G-Alert alpha — A Greasemonkey script for setting reminders in GMail


WHAT IS IT ?

It remembers the alerts set by you and pops-up a window on the scheduled time.

NOTES

1) G-alert is in alpha stage, it has a few small bugs in it (if you find them annoying, please mail me or post in comments section).

All data is stored in your local machine only.
3) Reminders are persistent and are available even if you restart your browser or the operating system.

If your browser does not allow pop-ups, you might need to disable the pop-up blocker (disable only for GMail).
