Take your medicine, put out the trash, pick up the kids. These daily and weekly habits aren’t quite worth adding to your calendar — but they’re easy to forget. Register a habit and you’ll get a notification at the time you set. See it, and you’re done. No tapping, no dismissing required. ■ Notified. Nothing more to do. Alarms need to be stopped. Reminders need to be completed. That friction adds up. This app’s notifications are just banners. No additional action needed. ■ Repeat daily or on specific days Set patterns like “Take medicine every day at 8:00” or “School pickup Mon, Wed, Fri at 7:30.” Combine any days you like. Going on a trip? Toggle it off — no need to delete and recreate. ■ See your week at a glance A weekly grid shows all your notifications as color blocks by day and time.
