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/
