desktop reminder
Digital sticky note
A desktop reminder is a notification or alert that appears on a computer screen to prompt the user about a task, appointment, or deadline.
These may be built into operating systems, calendar applications, or standalone programs.
I set a desktop reminder for the meeting at 3 PM.
The term distinguishes screen-based alerts from physical reminders like sticky notes.
