Overview

Finger Strings is a focused reminder app for iPhone and iPad built around one promise: helping you stop forgetting the things that genuinely matter. Instead of acting like a broad to-do list or project manager, it is designed for appointments, calls, deadlines, departures, and other moments that cannot slip. You create a "string" with a deadline, and the app works backward from that moment to schedule a sequence of escalating alarms across days, hours, or minutes before the event. Each alarm requires explicit acknowledgement, making it harder to swipe away and lose in ordinary notification noise.

The app also encourages richer reminders by letting you capture the five W's: what, when, who, where, and why, so an alert arrives with the context needed to act. Live countdowns appear on reminder cards, completed reminders remain available in history, and the interface supports both dark and light modes. Recent updates added monthly recurring strings, selectable alarm sounds, configurable default alarm layers, smarter Quiet Hours behavior, and improved alarm links.
