ToDue

The reminder that won't let go. Most reminders ping once and vanish. The ones that matter deserve better. ToDue keeps nudging you—again and again—until you actually mark it done or push it to later. HOW IT WORKS • Type it in two seconds. "Call the dentist tomorrow 9am" — ToDue reads the date, time and repeat for you. • It comes back. Pick how insistent each reminder is, from a gentle tap to relentless nudging. • Always in sight. Active reminders live on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a live countdown to the next nudge—act right from there. • Done in one tap. Complete, snooze, or reschedule (in 1 hour, tonight, tomorrow) without opening the app. NOT ANOTHER TO-DO APP No projects. No folders. No tags. No endless lists to manage. ToDue does one thing—make sure you don't forget what matters—and does it beautifully. FREE • Up to 5 active reminders • Smart natural-language input • Simple, reliable alerts PRO — one-time purchase, no subscription Pro is free for your first 7 days—no card, nothing to cancel. Try the full escalation before you decide. • Unlimited reminders • Relentless escalation that won't quit • Live Activity & Dynamic Island • Apple Watch app & complications • Custom alert sounds PRIVACY Your reminders sync privately through your own iCloud. No account, no tracking, no data collected by us. ToDue. Set it once. It won't let you forget.

NanoPad is a quiet place to catch a thought, keep a checklist, and save a useful link. Notes, tasks, and URLs stay connected: write in a note, then find the task or link in its own view. WRITE YOUR WAY Use Markdown or the formatting toolbar for headings, lists, checkboxes, tables, links, and images. Search across your notes, return to recently opened work, and export your writing as Markdown, plain text, or PDF. KEEP YOUR NOTES TOGETHER Your notes are stored on your device and sync through your personal iCloud account when available. Share text or a web page to NanoPad from other apps. START FREE, UNLOCK WHEN YOU NEED MORE Free includes five fully editable personal notes, plus iCloud sync and export. If you have more than five notes after a trial or purchase ends, every note stays visible, searchable, copyable, and exportable; the first five remain editable. NanoPad Lifetime is one in-app purchase for unlimited editable notes and every available theme, font, and paper style. You can choose a free 7-day trial of the full app first. It requires no payment and does not renew automatically. When the trial ends, paid features lock unless you buy Lifetime; your writing stays yours. On Mac, the same App Store purchase also unlocks sticky note windows, Focus Writing, and linked Markdown folders.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: NanoPad at every 2 days against ToDue's weekly. ToDue's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
