why fix it?) but has a bolder and more modern look.
It’s been four years since the last update to Simply Remind Me – my free e-mail and SMS (text message) reminders app. Since the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020, sign-ups have increased significantly. It’s therefore a perfect time for a refresh and an update.
This blog post shows you a preview of the new-look Simply Remind Me – version 3 – launching soon.
There are some major changes – such as a new look layout – but several subtle changes to improve your experience using the app.
Announced around a year ago, Microsoft today released their brand-new version of Edge – the default web browser since the Windows 10 release.
The new Edge browser is based on Google’s Chromium project. Chromium is the “base” software that Google builds the Chrome browser on.
It’s 3 years to the day since I made the first commit to what would become Blue Twilight – my open-source PHP photo gallery.
Today I’m delighted to announce the availability of Blue Twilight Cloud.
Blue Twilight Cloud allows you to run your own photo gallery as an alternative to sharing your photos on Instagram, Flickr, Facebook and Twitter.
