Remind can be made to run under Windows if you compile it with the Cygwin tools. However, I prefer you not to do that. Microsoft is quite hostile to free software, and I'd prefer you to run Remind on a platform that is not controlled by a free-software-hostile corporation.
Remind can be made to run under Mac OS X, but I prefer you not to do that. Apple is even more hostile than Microsoft to openness, using both technical and legal means to hobble what its customers and developers are allowed to do. If you are thinking of buying an Apple product, please don't. If you're unfortunate enough to already own Apple products, please consider switching to an open platform like Linux or FreeBSD that doesn't impose "1984"-like restrictions on your freedom.
Tim Bray, a major Internet technology pioneer, said it best in his blog post::
The iPhone vision of the mobile Internet's future omits controversy, sex, and freedom, but includes strict limits on who can know what and who can say what. It's a sterile Disney-fied walled garden surrounded by sharp-toothed lawyers. The people who create the apps serve at the landlord's pleasure and fear his anger.
I hate it.
