Pingy β Reminders That Don't Give Up Pingy is the persistent reminder app for people who struggle to stay focused and keep resetting timers without ever actually doing the task. Most reminder apps ping you once and vanish. Pingy doesn't. It keeps coming back β again and again β until the thing is actually done. HOW IT WORKS Tell Pingy what you need to do and choose how often it should remind you. It'll keep nudging you at that interval until you mark the task complete β straight from the notification with a single tap, or in the app. You can dismiss any individual notification, but Pingy won't let the task quietly disappear. PERFECT FOR - Taking medication on time - Drinking water throughout the day - Starting tasks you keep putting off - Staying focused on what matters - Building better habits - Actually doing the thing instead of just swiping notifications away SIMPLE & EFFECTIVE No complex task management, no overwhelming features, no account to create. Just persistent reminders that keep coming back. Set quiet hours and Pingy stays silent overnight β it picks back up in the morning. Built for people who need that extra accountability push. FEATURES - Customisable reminder intervals β every few minutes to once a day - Persistent notifications that keep coming until the task is done - Complete a task in one tap, from the notification or in-app - Quiet hours so you're never disturbed overnight - Edit a reminder any time without starting over - History and a running count of everything you've done - Full dark mode β follow your system or lock it to light or dark - Clean, minimal interface with no complicated setup - Works fully offline PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pingy collects nothing. No account, no analytics, no tracking. Every reminder stays on your device and never leaves it.
