About

Pushy Reminders

Read full description

Pushy is the reminder app for people who ignore normal reminders. Create a task, set a deadline, and choose the pusher who will pressure you until it gets done. Instead of sending one polite notification you can swipe away, Pushy sends escalating reminders that get louder as your deadline gets closer. If you procrastinate, forget tasks, or need accountability that actually pushes back, Pushy turns your iPhone into a personal pressure coach. REMINDERS THAT DON’T GIVE UP Pushy is built for procrastinators, last-minute finishers, and anyone tired of to-do apps that are too polite to help. Set your task, choose a deadline, and let your pusher take over. * Create tasks with custom deadlines * Get up to 5 escalating warning levels * Receive reminders that increase in intensity * Stay accountable before time runs out * Stop ignoring normal alerts CHOOSE YOUR PUSHER Different people need different kinds of pressure. Pick the personality that actually gets you moving. * Drill Sergeant: direct, loud, and impossible to ignore * Disappointed Mom: gentle guilt with emotional damage * Competitive Rival: reminds you that someone else is already ahead * Brutally Honest Friend: says what you don’t want to hear * Passive Aggressive: painfully polite, but still judging you 5 ESCALATING WARNING LEVELS Pushy doesn’t stop at one reminder. Every task comes with escalating pressure before the deadline. * Level 1: gentle push * Level 2: getting serious * Level 3: no excuses * Level 4: critical warning * Level 5: final warning The longer you ignore the task, the louder your pusher gets. WINS, FAILS, NO EXCUSES Every task becomes part of your scoreboard. Complete it and earn a win. Bail on it and Pushy remembers. * Track completed tasks * See failed or bailed tasks * Build your completion rate * Keep your streak alive * Review your personal scoreboard INSIGHTS THAT CALL YOU OUT Pushy helps you understand your real productivity patterns, not just your intentions. * See which pusher works best for you * Discover your danger zone * Track your average warning level * Review completion patterns * Learn when you are most likely to procrastinate CALENDAR AND STREAKS Stay motivated by seeing your progress over time. Track your wins day by day and build a streak you won’t want to break. * Daily calendar view * Streak tracking * Completed task history * Missed task visibility * Progress at a glance WHO PUSHY IS FOR Pushy is for people who: * Ignore regular reminders * Procrastinate until the last minute * Need stronger accountability * Want a funny productivity app with personality * Prefer pressure over polite notifications * Want to complete more tasks and make fewer excuses FREE TO START Create your first 3 tasks for free.
