KDL Memo
Your smart memo, always on your desktop.
✓ · +10m · +30m · +1h
A real yellow memo that lives on your desktop. Type “call John tomorrow at 3pm”, press Enter: it comes back on time, even if it was hidden. Linux and Windows, no account, your notes never leave your computer.
🟨 Always there
The memo stays on the desktop, moves where you want and remembers its place. Hidden, it keeps watching and reappears by itself when a reminder is due.
⏰ One-sentence reminders
“In 10 minutes”, “tomorrow at 3pm”, “demain à 15h”: understood without any artificial intelligence. One-click snooze (+10 min, +30 min, +1 h), local history.
🔒 Your data stays with you
Local database, no account, nothing sent to KDL TECH. Without a cloud AI, nothing leaves your computer.
🎤 Dictation and AI, if you want them (Pro)
One-click offline dictation, local AI installed on demand (1.1 GB, no Internet), or your own OpenAI API / Anthropic API key. Never required.
Free or Pro?
One program, two editions. Free is genuinely useful; Pro adds voice, AI and Spanish.

Do I need an AI to use KDL Memo?
No. Reminders, due times and simple phrases work without any AI. AI is an option of the Pro edition.
Is a ChatGPT or Claude subscription enough for cloud AI?
No: you need an API key from the provider (OpenAI API, Anthropic API), billed per use. KDL Memo says so clearly in its settings.
Where are my reminders?
In a local database on your computer. Uninstalling removes the program, never your data.
