Desktop reminders for everyday care
Maaa is a desktop reminder app built around gentle personal check-ins. It prompts users about everyday needs such as eating, drinking water, taking a break, moving, calling home, and maintaining morning or bedtime routines. On Mac, the app is presented as a small presence in the notch.
Users choose a language, tone, appearance, reminder types, and timing to create a routine that fits their day. The free experience includes everyday reminders, all 12 listed languages, and three tones; Pro expands the available appearances and adds several reminder categories and custom messages. Maaa supports macOS 14 or later and 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.
