Most reminder apps remind you once. If you miss the buzz, your task dies silently in a list you'll check tomorrow. Cue is built on a different idea: a reminder's job isn't to fire — it's to make sure the thing gets done. FREE, ACTUALLY Everything above — the iPhone app, the iPad app, the Apple Watch app — is free. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no locked features. If you also want Cue on your Mac (capture reminders from any app with a global shortcut), Cue for Mac is a separate one-time purchase on the Mac App Store. JUST TYPE IT Type "take meds at 8am daily" or "pay rent tomorrow 5pm". Cue reads dates, times, and repeats from plain English — and shows you exactly how it understood you before saving. No forms, no date pickers, no recurrence menus. IT WON'T LET YOU FORGET Cue alerts you before something is due, then keeps re-alerting every few minutes until you mark it done, missed, or snoozed. No more one-and-done notifications swiped away and lost. Quiet hours make sure persistence never means 2 a.m. buzzing. REPEATS THAT MATCH REAL LIFE If you take a pill at 2pm, the next dose belongs six hours after that — not at whatever time the original schedule said. Cue's flexible repeats count from when you actually completed the task, while appointments and deadlines stay on a fixed schedule. Mention a medication and Cue picks the right behavior automatically. KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED Cue logs every completion and every miss — including overdue reminders it marks missed for you. The History tab is an honest record of what got done and when: invaluable for medications, routines, and anything a doctor (or your own memory) might ask about later. ON YOUR WRIST The included Apple Watch app shows today's reminders and lets you mark them done or missed without touching your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Reminders sync through your own iCloud across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch — they belong to you, and nobody else can read them. CHANGE YOUR MIND, ANY TIME Marked something done by accident? Undo it. Every reminder is editable in place. Nothing in Cue is a one-way door. Also available: Cue for Mac — capture reminders from any app with a global shortcut, synced through the same iCloud. Sold separately on the Mac App Store. Cue is for the things that genuinely can't slip: medication, the form due Friday, the call you promised to make. Type it once, and let Cue carry the weight of remembering. Support & Privacy: Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Linkatory

We all save things online: a video to watch later, an article to finish, a post from Instagram or X we want to find again. Then it disappears into the feed and it's gone. Linkatory is built for that moment. Save any link in one tap from any app, and find it again when you actually need it. Everything stays organized on your device, your way. 1. Save from any app in one tap Linkatory plugs into iOS's native share sheet, so you can save a link from Safari, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, or almost any app without leaving it. It fetches the title, description, and thumbnail on its own. For platforms it recognizes, like the ones above, it also pulls the author and engagement numbers. 2. No account, no subscription Open the app and start saving right away. There's nothing to sign up for. Your library lives in a database on your device, and nothing you save is ever uploaded to a server or tracked. 3. Organize with Collections Group related links into Collections, each with its own color and icon, or leave them unsorted in My Links. Long-press a link to pin, edit, or delete it. You can add a note or tags to anything you save. 4. Search that actually finds things One search bar covers titles, descriptions, notes, tags, and the source site all at once. If you remember any part of a link, you'll probably find it. 5. Read offline You can choose to preserve a page's text, images, or video for reading with no connection at all. Even links you haven't preserved that way still show their saved titles and previews offline, since that part of your library is already on the device. 6. Import, export, and keep your data Moving from another bookmarking app or your browser? Import your existing bookmarks from an HTML, JSON, or CSV file. You can export your whole library as JSON whenever you want, so it's yours to back up or move somewhere else. Linkatory is for anyone with bookmarks scattered across two browsers and three apps, or anyone tired of paying a monthly fee to save links. Import what you already have, keep saving what you find, and it stays in one place you can actually search. Linkatory is free, with no account required.
