We all have that one thing we need to do. Whether it’s remembering to pick up dry cleaning, making progress on a big project, or a daily reminder to get in your steps – it’s easy to get distracted and forget. PERSISTENT is a minimalist tool designed to solve that. It’s based on one simple idea: if you keep your goal top-of-mind, you will increase your likelihood of DOING THE THING. Type a short reminder in the app to see a persistent notification on your device. It stays on your Lock Screen as a Live Activity, in your Dynamic Island, and on your Mac desktop. Add a widget to your Home Screen or a complication to your Apple Watch to see it everywhere you look. There are no alarms, no complex lists, and no due dates. It is a simple, beautiful, and focused tool to help you accomplish your goals. We hope this helps you along your way.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Live Minder at every 3 days against PERSISTENT Reminder's every 5 weeks. Live Minder also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (100 vs 3). PERSISTENT Reminder's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
