### 5/5 — Surprisingly effective for ADHD

*2026-07-04, version 3.3.0*

I've been enjoying this app greatly. I'm not sure how often updates are released but the one feature I think would be most useful at the moment for me at least is being able hide/archive categories or even just individual items. Otherwise it does get difficult to keep it focused and uncluttered.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Tool

*2026-06-29, version 3.3.0*

Yeah Apple reminders can basically do the same thing but I’ve been using this for years just to hold those dates and see the passage of time.

### 5/5 — Fave app

*2026-04-12, version 3.3.0*

Please never stop updating. This is my most used app. I’ve used other similar ones but not quite as good. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Wonderful tool at my fingertips

*2026-02-05, version 3.3.0*

Changing air filters, electric toothbrush heads, etc are tasks that need reminding. And this tool does it so well that I rely on it more and more. The interface is simple and straightforward. Love it!

### 2/5 — Abandoned app? Notifications/badges unreliable.

*2026-01-19*

The notification/badges for overdue events are often wrong. It will either not display at all, until you open the app and manually check it, or the count will be wrong. (Badge shows 1 but 3 are overdue, etc). Sometimes opening and closing app fixes it, sometimes you have to change categories to force a refresh, and sometimes it glitches and shows random changing numbers in a burst. At this point it’s so unreliable I have lost trust in it. I emailed the developer logs and screen recordings of this behavior months ago, but there still is no fix. It’s a shame because otherwise it’s a great app but the lack of response to such a major issue has me thinking the developer has abandoned support of this app.

### 3/5 — Notifications/badges unreliable.

### 5/5 — this app is close to perfect, thank you!

*2025-10-19, version 3.3.0*

i cycled through so many apps looking for exactly this functionality. this app is the perfect solution. it does all you need without being overloaded with countdowns like others.

absolutely worth a donation.

- beautiful thin and functional design

- functional noteworthy things are possible grouping of events, a great timeline for single events, easy timestamping, working perfectly stable

- it has very(!) beautiful widgets with much information both for home and lock screen

- it has a watch app thats really good
 
- it doesnt collect data

- it is free

- frequent updates

- data export

just good.

the only improvement i could think of is being able to set specific events in the widgets instead of only most recent to keep better track

again, thank you for making such an amazing app

### 5/5 — Great continual supports

*2025-10-17, version 3.3.0*

Thanks for the updates

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2025-09-18, version 3.3.0*

Returned me a sense of control. Keeps getting better.

### 5/5 — 건의사항

*2025-07-31, version 3.2.0*

아주 잘 사용하고 있습니다. 다만 알림에서 주간 월간 단위가 아니라 달력 날짜로 지정 가능하고 메모를 추가할수 있으면 최고일 것 같아요!!
