Live Minder was built by independent developer Sethu Senthil under his company Vibin LLC, and it is designed around a simple observation: a to-do list hidden inside an app is a to-do list you forget. Instead of asking you to adopt yet another task manager, Live Minder reads and writes to the Apple Reminders database you already use, then renders those tasks as persistent Live Activities so they stay visible from the moment you pick up your phone.
The app covers the practical loop of daily task handling. You can mark reminders complete straight from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island, create and delete items, jot quick notes without opening another app, and theme the live notification so it blends with your wallpaper. Because everything routes through Apple Reminders and iCloud, changes made on the iPhone appear on the iPad and any other iCloud-connected device almost immediately.
There is also a generative angle: Live Minder can call on ChatGPT to draft lists for you, for example packing lists, ingredient lists or shopping lists, and it exposes Siri Shortcuts support so you can automate flows like adding a task by voice or clearing completed items on a schedule. The app requires iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later, is free to download, and offers a Pro upgrade as an in-app purchase. The developer states that reminder contents stay private to the user, with only anonymised activity data collected for analytics and crash reporting.
