For daily reminders to leave home to pick up my kids before traffic and parking gets jammed up at their school. For reminders to give my kids the next dosage of their anti-nausea medicine every six hours on marathon flights to Europe or Asia. However, for anything time-critical, I create a reminder in Due on my phone. I do use calendar reminders on my computer for most routine tasks, appointments, and events. Ten repetitions provide more than enough nagging for my purposes. I set most of my reminders to “Every 5 minutes,” and I’ve adjusted the global auto snooze settings in the app to repeat at least ten times. Due can auto snooze any overdue items indefinitely when you launch Due or act on any of its notifications. According to the Due listing in the App Store:īy default, auto snooze repeats 5 times, and can be configured to repeat up to 10 times. I think because of Apple restrictions, the app cannot nag you indefinitely. (Unfortunately, the app does not offer a custom option.) Even though it doesn’t have a custom option, Due offers enough snooze intervals to meet most needs. The other intervals available are 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. For example, I’ve set the reminder in the screenshot below to repeat every minute until I mark it done. If you snooze (or simply ignore) a reminder from the app, the alert will repeat again and again at whatever time interval you specify. The key differentiator in Due is the Auto Snooze feature. Due is one of my all-time favorite iOS apps. I purchased the app in 2014, and I’ve been a loyal user ever since. The first release of Due was in 2010 for iOS 4. I knew right away that I had discovered a winner. After searching for reminders apps and test driving a few, I found Due. What I needed was a reminder app that would nag me until I completed a task. 
Then, I’d space out and completely forget about the reminder. I found that if I were in the middle of something when a reminder alert appeared (or chimed), I would dismiss it. In my early iPhone days, I tried using the native Reminders app from Apple. In my experience, alerts in other reminder and calendar apps are too easy to dismiss and forget. I use it for any critical reminder that I don’t want to miss. One of the indispensable apps on my iPhone is the Due reminder app.
