About

EasyDue

Features
Read full description

EasyDue is a reminders app for the things you actually have to do. Most reminder apps notify you once. If you're driving, in a meeting, or half asleep, that notification is gone and so is the task. EasyDue keeps nudging until the thing is genuinely done. CAPTURE IN PLAIN LANGUAGE Type "pay rent on the 1st of every month" or "call the dentist Friday at noon" and EasyDue works out the date and the repeat as you type. Add a #category to file it. Paste a link and it moves into its own field. ALERTS THAT DON'T GIVE UP Turn on Auto Snooze and an overdue reminder re-alerts on your schedule — every minute if that's what it takes — until you complete or postpone it. Press and hold any alert to mark it done or push it to one of your own quick times, without opening the app. DONE MEANS DONE EVERYWHERE Complete a reminder on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch and every other device goes quiet. Everything syncs privately through your own iCloud account. BUILT FOR REAL SCHEDULES • Repeats that match life — monthly on the last weekday, every third Tuesday, or counted from when you actually finish • Twelve Quick Access Times you define, one tap away in the app and on the notification itself • Categories with colours, so you can see at a glance what a reminder belongs to • Vacation Mode — mark reminders or whole categories to stay silent while you're away, then pick up with the next occurrence • Urgent alerts that break through Focus modes • Notes and a link on any reminder, so "pay rent" can take you straight to your bank • Logbook of everything you've completed • Home screen widget, Apple Watch app, and a watch complication • Import your backup from Due PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No servers. Your reminders live on your devices and in your personal iCloud, and we cannot read them. EASYDUE PRO The free tier keeps 3 active reminders. EasyDue Pro removes the cap and adds Urgent alerts and Due backup import: $1.99/month or $10.99/year. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
