I don't really know how to mess with the Destiny API, but I know some of you here do. Please don't charge for this, it is really not necessary.

So! I'm thinking of an Armsday Reminder--an application that scans your inventory(I don't think you can put them in the vault, right?) on a regular basis, and if it detects an armsday order it can remind you on Wednesday morning, noon, evening or all--to go to the tower and redeem it. Like a push notification or a nice audible alarm.

I think this would be a great idea for people who are busy, eager or merely forgetful. I know for certain that Wednesdays blend in with the rest of my blur for a week.

Thoughts?

Sounds easy enough, assuming the API provides access to the armsday guns.

People here mess with the API, right? Is it documented at all? I have spent zero time researching it.

Calendar events would work as well :)

I've messed around with the API and was for a short while developing a Lowest Light application so that you would know if a blue engram you got is higher than the lowest light level you have in that category (for infusion purposes). From research for this I learned that Weapon objects do not return with some of the information you would expect it to have. For example, weapons don't have a rarity property that indicates whether it's common, uncommon, rare, legendary, exotic, etc. Instead, you have to reference the weapon against a master list. This is actually how Destiny Item Manager works and requires updating of a manifest with each weapon update.

My point is, while it would be possible, through enough shenanigans to figure out which weapons you had were armsday orders and remind you, it wouldn't be any fun to create and would require more work and maintenance than it's really worth which is probably why it doesn't exist already. Which leads me to tell you, add something to your calendar like Earendil suggested.

Ahh, so that explains "quality level" shown on Destinytracker among others.
