If you know me well, you won’t be surprised that Due is the most important app on my iPhone. The killer feature of Due is its nagging persistence. It doesn’t just ding/buzz at me once; it bugs me every minute until I acknowledge it. Because I’m liable to completely miss the first alert, or ignore the second, but eventually I will attend to it. And if I’ve set an alarm, I need to attend to it. Basically, if I need to remember to do something at a certain time, it goes in Due, and if I forget to put it in Due, I’ll probably forget to do it. I can reduce the nag to 5 minutes or even 60 minutes for less pressing reminders. My family is especially grateful for the “Leave work” alarm that goes off at 4:27 PM every weekday; otherwise, who knows when I’d remember to head home…
