Persistent reminders. TickTick's implementation is good.
1 comments

what is a persistent reminder?
It keeps spamming notifications until you act on it. Very helpful if you need some help with attention.
I certainly see the notifications for incomplete tasks from Reminders on my lock screen every time I lift my iPhone. I have one I've been ignoring for weeks. Seems pretty persistent to me...
I use the IOS "Due" app for this. I have it set-up to pull out items from Reminders that have days and times assigned.

Makes it really hard to forget those tasks.

I have used that, it's pretty nice! For now I settled on TickTick cause it's easy to use from my Linux laptop and my iOS devices. If you are fully Apple, Due is a good choice.
Also, Due syncs via iCloud, which can be e2e encrypted nowadays.

With TickTick you're storing / sharing your data with a commercial company...
