Reminders app

Remember the right thing at the right time.

Reminders ring on your phone or computer even when OnlyList is closed. Finish or snooze straight from the notification, and let the important ones nag until they're done.

Reminder times

Ring at the moment that's useful.

Pick when a reminder should reach you, not just when the task is due.

  • At the time, 15 minutes before, or an hour before.
  • The morning of, or the day before.
  • Keep reminding until done nudges again every 10 minutes for the must-not-miss ones.

Snooze

Not now? Snooze it, don't lose it.

Snooze a task to later today, this evening, tomorrow or next week. From a notification, snooze for an hour or until tomorrow. Snoozed tasks step out of the way and come back on time.

  • Finish a task right from the notification.
  • Missed tasks wait in From earlier instead of piling up in red.

Repeats

Set it once. Let it come back politely.

Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or every 2 weeks. Repeat from the due date or from when you finish, stop at an end date, and skip one without breaking the series.

  • Great for bills, bins, birthdays and plants.
  • Upcoming shows what's coming, day by day.
