Cronote reminders are visualized with a button. These buttons provide enough visual cues to make it stand out; bringing a spark to the receiver while making sure they understand the reminder. Cronote also makes it fun for the user to remember stuff like movies they need to watch, music events they need to go to, and health advocacies they should be aware of.

This app can also be used to increase your website conversion rate by adding remind buttons to your product pages, and landing pages. In the same way that Amazon uses wishlists, The Remind button will help customers be notified in the future if they are interested in your product but are not ready to buy yet. This provides a more streamlined experience to customers.

Once installed, you must give the application authorization to access your Gmail account. Then it will redirect you to Emailga.me where it will open unread emails from your inbox one by one. Your task is to read and respond to it within 90 seconds. You can either reply to the email, skip it, archive, delete or boomerang it (boomerang archives the email and brings it back after an allotted time defined by the user).

If you complete the task before the timer is zero, you get points. If you want to stop the game, you can click on the pause button in the top left corner and close the tab/window. One thing which I don’t like about the application is that it automatically adds an email signature about the Email Game.
