Cloud Reminders

There are tons of reminder apps out there, but it's so hard to remember to check them! We made an app that automatically syncs the phone and computer to show reminders on the computer using sql server

Inspiration

Reminder apps are needlessly complicated and when I actually remember to put something on them I'm too busy and I eventually forget. We wanted an app that connects our phone to our desktop so we can quickly enter ideas when we think of them and they'll all show on the computer when we're ready to work

What it does

Using SQL Server and various GUI Repositories it allows a device to connect to a SQL Server running on a desktop so that whenever the app is opened on the desktop it shows all unread reminders. Added support for multiple people which required relational database SQL too.

How we built it

We used GITHUB for version control, Tkinter and Kivy for the python GUI, pyodbc and SQL Server to run and connect to the database, and buildozer to add the app to android

Challenges we ran into

Buildozer is out of data and takes 30 minutes even when resulting in an error, so we ran out of time for that part

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully connected different PC's/devices to a single SQL Server and did real-time updates and query.

What we learned

We learned a lot about how server and SQL Severs work. This was our first project with Python, so we learned a lot of project structure and GUI as well.

What's next for Cloud Reminders

Cloud Reminders would be perfect for team project with duedates and a management system, so we would upgrade the user table in the database to allow for roles and allow assignments to be posted to others.
