BZ Reminder

Quick reminders and to-dos

The app is designed around setting up a task in a few taps, with alerts, snooze and color marks to tell tasks apart.

Repeating tasks

Reminders can recur, down to every hour; the Play listing gives an hourly reminder to drink water as its example.

Calendar

A calendar view shows all reminders and birthdays by date, alongside the plain list of reminders.

Birthdays

Birthdays and anniversaries can be added by hand or imported from the phone's contacts and are kept synchronized.

Call reminder

The vendor's site lists a call reminder that notifies the user of missed calls and keeps reminding until it is canceled.

Smartwatch support on Android

On an Android Wear watch, a reminder can be created by voice recognition and snoozed or completed from the wrist.

Tasks: To Do List & Reminders

Lists, sublists and subtasks

Lists are color-coded, reordered by drag and drop and can be divided into sublists. Tasks take subtasks, notes, priorities and flags.

Reminders and alarms

Tasks can have one-time or recurring notifications and alarms, and a task can be marked done or snoozed from the notification without opening the app.

Filtered lists, tags and calendar view

A filtered list gathers every task with a chosen tag, and a calendar view shows tasks by date. The free version allows 3 tags; Premium removes the limit.

Home screen widget

A widget mirrors the app on the home screen, so the day's tasks can be seen and a list opened with a tap.

Sync, backup and web app

Premium adds device-to-device sync, automatic cloud backup and a web app that runs in any browser. A manual backup to a local file is available in Settings.

Shared lists

A Premium user can create a shared list and invite others with a link. The list admin can lock the list against new members or remove a person.
