A Cross Platform personalized Ping
NOTE : The server is not being maintained right now. (Because my student pack expired)
The beauty of ping-me
is its command line interface. Get all of your
reminders done just by a single line command on your favorite terminal
screen. ping-me
will surely ping you at that time, no matter you
are online or not. It will get to you on your phone device, smart watch
and even SMS in worst cases.
Stay Lazy, Stay Updated !

Download the chrome extension from here.

Note : ping-me will work even if all chrome windows are closed.
