What's New in Insistent

1.6.1

February 1, 2026

Eileen reached out to me with some suggestions and issues. Some of which are in this release: - The silent sound type was actually playing the default sound (not any more!) - She wanted to have the ability to set reminders at one minute intervals rather than five minute intervals (something I wanted too) so that's now possible with the "settings" button next to the date/time pickers Some other miscellaneous things: - 30 minute snooze option added to the notifications - Some slight visual improvements - Some other little bug fixes

I needed this

This is a great app! It reminds me to take my vitamins twice a day, and nags me gently (with some snooze options) until I actually do it. Most reminder apps are cluttered with features I don't want, but this one is simple, easy to use, and works perfectly. Love it.

Response from developer

☺️ too kind! Glad you like it, feel free to send any suggestions for improvements or help if you run into any problems!

Great app to make sure your reminders got done!

Apple calendar and clock app reminders alarms etc are too easy to miss. This app lets you easily postpone something and reminds you until it actually gets done!

Great!! Best for adhd period

Would love to have a preset of “ 15 min and 30 min “ ready to be launched when creating a reminder. I personally need reminders or tasks that will continue to bug me as I tend to dismiss alerts all too easily- but I love this app! I simply snooze it for the nagging option lol. This definitely helps with my ADHD when I forget things and the snooze work around help when I get too hyper-focused and have to remind myself of how long I’ve been in the zone. I would gladly pay for watch capabilities, widgets and a way to add a section for optional to do list or a section for a description rather than the title of the reminder only. I’ve honestly spent 2 days downloading apps with promises to be close to your app feature. But yours is the best hands down because it keeps repeating the way I need it to.Your app won the list as well as another called highfutureself. Out of testing so many apps. Thank you so much! A donation button would be cool too.

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words! Really happy it’s helping you as much as it helps me! I’ll add your suggestions to my list of ideas and maybe one day they’ll appear!

Needed by all ADHDers!

I do not turn off a medication alarm until I take the medication! This has saved my sanity. And I only use it for meditation. To not wear out my interest and stop “seeing” the alarms.

Terrible app

Bombards me with notifications every minute

Response from developer

That’s the point of the app and outlined in the description! Sorry it wasn’t a fit for you, it’s aimed at people who need the repeated reminders :D
