Key features
Due
- Auto Snooze
- An overdue reminder keeps notifying you until it is marked done or rescheduled, at intervals from 1 to 60 minutes. It repeats 5 times by default and up to 10 if configured.
- Quick access times
- A time picker with 12 customizable preset buttons sets or postpones a due date in one tap, and can add or subtract time from the current date.
- Natural date parsing
- Dates and times that you type or dictate are recognized and offered as the due date, for example "at 9am tomorrow".
- Recurring reminders
- Repeats range from daily and weekly to patterns such as the third Wednesday of each month or every 3 months after completion.
- Reusable countdown timers
- Timers are precise to the second, several can run at once, and a timer set up once is kept for reuse.
- iCloud or Dropbox sync
- Reminders and timers sync between iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own iCloud or Dropbox account. There is no Due account, and reminders fire without an internet connection.
Finale To Do
- Detailed tasks and lists
- Tasks take priorities, notes and several reminders, and sit in custom lists with colors, icons and emojis. Smart Lists group tasks automatically, and tasks can be edited in batches.
- Plain-language dates
- Writing a task in natural language sets its date and time automatically. Recognition works in the language the app is set to: English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, French or Russian.
- Reminders and Nagging Mode
- A task can have standard, repeating or several notifications. Unlimited notifications per task, Time Sensitive notifications and Nagging Mode are part of Finale Pro.
- Habit tracker
- Habits have their own colors, icons, schedules, reminders and streaks. Unlimited habits, habit goals and flexible repeat settings need Finale Pro.
- Focus timers
- A Pomodoro timer or a plain stopwatch can be pointed at a specific task, with reminders to take a break or resume. Pomodoro time can sync to Apple Health.
- Shared lists
- With Finale Pro a list can be shared with any number of people as editors or viewers and worked on in real time. iCloud sync must be on to share or join a list.
