Why we like it

EReminder earns its place in the library as a free save reminder that prompts only when the scene has actually changed, and covers a broad span of 3ds Max releases from 2020 to 2026.

What is EReminder?

EReminder is a free MaxScript for Autodesk 3ds Max that helps you remember to save your scene. You set a preferred reminder interval, and the script notifies you only when the scene has actually changed since your last save. During long renders or idle stretches, it holds off, so prompts stay tied to real work rather than a fixed clock.

The tool displays a countdown so you can see when the next reminder is due. When the interval is reached, a pop-up offers two choices: Save & Reset, which saves your file and restarts the timer, or Snooze, which postpones the prompt. If you save the file manually before the reminder fires, the timer resets automatically.

EReminder comes from EKDTools and supports 3ds Max versions 2020 through 2026. It is listed here as a free tool. For current licensing and download details, visit the developer's page.

Frequently asked questions

Which 3ds Max versions does EReminder support?

EReminder supports Autodesk 3ds Max versions 2020 through 2026, covering a wide range of releases across those years. If you run any version within that span, the script is intended to work with your setup. For the exact release you are using, and to confirm details before installing, check the developer's page at ehabkdesigns. Keeping your 3ds Max version within the supported range helps avoid compatibility surprises, and the developer's shop is the best place to verify current support information.

Is EReminder free to use?

EReminder is listed here as a free tool, offered as a MaxScript for 3ds Max at no cost. Since pricing and licensing terms can change over time, the developer's page at ehabkdesigns is the place to confirm the current terms before you download. Listing it as free reflects how it appears in this catalog rather than a permanent guarantee, so it is worth checking the shop directly if licensing matters for your workflow. That way you get the most up-to-date information straight from the source.

Does EReminder interrupt long renders with save prompts?

EReminder is designed to avoid unnecessary popups during long renders or idle time. Rather than prompting on a fixed schedule regardless of activity, it notifies you only if the scene has changed since the last save. That context-aware behaviour means you are not interrupted while a render runs or while the scene sits untouched. When you do make changes and the interval passes, the reminder appears so you can save before anything is lost. This keeps prompts tied to actual work rather than the clock alone.

What happens when an EReminder prompt appears?

EReminder shows a countdown so you know when the next reminder is due, and when the interval is reached a pop-up appears with two options: Save & Reset or Snooze. Choosing Save & Reset saves your work and restarts the timer in one click. Snooze lets you postpone the prompt if you are mid-task. If you save the file manually before the reminder fires, the timer resets automatically, so the countdown always reflects your most recent save. This keeps the reminder aligned with how you actually work.
