Remindera vs Pester

Most reminder apps ping you once and quit. Remindera follows up until it’s handled - on your terms - so you don’t have to worry about forgetting. You know the feeling: you see a reminder, mean to deal with it, and it quietly slips away. Remindera is built for the things that can't slip. It follows up more than once, on your schedule and in a voice you choose, until the task is actually handled. PERSISTENT, ON YOUR TERMS Set a plain reminder and Remindera keeps nudging, calmly, until it's done. Give it a deadline and it does more: the reminders come more often and grow more urgent as the day approaches, so the things that matter can't quietly pass you by. Either way, only during the active hours you set. No 3am pings, no guilt. A VOICE THAT SUITS YOU Choose the tone you'd actually want to hear from: • Gentle - Supportive, ADHD-friendly, zero guilt • Cheeky - Playful, bold, drama included • Dry - Wry observations, no exclamation marks • Wild - Surprising, ever-changing, occasionally unhinged • Efficient - Minimal, professional, action-oriented BUILT FOR RECURRING LIFE ADMIN Bills, rent, chores, renewals, appointments, birthdays, promises. Remindera handles the cadences real life runs on: daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, the last weekday of the month, alternating-week schedules, and more. KEEP IT VISIBLE, NOT JUST PUSHED Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep what matters in view, so you catch it with a glance instead of waiting for another notification. SIMPLE TO SET UP, CLEAR TO FOLLOW Powerful scheduling, without the fuss. Your list shows each reminder's next time and recurrence at a glance. Tap any to see its full schedule, cadence, and active hours. And as you set one up, a timeline shows exactly when the follow-ups begin and end, so you know what will happen before you count on it. Remindera is free to use and stays free, with an optional Plus upgrade for unlimited recurring schedules. Remindera is a general reminder app for everyday tasks and routines, but isn't intended for emergency, medical, or safety-critical use.

Pester is a persistent reminder app that refuses to let you forget. Unlike quiet notification apps that ping you once and give up, Pester keeps nagging — firing the same reminder every few minutes until you mark it done or snooze it. No more "I'll do it later" followed by "I completely forgot." NEW IN 2.0 — REBUILT FROM THE GROUND UP Pester is now a 100% native iOS app: faster, smoother, and more reliable than ever. Plus: • Home Screen widget with one-tap Mark Done • Create reminders with Siri and Shortcuts • Yearly repeats for birthdays, renewals, and anniversaries • A searchable Logbook of everything you've finished • Redesigned notifications, snooze actions, and reminder list WHAT MAKES PESTER DIFFERENT • Auto-snooze: Set a reminder and walk away. If you ignore it, Pester fires again minutes later — your choice per reminder. It doesn't stop until you act. • Lightning-fast input: Type "Call mom in 30 minutes" and Pester understands. Natural language parsing means you spend less than 3 seconds creating a reminder. Or tap a quick-time button — Morning, Noon, Evening, +1 hour — and you're done. • Action from your Lock Screen: Snooze for 10 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, or tomorrow — all from the Lock Screen. No need to open the app. Or tap Done and move on. • Repeating reminders: Daily, weekdays, weekends, specific days of the week, monthly, or yearly. Your "take vitamins" reminder fires every morning without you lifting a finger. • Survives reboots: Restart your phone and your reminders are still there, still firing on schedule. Most reminder apps silently break after a reboot — Pester doesn't. DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO FORGET Built for anyone who dismisses notifications and immediately forgets, sets reminders that never fire loud enough, or struggles with ADHD and needs aggressive, repeated prompts to stay on track. No categories. No tags. No projects. No planning features. Just a title, a time, and relentless persistence. SIMPLE, PRIVATE, LOCAL • No account required — Pester works the instant you install it • No cloud, no servers, no data collection — your reminders live on your phone • Manual backup and restore through the iOS share sheet (save to iCloud Drive, Files, email — your choice) • One-time purchase, no subscriptions, no ads CUSTOMIZABLE SOUNDS AND THEMES • 4 bundled alert sounds ranging from a soft chime to an urgent alarm • System default sound option uses whatever you've set on your phone • Light and dark themes that follow your system setting or can be set manually • Configurable snooze presets and quick-time buttons — Pester. Forget-proof reminders for people who actually forget.
