Badger Bug

When procrastination is not an option, the Badger Bug can help…

Having problems getting things done in time?
Do you have a tendency to put boring or difficult things off? Taxes, repairs, calls to plumbers, veterinarians or distant family?
Help is on the way!

The Badger Bug application will bug you to accomplish today what you were deferring until tomorrow!
Enter or dictate the task you are constantly putting off, then press START. 
It will send to your phone, or your Apple Watch repeated reminders to get it done!

The Friendly Badger has three different levels of intensity, and a lot of encouraging words for you.

You can suspend the Badger if you are too busy or unable to complete the task due to physical or mental circumstances. Once you get back, just resume, and the Badger will report for duty. 

It will be joyful and celebratory once you are able to press the “DONE!” button, and send the Badger away…

### 3/5 — trouble setting time

*2022-01-04*

This app looks so cute and helpful!! However, the square that should let me adjust the notification’s date and time is empty and won’t let me set it. Is there someone I can email about this? Once that’s fixed I’d be happy to give this app 5 stars <3 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

**Developer response:** Thank you for mentioning the problem. Actually, I had fixed one thing, and then it broke again after iOS 17. This new version fixes all of it! Thank you for hanging on to our dear badger :)

### 5/5 — Indispensable for managing my ADHD!

*2021-10-19*

I've been using this for over a year now (unlike most other apps I've tried for managing my ADHD) and it is perfect. I love that there are a limited number of tasks you can do (and that the task times out eventually) because this keeps me from taking on more than I think I can and encourages me to only use the app for very important things. This prevents notification fatigue, so I almost never ignore my badger notifications unlike with my other recurring reminder app! This was an extremely thoughtful design! The fun design and messages means the world to me, and I love the hilarious reward you get when you complete a task. Thanks for making such a great app!

### 5/5 — I like it... a LOT!

*2016-09-14*

I thought, if it's just another to-do list, so what?  But, if you MUST do something and you avoid completing it, for whatever reason, this is the app you want.  It will pester the heck out of you, if you wish, or it'll nudge you periodically.

A few nice to haves: Archived completed tasks, so that you can resurrect them easily and repeats.  For example, I meditate twice a day, unless I'm too busy, then I push out the second one, sometimes missing it.  I haven't explored BB fully, but so far, it's VERY useful for those critical tasks that we struggle with and make any excuse to avaoid doing!

### 5/5 — Badger deserves a badge!

*2016-08-29*

Clean interface with intuitive UI. No procrastinating your efforts to stop procrastinating!  The various nag levels are very helpful in setting the right level of reminder.

### 5/5 — Fun way to get things done

*2016-08-26*

When you have a gnarly task (or two), it's good to have a Badger who will tell you to buckle down and get it done. The fireworks at the end make it all worthwhile! A clever app!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 6.1.2 — 2026-08-26

Some minor UI corrections, like colors in the icon, removal of the "Do Not Disturb" opt out, as it was not necessary. The user should still have that choice.

### 6.1.0 — 2026-08-09

This version adds localization in Spanish and French, a new launch icon, and settings to ignore Do Not Disturb (if necessary) and undo "locked in portrait", if the user so desires.

### 5.0 — 2024-06-27

This version include Dark Mode, and bug fixes especially to the Date Picker which had gone through some OS changes, and a couple of aesthetic changes.

### 4.2 — 2022-01-10

Finally tracked down the Date Picker problem to strange behavior in Dark Mode. 
Dark Mode broke the Date Picker. So Badger Bug was exonerated from Dark Mode, and the Date Picker bug was fixed.

### 4.1 — 2022-01-07

Fixed a bug where the Date Picker in some edge cases was not automatically set to a wheel, and was not showing the day of the week.
