Using AK Notepad As a To-Do Alarm Reminder 
You can use AK Notepad to remind you of to-do 
items. For example, you might want to set a 
reminder at 5 PM for the Groceries list item. 
Open the note, press the Menu button, and select 
Remind me. 
 
Select from one of the preset durations or select 
Custom date/time if you need another reminder 
time, and then select the time you want. In this 
case, we would select 5:00 PM today.

give you a vibration and usually a ringtone. (You 
can change the way AK Notepad alerts you in the 
app by pressing Menu button > Settings > 
Notification settings.) 
The alert will pop up in the very top status bar. 
Drag your finger down from the top of the DROID 
screen to see all the reminders. Now you can tap 
the Groceries list to view your list as you go

Groceries list and put a space before each item as 
you drop it into your shopping cart. This way, you 
can be sure not to miss anything on your list!
