The Most Powerful Reminder App Yet Stay laser-focused with persistent reminders that never disappear from your Lock Screen—until you mark them as done. Every time you unlock your phone, your active tasks are right in front of you. No more forgetting. No more excuses. In Reminder List, every task must have a time. No more overlooked tasks because you forgot to set a reminder. If you don’t specify a time, the default is now—and the notification will appear immediately and stay until completed. “Own your Reminder List, own a productive and disciplined life.” Key Features: • Smart Categorization: Automatically sorts your reminders into To-dos, Repeating Tasks, and Scheduled Events—no manual organization needed. • Task Lists: Plan work, manage errands, organize shopping lists—stay in control of your life. • Checklists: Tasks can’t be marked as complete until every item in the checklist is done. • Persistent Alerts: Set reminders using either relative time or exact dates—default is now, so you never miss a beat. • Unlimited Reminders: Notifications can repeat at intervals until acknowledged—never miss what matters. • Ongoing Reminders: Notifications keep prompting you until the task is marked as done. • Repeating Tasks: Create reminders that repeat every X minutes, hours, or days. • Scheduled Tasks: Set daily, weekly, or monthly recurring tasks—even with multiple trigger times. • Notification Widgets: View, snooze, or complete tasks directly from the notification center—no need to open the app. • Statistics & Insights: Track your task completion rates and habit streaks. • Calendar Sync: Automatically syncs your reminders to your system calendar. Three Types of Reminders • Instant Tasks: Great for quick plans—“Remind me to pick up the package at 6 PM tonight”, “Remind me to go to the store tomorrow at 5 PM.” • Repeating Tasks: Perfect for routines like hydration, taking medicine, or posture breaks. • Scheduled Tasks: Build long-term habits—“Exercise for 30 minutes every day”, “Study vocabulary daily”, “Clock in and out for work.” 【Subscription】 1.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: ViewDo at free with in-app purchases against Notifyman's subscription. Notifyman's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Notifyman sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and ViewDo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Notifyman holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Notifyman's written reviews are positive against 92% of ViewDo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Notifyman ships an update every 3 days, ViewDo every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 8, 2026.
