This online task reminder tool has a simple interface where you enter the assignee’s email, task description and your email along with the time when the task needs to be completed, be it today, tomorrow, next week or month.

Once you hit send on the form, the other person gets an email like the one in the screenshot below. Now if that person doesn’t complete the task and marks it complete by clicking on the link in the email, both of you get notified, everyday, until the task gets completed.

A simple tool which could prove to be an effective task reminder.
