Build any reminder in seconds. Set an interval, a time window, specific days, or a repeating end — in one sentence. Stop keeping it all in your head. Describe what you want to be reminded of as a plain sentence — what to do, how often, between which hours, and when it should stop — and the sentence builds itself as you answer. It is not a to-do list and not a habit tracker. It does one thing: it keeps a repeating promise running on the schedule you set. Most reminder apps can repeat daily, weekly, or monthly. Wehem can do this: "Stretch, every 30 minutes, on Weekdays, between 9 AM and 6 PM." "Take medication, every 8 hours, starting at 9 AM." "Drink water, every hour, between 8 AM and 10 PM." "Water the plants, every 3 days, at 9 AM." "Check the oven, for the next 3 hours, every 20 minutes." Yours alone. No account, no sign-up, no tracking of what you write. Everything stays on your device. Available as a weekly or annual subscription. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
