Configuration application

Setup and configuration

To use Best Reminder you should install and start the application, then configure the needed options (select the reminder sound you like, repeat interval, etc) and activate it. When Best Reminder service is activated there is no need to keep the application opened. You can close it not to waste your Excalibur memory.

Options:

• Reminder - Shows if the Reminder service is working currently or not.
• Remind about missed - Allows you to select which event to monitor and remind about unnoticed
• Remind period - If you have a missed call or a new sms and you didn't hear the initial sound (and didn't check for a missed call or a message) then Best Reminder will show "You have" window and will play alarm after the time specified by you passed and will repeat the alarm with specified interval until you notice it.
• Alarm - The application will play the selected sound in order to bring your attention to a missed call or a message.
• Time restriction - Of course it would be highly annoying when you receive a message at night and Best Reminder notifies you about it the whole night. That's why you can set up period when the application is allowed to notify you only (set "Time restriction" to 'yes' and in "Start time" and "End time" fields fill in the period when the application is allowed to notify you).

Notification window

Behind the screen

• Best Reminder is smart enough to notify about new incoming messages or missed calls only and doesn't annoy you when there's already noticed by you, but unread messages or missed calls.
   
• When you activate the service it remembers the current state and notifies you only on new events. Also if you've got, for example, 1 missed call and 1 unread message, then read the message only the program assumes you have seen all unnoticed events, saves the current state and will notify you on NEXT new missed events only.
   
• Best Reminder notifies you with your Excalibur backlight off. It doesn't turn the display on not to waste your Excalibur battery. It just powers on the speaker Excalibur, plays sound, and turns it off.
   
• When Best Reminder plays alarm sound it uses your current profile system volume. So if you use Silent profile or Outdoor one with maximum volume Best Reminder respects these settings.
   
• When Best Reminder is activated you can close the configuration application. Also it DOES NOT HAVE any daemon, service, or some module working constantly in background at all! Best Reminder uses latest Excalibur API - State and Notifications Broker to do the job. In simpler words, our application makes persistent requests for change notifications and when, for example, you have got missed call the system shell will start Best Reminder module just for a moment, for it to analyse the situation, do the job and instantly close itself, until started by the system shell again only when it is needed. So it doesn't waste your battery life running at background all the time, no need to worry that some 3rd party taskman will close it or your Excalibur will be restarted.
