What could be kinder than a friendly reminder? Is your to-do list full of to-didn'ts? You meant to get to them. You really did. But a list can't tap you on the shoulder at 3:47 PM. RE.minder can. RE.minder isn't about getting organized — it's about getting things done on time. Set a reminder in as few as three taps, and RE.minder makes sure the nudge arrives right when you need it. Even offline. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY GET THROUGH • Time-Sensitive notifications break through Do Not Disturb, so the important ones don't get silenced along with everything else. • CarPlay alerts sound while you're driving (or turn them off in Settings). • Bug Me nags you every minute or every hour until you deal with it. • Running late? Delay a reminder in one tap without leaving the list. YOUR NEXT REMINDER, AT A GLANCE • A Home Screen widget shows your next reminder — or the next several on larger sizes — with its own colors, icon, and photo. • A countdown to your next reminder, right at the top of the list. • Every repeating reminder shows how often it repeats — like "2w" for every 2 weeks — in the list and on the widget. • Siri & Shortcuts: add reminders hands-free — try "Remind me with RE.minder" — or build them into your own Shortcuts. FAST TO SET, EASY TO CHANGE • Over 20 Quick Pickers for categories and times, and RE.minder remembers what you use. • Repeat options right on the reminder screen, with a plain-language summary of what you've set up. • Pick dates on a calendar or the classic wheel. • Notes that work for you: tap a phone number to call, message, or FaceTime; long-press to copy. • History: reset a past reminder for the same time, the same interval, or a new time in two taps. • Over 20 sounds in three flavors: Simple, Fun, and Musical. • Rebuilt for Liquid Glass, with full VoiceOver support. GO PRO (in-app purchase) • Photos on reminders, so you remember exactly what it's about. • Advanced repeats: days of the week, a set number of repetitions, end dates, and schedules like "every 2 months on the second Tuesday." • iCloud sync and backup, with a sync status that shows when your reminders last synced. Clear a reminder on one device and it's cleared on all of them. • Color schemes: pick a built-in one or design your own. • Search every reminder, current or past. • Mute reminders for a while, or delay them all at once. • Customize the Quick Pickers. • No ads. ADD-ON PACKS (in-app purchase) • 20 musical sounds • 22 fun sounds • 17 extra-loud sounds, for when you really can't miss it • Fun & Games, Home & Office, and Miscellaneous icon packs Want it all for one price? RE.minder PRO+ includes every PRO feature and every pack. Ready to turn those to-didn'ts into dones? Download RE.minder free.

Keep reminding you until it's done!! The reminder went off, but you still haven't done it? 不忘提醒 (Never Forget Reminder) sends follow-up notifications for unfinished one-time tasks, helping you remember expense reimbursements, appointment preparations, and little things you need to take care of. It also supports daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly recurring reminders, lunar-calendar birthdays, and reusable countdown timers. 【One-Time Tasks: Remind You on Time, Then Again If Unfinished】 Enter a task and its time, and enable persistent reminders when needed. After the task is due, additional notifications will be sent if it hasn't been marked as complete. Once you've taken care of it, mark it as complete in the app to stop further app reminders for that task. Simply opening a notification does not mark the task as complete. You can also set reminders in advance for tasks that require preparation. 【Recurring Reminders: Set Once, Get Reminded on Schedule】 Set recurring reminders for daily tasks, selected days of the week, monthly bill payments, and more. Recurrence options include daily, selected weekdays, monthly, and yearly. Recurring reminders trigger on their scheduled dates, while persistent reminders are for one-time tasks that remain unfinished after their due time. 【Birthdays & Anniversaries: Gregorian and Lunar Calendars】 Keep track of family members' lunar-calendar birthdays and important anniversaries. Get yearly reminders and see how many days remain until the next occurrence. 【Countdown Timers: Set Once, Reuse Anytime】 Set countdown timers for cooking, brewing coffee, or short focus sessions. Pause, resume, and reset them whenever needed. On supported systems and devices, you can also check the remaining time through Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. 【Important Tasks: Choose a Sound or Enable Alarm Mode】 Choose an alert sound from the built-in notification tones. Alarm mode is available for one-time reminders and countdown timers. 【Type a Time Instead of Tapping Through Dates】 Enter phrases like “Meeting tomorrow at 3 PM,” and the app will recognize common dates and times. Review the recognized result, tap Apply, and then save your reminder. Time recognition is performed locally on your device. 【Timeline, Calendar & Home Screen Widgets】 View your schedule in a timeline or calendar, and use home screen widgets to check upcoming one-time reminders and anniversary countdowns. With your permission, reminders can also be added to your system calendar for convenient schedule management. 【Local Storage & Manual Backups】 Basic reminders work offline without requiring an app account. Your reminder data is stored locally on your device. You can manually export backup files, import them to restore your data, or transfer them to another device.
