Desktop reminder and task schedulers

This cluster comprises desktop and mobile reminder apps that schedule one-time, recurring, or interval-based notifications, often with local storage, tray support, and customizable alerts. The dated history shows sporadic entries from September 2014 through November 2025, then a small uptick in mid-2026 with two entries each in June and July. Traction leaders are marking-calendar and StarSleep (both 2 stars), followed by Desktop-reminder (1 star).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
