Did I take my medicine? Did I water the plant? Did I call my parents this week? Mada is a calm, persistent reminder for the small recurring actions you keep meaning to do — medication, plants, toothbrush, family calls. Unlike notifications that vanish the moment you swipe them away, Mada lives on your lock screen as a Live Activity until you tap Done. Why Mada is different • Persistent until confirmed. The reminder stays visible — on your lock screen, on the Dynamic Island — until you actually do the thing. • One tap to complete. Done lives on the lock screen, not three taps deep. • State-based, not time-based. No "37 minutes overdue" countdown. Just upcoming, due, pending, missed. • Apple-native and quiet. Built with SwiftUI, ActivityKit, and SwiftData. No accounts, no ads, no analytics SDKs. • Lock-screen reminders. When enabled, your reminder auto-appears on the lock screen at the scheduled time — no need to tap a notification first. (Optional, off by default.) • Persistent reminders. If you don't tap Done, choose how insistently Mada re-notifies; high-priority schedules nudge one level harder. • Smart snooze. 10 minutes, 30 minutes, Tonight, Tomorrow, or pick your own time. • Simple repeat rules. Daily, weekly, monthly, every N days, one time. • English, Korean, Japanese, Traditional Chinese. Designed for • Daily medication and supplements • Plant care and home maintenance • Weekly calls to family • Replacing toothbrushes, contact lenses, water filters • Anything you keep forgetting to do Mada is not a todo app, not a habit tracker, not a productivity system. It's a forget-proof layer for the things that actually matter. Still there. Until done. Privacy Your core data stays on your device — no accounts, no analytics. Only when you turn on Lock-screen reminders does the app, while the feature is on, send an anonymous device ID, schedule titles, and times to our server so it can deliver the reminder at the scheduled time. Turn it off anytime in Settings — turning it off deletes it. The app group container is shared only with the Mada widget extension on the same device.
