Ah, I’m sorry - it won’t work on Ventura :(. It’s not something I can realistically add support for either.
I’m even keen to drop Sequoia support sooner rather than later so I can rely on some OS26 APIs, which should allow me to make it a fully native Mac app (not catalyst).
Sorry about that!

Hey - I now have a build with (maybe) improvements to startup time if you’d like to test it out. I still can’t replicate the issue so your feedback would be super helpful! If you’re still interested, DM me your email and I’ll add you.

Sorry about that. I've heard from some others about the startup delay too, though I've not been able to pin down a culprit yet. It's not really something I experience so it's a tricky one. I did make some changes in 6.0 to try to tackle this but apparently it hasn't hit the mark. I'll keep trying!

Ah I see!
So you have the Mac version, thankfully. The App Store categorisation is incorrect.
Regarding the control center option, I’m not sure what else to suggest at the moment — I *think* this is just a Tahoe bug, one that I hope will be fixed soon. :/

Would you mind sending me a screenshot of Remind Me Faster on your Mac? Knowing what the UI looks like will give me a clear idea. Feel free to DM me if you prefer.
Re: Control Center, this requires macOS Tahoe. If you're running Tahoe then give this a go: bsky.app/profile/choj...

See these screenshots for adding it to menu bar. Note: Tahoe seems to have a bug where it sometimes doesn't appear in the cc options. If so, right click the desktop > 'edit widgets'. Opening the widgets menu sometimes refreshes Control Center options, weirdly enough. Hoping for Tahoe updates soon!

Great point about the keyboard! I should look into adding a keyboard toggle for this too. (In addition your your first point)

Appreciate the feedback! I'll certainly consider this.
In the meantime, in case you're unaware, after typing this you can remove the time by tapping the toggle in the bottom right.
But indeed it probably does make more sense for it remove the time automatically for this one.

Also I did just spot a text highlighting bug with those German repeat phrases, which I'll fix shortly...

Thanks for the natural language feedback. "every Sunday" structure isn't supported yet, but hoping to add that at some point. In the meantime, German example structures that should work:
• ... Dienstag 20 Uhr alle 2 Wochen
• ... morgen Monatlich / täglich / wöchentlich
• ... Dienstag 20 Uhr alle 2 Wochen
• ... morgen Monatlich / täglich / wöchentlich

Would love to add a global hotkey too. Not sure yet if that's possible with the catalyst app. I'm sure I'll manage it eventually though, somehow!

If your the mac window says "Remind Faster" next to the traffic lights then that's still the iPad version. The Mac version has no title there at all, just traffic lights.
Still not sure what's going on. Some people seem to be getting the Mac version, and some get the iPad version 😮💨

Yeah I’m getting the blank icon on the store page too. I have no idea why. Never released a Mac version before so I don’t know if I’ve done something wrong or the Mac App Store is just being weird.

Oh, that doesn’t sound right! Maybe it just needs more time to roll out properly to different regions. Try checking a bit later perhaps.

You can also launch it from macOS Tahoe’s new control center & menu bar.
A note on this — It doesn’t always show in control center right now, which *appears* to be a bug in Tahoe. If you hit this issue, try opening the ‘edit widgets’ menu first (I know, weird, but sometimes it works).

Heh, that’s one of the few variations I decided not to support yet because the weekday name can also trigger the time/date logic — it gets much more complex to handle reliably. Hopefully i can get that working in the future!
In the meantime your next best option would be “something saturday weekly”

Remind Me Faster’s sharesheet extension is now more reliable, working with more apps, and more helpfully formatting links (the API still doesn’t let me use the URL field though, sorry).

The core controls are grouped in liquid glass capsules, and subtly tinted to reflect the current list in dark mode.
I’m really enjoying the grouped styling, which I was actually considering prior to liquid glass. Tap highlights add such satisfying feedback to these heavy-use controls.
