What is MIND?
MIND is a self-hosted reminder application that delivers push notifications to your devices with second-level accuracy. You can schedule one-time alerts, recurring reminders at custom intervals, cron-based schedules, or manual triggers activated by pressing a button. Notifications route through the Apprise library, which supports over a hundred platforms such as email, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Pushover, and many others. The responsive web interface lets you sort, color-code, and search your reminders. An administration panel handles user accounts, system settings, and automated database backups. MIND runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows using Docker, Docker Compose, or a manual Python setup. It stores data in an embedded SQLite database and does not require any external services. The project is considered feature-complete and continues to receive bug fixes and security updates.
