Story Hour: FroReminds — Because Life Gets Busy Sometimes the simplest ideas come from the most ordinary moments. You walk into a room and forget why you went there. You remember a birthday—two days late. There's an appointment you were absolutely certain you wouldn't forget. Then the phone rings, somebody needs something, the day gets busy, and suddenly that appointment is tomorrow morning. That's life. And that's where the idea for FroReminds came from. I wasn't trying to invent another complicated piece of technology. In fact, I wanted almost the opposite. I wanted something simple. Tell it what you need to remember. Let it help you remember it. That's FroReminds. One Less Thing to Carry Around in Your Head We carry a surprising amount of information around every day. Doctor appointments. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Bills. Meetings. Renewals.

That's been part of the thinking behind FroCore from the beginning. FroReminds isn't about trying to out-Google Google or replace every calendar on somebody's phone. It's about building a small, focused service that does one important thing and tries to
