ReAlarmed is for the reminders that matter — the ones a quiet notification lets you miss. Every reminder is a normal notification by default. When one really can't be missed, switch it to Alarm: it rings like a real alarm clock, through silent mode and Focus, even when ReAlarmed is closed. NAG-ME Some things need more than one nudge. Turn on Nag-Me and ReAlarmed keeps alerting you every few minutes until you actually mark the reminder done. PUSH IT BACK IN ONE TAP Tap any reminder to move it by five minutes, an hour or a day. Snooze straight from the alert. No editing, no retyping. SET IT UP YOUR WAY • Pre-alarms, so you get a heads-up before it's time • Repeat daily, on weekdays, or on your own schedule • Choose the melody and the snooze length • Categories with colours and symbols, to filter your list at a glance • Quick time presets and one-tap "+3 hours" or "+1 week" ALWAYS IN VIEW Overdue reminders stay at the top and in red, and the app icon shows how many are waiting. A ringing alarm shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE Your reminders sync with iCloud across iPhone, iPad and Mac. On the Mac, reminders ring in their own window while ReAlarmed is running. Also in English and Swedish, with full Dark Mode.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Notes at 4.8 against ReAlarmed's 4.0. Notes also leads on ratings volume (17 vs 1) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). ReAlarmed's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and ReAlarmed sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notes has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Notes ships an update every 11 days, ReAlarmed every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
