Features

Mind the Gap track board listing the day’s reminders by time, showing things like “Standup” and “Lunch”

A track board that shows you what is next.

The whole day stacked by time, color-coded by calendar. Glance at it once and you already know whether you can grab a coffee.

A nearly full-screen Mind the Gap arrival window with a live countdown, event details for “Standup” with a link to a Zoom meeting, and buttons for quick snoozing

A window so big you can’t miss it.

When the next thing is about to start, a calm but nearly full-screen arrival window takes over with a live countdown. It’s hard to miss.

Snooze and reschedule controls on a Mind the Gap reminder

Snooze or reschedule in two clicks.

Quickly change when you get notified for each event, so you’re notified exactly when you need to be.

The Mind the Gap new-reminder form with “Pick up the milk” entered

Your web calendars, or a quick one-off.

Subscribe to any ICS feed — Google, iCloud, Outlook, your team’s — and meetings flow onto the board. Or type a one-off straight in when something pops up.

And lots of little things…

  • Global hotkey. A system-wide shortcut brings the board forward from any app, any time.
  • Menu-bar countdown. Time until the next thing rides along in the menu bar — “1h”, “12m”, “now”.
  • Quick timers. Right-click the menu bar to drop a 5-, 15-, or 25-minute timer on the board.
  • Pick your window. Arrivals can take over the whole screen or live in a small, draggable panel.
  • Customizable presets. Pick your own lead times and timer lengths.
  • Any ICS feed. Subscribe to Google, iCloud, Outlook, or any URL — multiple feeds, side by side.
  • All-day rules. Separate timings for all-day events so they don’t interrupt.
  • One-click join. Meeting links in calendar events open straight from the window.
  • Custom calendar colors. Override the feed colors so each calendar reads at a glance.
  • Custom themes. Light, dark, or a palette of your own — applied across every window.
  • Typography. Pick a custom font and dial the size up or down.
