Binder Reminder

It is intended for use by transgender men and other gender-noncomforming individuals, who bind their chest. If you have any questions about chest binding, here's the buzzfeed article for you: http://goo.gl/E0eacZ
The purpose of this app is to help people wear their chest binders the minimum amount possible, as they are somewhat dangerous to wear for extended periods of time. There is timed-based functionality which will remind you in the morning to set your binder as being on, and from that point will remind you to stretch every X number of hours and then to take off your binder after X number of hours.

In the future there will be location-based functionality which will allow you to set locations, such as your home. When you reach these locations, you'll be reminded to take your binder off. The notifications will also be customizable.

And iPhone version is in the works, but I can't give a definite date that it will be completed by. At least a few months away yet.

POTENTIAL ISSUES:I have been told that the take off alarm might not go off when it should. I am working on finding the issue in the code and will be fixing it as soon as I can. Please be patient, and if you're experiencing this issue, I would appreciate it if you could email me at [email protected] with details about which alarms are set, what times they're set for, and what is and isn't working. I haven't been having issues with it myself, and so am having trouble tracing the bug in the code.

Great reminder app works most of the time. When the app works its saved me on streatch reminders and to take it off. My andriod ran into issue that the app doesnt push notifications like it should after a while. I have to actively open and look at the app on screen to get it. Some phone hard resets/updates fix it for a day. Then ignores it like its treating it like spam. When it doesnt work i over wear my binder and miss stretches.

I love the general idea, because this is the first app I've found for people with binders to remind ourselves, but I often forget to click the button when I put it on, so maybe add an option for forgetful people like me (besides the morning reminder, because I'm known to ignore those). I'll be checking back soon! thanks!

I loved the options for backgrounds and that you can set personal messages. However the app doesn't let you go back if you wear the binder before setting the notification. also does not tell you how long you wore binder. Recommended 8/10

This app is a literal life-saver. I used to not wear my binder too often because I'd forget to stretch and I'd end up hurting myself. With the little reminders this app gives me I'm able to bind more often and in safer ways, and it's a huge relief for my dysphoria. I cannot recommend this app enough!

I love this a ton, it is super helpful!! I have ADHD and I never notice how long it's been since I stretched or anything and this is super helpful. I think it would be cool if it had different kinds of stretches for wearing a binder in it.

It's very nice but it is a bit hard to know how to use it. Doesn't tell me how much time is left. Doesn't tell me how long to stretch. Doesn't tell me how long I've had it on and I don't know if turning it off makes it restart the counter or continues when I press again. Overall, the only app that would help me to not die is not good enough for me.

Loved the idea of this, but it just won't notify me unless I have the app open for some reason. Completely defeats the purpose. I'm a bit disappointed because I couldn't find another app like this, but yeah. Hopefully there's a way to fix that.

I appreciate how it gives you reminders to stretch as well as telling you when to take off your binder. I also liked how sometimes it recognizes patterns in when you wear and put on your binder and asks you if you have put it on in case you forget to set a timer. My one suggestion is to add a option to wind the timer back, like if you put your binder on an hour ago but you forgot to set the timer.

Such a great app. As someone who waers binders for cosplays and such, this is very helpful. I have ran into a few issues with it, but it was easy to fix it.

It's a good app, I would recommend it. The settings are good, as are the themes but I never get the notifications for the timers.

Eth. L. Feb 5, 2020     

I got a recommendation from a close friend of mine to use this because he knows how much i dont take my binder off. but, even when i have all the notification settings on, i dont get notifications.

I love the app and that there is a way to change the app from the boring dark to the trans flag but I wish that there was a non binary option.

Edw. S. Feb 27, 2021     

I may not have a binder just yet but my friend does and this app is really good it tells her when to put it on and take it off and how long to keep it on and off so you should reqlly get this app

The reminders are extremely helpful, and I appreciate that I can adjust the timing as needed.

digital tool works as marketed. user friendly and customizable.

Goo. D. O. Mar 11, 2019     

With my dysphoria, I definitely wouldn't be taking off my binder when I should without this app.

very helpful and a great resource for trans people who wear binders

Nic. T. Jul 10, 2021     

Well, clearly this is a joke. But to suggest that trans people need an alarm to remind them of something like this seems like it would trivialize their daily toils concerning more serious matters.

Ale. A. Aug 31, 2020     

From a trans guy this is so helpful, I absolutely love this app.

Zé. V. Oct 16, 2017     

Great app , very simple and easy to use . I only wish that the "are you wearing your binder?" Reminder could be set for different times on different days . I also sometimes forget to turn the binder reminder on at first in the morning , so if say forgot for an hour , it'd be nice if I could go back and say when I put it on so that the stretch reminders line up with when I actually put it on .

Luc. m. Oct 31, 2017     

Very helpful, would Appreciate themes in the future but! id take an active developer who responds to users over any cosmetic feature. the stretching part is also a really awesome feature!

It's so awesome to see stuff targeted at LGBT+ individuals! It's a super cool app to and i love how you can set it to your personal needs.

Jak. F. Feb 3, 2018     

Love this app! I've had health issues start coming up because of binding too much, so this app is great for reminding me to stretch, and to be mindful of how often I bind and for how long.
