Notifyer Beta

Be inspired

Why?

I made Notifyer, to help me remember and practice my mantras.

What does it do?

Using Microsoft’s OneNote as a datastore, Notifyer utilizes OneNote’s API to retrieve a random note from a given section.
Use case?

• Get a daily quote from your curated collection.
• Effortlessly resurface a buried quote and re-apply it to the present.

How to use

Requirements

• OneNote Account (app accesses consumer notebooks only).
• MacOS (Only 64bit binaries are provided for MacOS, and the minimum MacOS version supported is MacOS 10.9).
• Windows 10, 7 (without notifications).

Get Started

1. Sign-in or create a free OneNote Account.
2. In your default/primary notebook, create a section with the name Quotes.
3. Add a couple notes to the Quotes section.
4. Download Notifyer. Run the app and sign in.
5. Just want to demo the app? Ping me and I'll send you credentials.

Help

• The app sends a notification every 5 minutes so you can easily see it work. You might want to change that to daily. (Restart the app if it doesn't stop).
• Random (via Chance) means you might see the same note in close succession.
• Cmd+Alt+O triggers a random note even when the app is minimized.
• Clicking the notification opens the app.
• The app displays a preview text snippet (max 300 characters) for each note.
• Clicking the note title in the app opens the source note in the OneNote client or web app.
• Disabled fields mean you can't change that setting just yet.
