About

Timites

Features
Read full description

Recurring reminders for the things you want to remember again. Timites brings the reminder, its schedule, and an optional timer together in one place. REMEMBER WHAT COMES AROUND AGAIN Water the plants. Clean the filter. Take a stretch break. Set a reminder for a daily routine or an occasional household job, then let Timites bring it back when it is due. CHOOSE WHEN IT REPEATS Schedule daily times, selected weekdays, monthly dates, or yearly dates. Use patterns such as the second Tuesday, every few weeks, or every 1–11 months. A TIMER INSIDE YOUR REMINDER When a reminder needs a little time, start its built-in timer. Use a single countdown or timed repeats with sets and rest. Pause and resume without switching to another app. SEE WHAT NEEDS YOU NOW Active reminders sit above what is coming later. See which earlier reminder you are completing, finish one at a time, or postpone the current occurrence. START WITH AN EXAMPLE Choose Water plants, Wipe counters, or Replace air filter on the welcome screen, or browse the Examples library for more ideas. Preview an example, add a personal copy, and adjust its schedule or timer. PRIVATE AND SIMPLE No account or automatic cloud sync. Reminders and history stay on your iPhone, and notifications are scheduled locally. Unlimited includes saving and restoring your own backup files through Files. Three enabled Timites of your own are free. Unlimited removes the limit with one payment, never a subscription.
