My problem with this kind of calendar reminder is, if I don't act on it immediately, it's gone forever and I notice it, at best, next time it's "time" to change the furnace filter.

It would be super helpful to me to have a calendar reminder that succinctly said "you said you wanted to do this every 6 months, and now it's 23 days overdue" (and then when I finally do the thing, schedule the next one for 6 months after that day, not 6 months after I was supposed to do it in the first place).

Various "habit tracker" apps do this pretty well, but they don't fit in with my calendar.

org-mode with its agenda does this beautifully. But then that only really runs in emacs.

Usually I get the notification for this thing, and I never get rid of the notification until I act on it
