Most reminder apps nudge you once, then give up. Easy to miss, easy to ignore — and the thing doesn't get done. Timely keeps reminding you until you actually mark it complete. Persistent notifications Pick how often you're reminded per task: every 5 minutes, every 15, every hour. Timely keeps nudging until it's done. Configure it task-by-task. High priority alarms For the things you truly can't miss, turn on High priority and Timely sounds an audible alarm at the due time, breaking through Silent and Focus modes, and staying on screen until you act on it. Part of Timely Pro. Location-based reminders Get reminded when you arrive somewhere or leave it: take out the trash when you get home, grab milk when you leave work. Give a reminder a due date too, and whichever comes first wins. Part of Timely Pro. Add reminders by voice Just ask Siri: "Add a to-do in Timely." Say what you want, when, and how often — hands-free. Natural language input Type it like you'd say it. "Pick up dry cleaning Thursday at 5pm" or "Call mom every Sunday." Timely parses the date, time, and repeat settings automatically. Also on your Mac Timely has a native Mac app that lives in your menu bar, reminds you there, and shares one list with your iPhone. Timely Pro is a universal purchase, so one subscription covers both. Flexible repeat scheduling Daily, weekly, custom intervals, or complex patterns. Build the exact schedule you need. Perfect for Medications, water breaks, habits, chores, appointments, follow-ups — anything you can't afford to forget. — Privacy Policy: https://www.andyreed.design/timely/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Miss notifications? See them but think "I'll do it later" and completely forget? Looopit is a persistent reminder app designed for your recurring tasks. It simply won't stop nudging you until you actually get them done. ■ The 3 Levels of Persistence [1. Persistent Alerts] Notifies you at the exact time and repeats until completed. You have full control over the intervals and frequency. [2. Relentless Snooze] Keeps sending snooze alerts at your specified interval until you explicitly tap "Done". [3. iOS 26 Full-Screen Notifications] Fully compatible with iOS 26 full-screen alerts. For your most critical reminders, Looopit takes over the entire screen so you literally can't miss them. ■ Key Features - Flexible Recurrence: "The 3rd Wednesday," "End of the month," or "Every 5 days"—handles any schedule you throw at it. - Timeless Tasks: Registered a task with only a date? Get bulk reminders at your preferred times throughout the day. -Chime Mode: Just need a gentle nudge? This mode chimes to let you know it's time—no swiping or completion required. - Smart Tags: Categorize with tags like [Work] or [Family], and filter your list instantly. - Quiet Hours: Automatically pauses snoozes during your bedtime or deep focus hours, and resumes them when you're ready. - Time Zone Support: Traveling abroad? Choose to be alerted at your "Usual Time" or "Local Time". ■ For 'Due' Users Like Due, Looopit excels at recurring routines and persistent nudges. But it goes a step further: you can set multiple days of the week for a single task, or easily add end conditions like "End after 5 times" or "Repeat until [Date]". ■ Pricing The free version allows you to complete up to 15 tasks per month. A monthly subscription removes this limit. That’s it—simple, transparent, and fair. ■Terms of Use: https://looopit.1-b.jp/en/terms.html
