I made a reminder app with customtkniter in Python. It is a fairly simple app with a simple purpose to ask me if I brought my keys or not.

It logs everything into JSON. Finally it is supposed to be scheduled with a local scheduling app to run everyday whenever you return to your house (and i hope that you haven’t lost your keys.)

My Stupid Ahh Reminder

Well, I actually forget my keys alot and whenever I am out, I have to stay extra aware of where my keys actually are. I have got them stuck to my bag, but still they get misplaced. So I thought of using python to build a notfication system.

This is just a customtkniter script that is supposed to be run at a given time with the windows scheduler.

I first of all had built the app with tkniter, but looking at how ugly and outdated it looked. I quickly changed my mind and switched to customtkniter.

I built the core functionality:

Two buttons (affirmative and negative)
Text label
Buttons functionality
JSON logging.

The major error I faced was when I switched from Tkniter to CTk. I just used the replace button, bcz to be honest I have never used CTk nor tkniter before.

Well bcz of knowing python, I got the hang of it pretty soon. I had fun building this one. I also got pretty nostalgic, bcz the last time I wrote python was in 2023 when I was learning CS50. That was the first time I learn python.

It is nostalgic bcz so much has changed in these 3 years, it is overwhelmingly shocking.
