Windows tray app for one-shot, repeating, and burst-interval reminders. Shows Windows toast notifications and persists reminders as local JSON — a desk utility I built and run daily.
- One-shot reminders at a specific date and time
- Repeating reminders inside a daily window (including overnight windows such as 22:00 to 02:00)
- Burst sessions with short intervals, optional breaks, and cycle limits
- System tray icon with dashboard and quick add
- Optional sound with each toast, with optional randomization across the five non-looping Windows notification sounds
- JSON persistence under
%AppData%\ChronosDesk\reminders.json - Layered Core / Infrastructure / Ui solution with manual composition root in
App.xaml.cs - 33 xUnit tests for persistence, trigger-time logic, burst state transitions, and scheduler ticks
- Windows CI build via GitHub Actions
