Keeping track of regular tasks—whether it’s a weekly team meeting, a monthly bill, or a yearly health check—can quickly become overwhelming. Wise Note is a lightweight, free note-taking app for Windows that lets you set reminders and have them repeat automatically. Below, you’ll get detailed, easy-to-follow steps to get you up and running in minutes.
Step 1. Download and Install Wise Note
You can download and install Wise Note easily from here. Open it directly after installation.
Step 2. Create a Recurring Reminder
On the Wise Note home screen, you will see a bell symbol for reminders. Click on it, then tap the “+” icon to add a new reminder.
1. Name the reminder and set a specific time to execute the task.
2. There’s a dropdown menu labeled “Repeat”. Here you can set how often you want the reminder to recur:
- Daily: Good for everyday habits or medication.
- Weekly: Perfect for meetings or weekly chores.
- Monthly: Ideal for bills or reports.
- Yearly: Great for birthdays or anniversaries.
For weekly reminders, you can usually pick specific days. For monthly reminders, you might choose a certain day of the month. Adjust these as needed.
3. Set priority for reminders from the Priority drop-down menu: Low, Medium, and High.
Step 3. Edit and Save the Reminder
You can use various text editing features to set up the details. Then click the Save icon in the upper right corner to save the reminder. You’ll see a small colored exclamation point icon next to your note’s title, showing that a reminder is active with a priority.
Step 4. Manage Your Reminders
You can check and manage your reminders easily.
- View All Reminders: Click Reminders in the sidebar to see upcoming, overdue, or completed reminders.
- Edit or Delete: Put the cursor on each reminder, and you will find there are two options: Mark as Completed and Delete, which allow you to manage your reminders easily. If you want to edit it again, click on the target reminder to get started.
