I thought this was a good idea, and made a mental note to make an add-in for it, and at long last, I’ve created it. You can download the add-in from HERE or HERE. If you are interested in the very basic source code, it’s on GitHub HERE.
To install it, simply extract the files into C:\Program Files\RevitSaveReminder\ and then move the RevitSaveReminder-Manifest.addin file to your addins directory which is C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2011\ if you are on Vista/7 or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2011\ if you are on XP.
After installing it, simply open your project, when your next synchronization with central is complete, you’ll see a window like this pop up:

And in your taskbar it’s icon will be flashing:

Additionally, you’ll be greeted with a generous round of applause playing from your speakers, to congratulate you on successfully completing some more work.

I hope someone gets some use out of this (perhaps the person that Tweeted it a couple of years ago and has no doubt been frantically searching the internet for it ever since)! Let me know your thoughts, bugs or suggestions.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the posting. The link to the download appears to not be working.
Hi Bruce,
Thanks for letting me know, perhaps my web host is letting me down. I've mirrored it on another hosting account of mine:

Hopefully that works!
Actually looks like the link didn't translate well from Live Writer, I've fixed it now so either one should work!
