Tired of "Notification Blindness"? We've all been there: a reminder pops up, you're busy for a second, you swipe it away—and then you forget completely. Most reminder apps notify you once and give up. RemindPro is different. Built for those who need a little extra push—including busy professionals, students, and the ADHD community—RemindPro ensures your most important tasks break through the noise. WHY REMINDPRO IS BETTER: While standard apps are passive, RemindPro is proactive. It doesn't just remind you; it stays with you until the job is done. CORE FEATURES: 1. PERSISTENT "NAG" PROFILES Choose how much "push" you need for every task: * Gentle: 3 pings at 5, 15, and 30 minutes. * Normal: 4 pings to keep you on track. * Aggressive: 5 rapid-fire pings for urgent deadlines. * Custom: Design your own escalation chain. 2. WORKS AROUND YOUR CALENDAR A reminder that would land in the middle of a meeting waits, then fires the moment it ends. Read-only access — your events are never changed and never leave your device — and you choose which calendars count. 3. PROOF YOU DID IT See exactly when you marked something done: today's times, the gap between each one, and previous days. For anyone who has ever stood in the kitchen wondering whether they already took today's dose. 4. LIVE ACTIVITIES & DYNAMIC ISLAND Keep your next "nag" in sight. Our Live Activities provide a real-time visual countdown on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you always know exactly how much time you have left to act. 5. SMART ALARMS (ALARMKIT) For mission-critical reminders, standard notifications aren't enough. RemindPro can trigger actual alarms that break through Silent Mode and Do Not Disturb, ensuring you wake up or speak up when it matters most. 6. STREAKS & HABIT INSIGHTS Turn consistency into a game. Track your streaks with a built-in grace period and view beautiful analytics dashboards to see when you're most productive. Export your data to CSV for deeper analysis. 7. LOCATION-AWARE TRIGGERS Get reminded exactly when you arrive or leave. Pro Tip: Set "Active Windows" so your grocery list only pings you when the store is actually open. 8. APPLE ECOSYSTEM FIRST * Apple Watch: A full-featured companion app for your wrist. * Siri Shortcuts: "Hey Siri, I took my meds" – mark tasks done with just your voice. * Widgets: Interactive Home Screen widgets to mark tasks done instantly. * iCloud Sync: Your reminders, perfectly synced across all your devices. 9. INTELLIGENT & BEAUTIFUL * Smart Icons: Our AI-powered engine automatically assigns the perfect icon based on your task title (e.g., "Gym" gets a dumbbell). * Premium Design: A modern, high-contrast interface using custom Syne & DM Sans typography that makes productivity feel like a premium experience. PERFECT FOR: * ADHD Management: Persistence that acts as an external executive function. * Medication Tracking: Never miss a dose with "Aggressive" nagging. * Daily Habits: Build streaks for water, exercise, and mindfulness. * Time-Sensitive Work: Stay on top of meetings and deadlines. Stop forgetting. Start doing. Download RemindPro today.

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.
