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 PRO+ can. RE.minder PRO+ 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 PRO+ makes sure the nudge arrives right when you need it. Even offline. Everything is included: every feature, every sound, every icon, and no ads. 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 — or delay them all, or just the overdue ones. • Mute reminders for a while when you need some quiet. 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. YOUR REMINDERS, YOUR WAY • 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" — right on the reminder screen, with a plain-language summary. • 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. • Customize the Quick Pickers — over 20 categories and times, and RE.minder PRO+ remembers what you use. FAST TO SET, EASY TO CHANGE • 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. • Every sound pack — Simple, Fun, Musical, and 17 extra-loud sounds for when you really can't miss it. • Every icon pack: Fun & Games, Home & Office, and Miscellaneous. • Rebuilt for Liquid Glass, with full VoiceOver support. Ready to turn those to-didn'ts into dones? Get RE.minder PRO+.

Zero friction. Visual and intuitive design: The countdown works in real-time and dynamically changes color based on the task's progress and status. Total Control: Pause, resume, mark as completed, or failed. Need an extra push? It includes a 5-minute grace period and the quick option to create a task continuation. StayTask is built for the present. No complex project managers, no endless tags. Just you, your task, and the time you dedicate to it.
