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. Make it yours Choose a font, an accent color and a background for your list, or use one of your own photos, and show your reminders as cards. 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. When Siri reads a reminder on your AirPods, say “mark it done” or “snooze it.” Natural language input Type it like you'd say it. "Call mom every Sunday." Timely parses the date, time, and repeat settings automatically, and "when I get home" sets it to one of your saved places. 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/

Most habit trackers ask one question: did you do it? Mitia asks how much. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 47. Before that I spent decades thinking I was simply bad at sticking with things, and every tracker I tried agreed with me: tick or no tick. A check-in is a tap. Tap again to clear it. Hold to open the scale from 0 to 5, because a short walk and an hour outside are not the same thing. A deliberate 0 counts as an entry too. BUILT FOR ADHD BRAINS No streak counter punishes a quiet Tuesday here. The default view shows sixteen weeks at once, and across sixteen weeks a thin week looks like what it is: a thin week. FOUR WAYS TO LOOK AT IT Overview gives each habit a heat map across the weeks. Today shows what is still open. Last 5 days is for catching up. History lays out a full year, one habit at a time. REMINDERS THAT FIT THE DAY Daily, at your time. Once you have checked in, the day goes quiet. Once your weekly target is met, the week does. A medication reminder is allowed through Focus mode. And when it all gets to be too much, one switch mutes them. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account, no cloud, no ads. Habits and check-ins live in a database on your phone and nowhere else. I cannot see any of it. Delete the app and the data goes with it. FREE AND PRO Three habits free, with everything around them: every view, every reminder, the export. Mitia Pro lifts the limit, adds the statistics screen and a widget that checks in straight from the home screen. Checking in itself is never behind the paywall, in any version. Mitia speaks English, German and Spanish and follows your phone. SUBSCRIPTION Mitia Pro comes as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown above on this page. A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Billed through your Apple ID, cancel any time in iOS Settings under Subscriptions.
