Okay Google set a reminder with an alarm… you can automatically set a reminder via Google Now by speaking to your smartphone. For those that dislike talking to their iOS Siri, Alexa or Google Now due to privacy reasons, typing on an app is the way to go. Which is the best tasks, reminders and To-Do lists software that works across all major platforms such as Windows, macOS, iOS and Android? Currently I am using the infamous ‘Clear’ app on my iOS iPhone, the problem I have is it runs on 1 platform and I have no way of syncing it while working on my Microsoft Windows workstation.

Hey Ngan! I would also like to add a new calendar and to-do list in one as a Tweek, it is very simple and handy for daily usage. That`s what users actually like :-)
What is wrong with you? Google Keep is not only not a “best” reminder app,
IT’S NOT A REMINDER APP!!
Get off the internet, idiot.
You can set when and what time for the note to remind you of the task. You’ll receive a notification and email notification. Cheers.
It’s a notes app, yes. However, there is a reminder function built right in, and it works pretty well.
So I think you look a little foolish in attacking the author. Definitely out of line.
See I know because I use the reminder function as much as the notes.
So I think you need to take a step back and drop your head between your legs.
Smh.
Some people have such nerve anonymously on the internet.
