Ask HN: Gmail Equivalent for Inbox Reminder Shortcut on Android?

1 pointsby spirover 6 years ago
I&#x27;m a heavy user of Google Inbox Reminders.<p>I have a reminder icon on Android&#x27;s bottom bar. Looks like https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;ap8yXEB<p>Tapping it opens up a new reminder; one tap to open it, I write it, one tap to save it.<p>With Inbox going away, does Gmail have anything similar for Android?<p>Inbox reminders really suit me-- easy creation, snooze until date&#x2F;place, unified emails&#x2F;reminders gives an action list and only one app to check.<p>My current solution is to have a Gmail Compose shortcut on Android home screen, tap it, set recipient to myself, and use the subject line as the reminder.<p>Google Calendar has an &quot;add reminder&quot;, but my reminders are mostly orthogonal to my calendar and it&#x27;s harmful to have them in the calendar. Also there&#x27;s no &quot;Quick Add Calendar Reminder&quot; widget for Android.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;1205&#x2F;
