Chapter 6. Making a Reminder Application

Note to self…

To-do lists, alarms, birthday reminders, notes, shopping lists, and the list goes on. There should be an app to keep a list of the different apps that keep lists! At the time of writing this book, there were already over 8,000 iOS apps that were lists, planners, or alarms. Perhaps, there's room for one more…

It could take a lot of research, and money, to explore all the reminder apps that are out there. The majority of apps will have a lot of features that you'll never use and at least one vital feature that is missing. If you're lucky, some combination of apps may do all the things you want in a reminder. However, don't forget that you use LiveCode and can make your own reminder app!

In this chapter, we will:

  • Discuss what is meant by a reminder

  • Create some time measuring utility functions

  • Define a data structure to store information about an event

  • Make use of mobile device "notifications"

  • Create a flexible reminder app
