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!

We've all been there. You're in the shower, driving, or halfway through a biscuit when it hits you — "I still need to do that thing." You tell yourself you'll remember. You won't. Nag Me is the to-do app for one-off tasks that absolutely, positively need doing. No project boards. No Gantt charts. No "productivity system." Just relentless, increasingly irritated reminders until you actually get it done. Choose your nagger: - Naggy Nana — guilt trips and prayers - Sergeant Nag — military-grade shouting - Karen from Accounts — corporate passive-aggression - Professor Pompous — condescending statistics - Disappointed Dad — sighs that could strip wallpaper - Motivational Maniac — aggressive positivity - Petty Flatmate — notes about notes about notes Or choose all of them! Set a deadline and watch the reminders escalate from polite nudge to full-scale meltdown. No deadline? We'll nag you anyway — just less urgently. For now. Naggy Nana, Sageant Nag and Disappointed Dad are available for free. The others are availble with an In App Purchase. Features: - One-off or recurring tasks - Sporadic, unpredictable reminders (harder to ignore) - 4 aggressiveness levels, from "Gentle nudge" to "Absolute nightmare" - Quiet hours, because even Naggy Nana sleeps - Snooze a task to shut them up temporarily - Syncs across devices via iCloud — different persona per device for maximum guilt coverage - Actionable notifications: mark done or snooze straight from the lock screen You asked for this.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Insistent at none against Nag Me's 1. Nag Me's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
