Such a simple interface and design but provides a new take on solving a classical problem, really cool app.

Thanks, glad you're getting some value from it.

What technology was used except backbone/coffeescript? Something like PhoneGap?

Yes, PhoneGap is used to tie it all together and to create a bridge to the local notifications API in iOS.

I'd recommend it to anyone looking to bring their web oriented skills to mobile apps.

I plan on porting this to Android soon since PhoneGap allows almost complete code reuse (except for dealing with notification scheduling).
