I made this app for myself as the normal reminder apps just allowed me to ignore the reminders. This app really doesn't let you ignore them, it'll annoy you every minute until you deal with the reminder! I figured other people might be like me too so here it is! Dealing with the reminder might be stopping it as you've taken care of the task, or snoozing it as now might not be the best time. Your reminders can be recurring, every day of the week, or select days of the week or even monthly. Use Insistent as a reminder for anything that you can't afford to forget; taking a pill, paying a bill, doing a chore, calling your dearest mother, you name it! This app could be useful for those with ADHD where things out of sight are quickly forgotten. Word of caution though, don't let the app rule your life and bombard you with reminders throughout the day as that could end up making things worse!

Stop ignoring your to-do list. Meet Until Done. Most task managers send you one polite reminder, let you swipe it away, and completely forget about it. That doesn’t work for chronic procrastinators. Until Done is built differently. It’s not just a productivity app; it’s a digital drill sergeant that refuses to be ignored. Our philosophy is simple: we will annoy you until it's done. When a task deadline hits, the app enters "Spam Mode." It will relentlessly bombard your phone with notifications, starting every single minute. You can't just swipe them away to make them stop. The only way to silence the app and regain your peace is to open it and actually mark the task as complete. KEY FEATURES: - Relentless Overdue Spam: Once a deadline passes, prepare for an onslaught. The app uses an aggressive notification loop that guarantees you won't "accidentally" miss a task. - Smart Escalation Engine: The app starts by notifying you every minute. If you stubbornly ignore it, the intervals dynamically adjust (Exponential Backoff) to keep nagging you for days without draining your battery. - Precision Pre-Reminders: Want to avoid the spam? Set exact reminders before the deadline hits. We act like a sniper for early alerts and a spam-bus when you're late. - Ultra-Minimalist Design: A beautiful, clean, distraction-free interface with full Dark Mode support. No unnecessary charts or clutter—just you and the things you need to finish. - Works Offline: Our custom notification engine schedules alerts directly on your device. No cloud syncing delays, no excuses. WHO IS THIS FOR? - People who constantly swipe away standard reminders. - Anyone struggling with procrastination or ADHD who needs a stronger external push. - Users who want a no-nonsense, aggressive approach to their daily backlog. Stop lying to yourself that you'll "do it later." Download Until Done today, and let us force you to be productive.
