For anyone on Android, I never missed any task when I was using COL Reminder [0] which has repeat reminders until you mark something done.

Now I'm using iOS the closest I've found is Due [1] but it's exactly like you said, iPhone notifications are more transient and I have missed stuff.

> The system would be able to nag me more if I do not ack

This is where iOS isn't great, Due seems to get silenced or killed off if it creates too many notifications. So it would be better if there was a nagging service running somewhere else than the phone itself. Maybe an email based nag service would work, something that when a task is due it sends an email every hour until you reply saying "done" or "snooze 1 day" or whatever.
