NagMe helps you overcome procrastination and forgetfulness by sending persistent reminders until you take action. Whether it’s a one-time chore or a recurring task like taking medication, paying bills, or doing housework, you can find the right reminder. Remind yourself every 1.5 hours, every 2 weeks, on the 2nd Friday of each month, on selected weekdays, or during specific months. You can even temporarily blackout reminders when life gets in the way. NagMe is built to handle nearly every real-world scheduling pattern. Thanks to the powerful nagging feature, you won’t miss a reminder just because you missed a notification - it keeps buzzing at set intervals until you actually complete the task. (Of course, life happens! If you need a break, just tap once to snooze the alert - it'll pause for your chosen amount of time, giving you space to focus on what’s in front of you.) On a plane? Went offline? No worries - NagMe keeps working no matter what! Notifications will still come through, even without internet. You’ll only need a connection if you want to sync alerts across your iPhones, iPads, and Macs. (Any unsynced alerts will automatically sync once you're back online!) Frequent travelers and digital nomads will appreciate the smarter timezone support. NagMe lets you anchor alerts to a specific time zone, automatically detects when you change zones, and offers to adjust your reminder schedule so you stay on track - wherever you go. NagMe collects no personal data and has no access to your reminders. All data storage and transfers occur directly between your device and iCloud, with no data stored by the app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
