Most reminder apps ping you once and quit. Remindera follows up until it’s handled - on your terms - so you don’t have to worry about forgetting. You know the feeling: you see a reminder, mean to deal with it, and it quietly slips away. Remindera is built for the things that can't slip. It follows up more than once, on your schedule and in a voice you choose, until the task is actually handled. PERSISTENT, ON YOUR TERMS Set a plain reminder and Remindera keeps nudging, calmly, until it's done. Give it a deadline and it does more: the reminders come more often and grow more urgent as the day approaches, so the things that matter can't quietly pass you by. Either way, only during the active hours you set. No 3am pings, no guilt. A VOICE THAT SUITS YOU Choose the tone you'd actually want to hear from: • Gentle - Supportive, ADHD-friendly, zero guilt • Cheeky - Playful, bold, drama included • Dry - Wry observations, no exclamation marks • Wild - Surprising, ever-changing, occasionally unhinged • Efficient - Minimal, professional, action-oriented BUILT FOR RECURRING LIFE ADMIN Bills, rent, chores, renewals, appointments, birthdays, promises. Remindera handles the cadences real life runs on: daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, the last weekday of the month, alternating-week schedules, and more. KEEP IT VISIBLE, NOT JUST PUSHED Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep what matters in view, so you catch it with a glance instead of waiting for another notification. SIMPLE TO SET UP, CLEAR TO FOLLOW Powerful scheduling, without the fuss. Your list shows each reminder's next time and recurrence at a glance. Tap any to see its full schedule, cadence, and active hours. And as you set one up, a timeline shows exactly when the follow-ups begin and end, so you know what will happen before you count on it. Remindera is free to use and stays free, with an optional Plus upgrade for unlimited recurring schedules. Remindera is a general reminder app for everyday tasks and routines, but isn't intended for emergency, medical, or safety-critical use.
