Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.4

GPA, above 27 of the 123 other to-do list apps we grade

Due is a reminder and timer app for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. Its Auto Snooze feature keeps notifying you about an overdue reminder until you mark it done or reschedule it, and a picker with preset times sets or postpones a due date in one tap. The iOS and Mac apps are separate one-time purchases, each with an optional yearly Upgrade Pass for features released more than a year after you buy.

To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Due, taken from its own pages and our grades.

No Due account to set up, and reminders fire with no internet.

The report card

Best for reminders that nag until you act

Due is a reminders app for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac that repeats an overdue alert, 5 times by default, until you mark it done or snooze it. It's $7.99 once, but there's no free version or trial, the Mac app is a separate $14.99, features released after your first year need a yearly Upgrade Pass, and it has no lists or projects. Anyone off Apple devices should look elsewhere.

ToolGPA report cardDueGraded Oct 10, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyA$7.99 once for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, against $48 for a year on this category's middle subscription. The catches: the Mac app is another $14.99, and features released after your first year want a $4.99 yearly Upgrade Pass.
Free plan and trialFNothing is free. Due is a paid download with no free version and no trial at all, so the $7.99 comes before you've set a single reminder or seen the app work.
FeaturesCIt does nagging reminders completely: Auto Snooze every 1 to 60 minutes up to 10 times, preset buttons to postpone in a tap, repeats as fussy as the third Wednesday, reusable timers. But reminders and timers is a smaller job than this category's: no lists, no projects.
Ease of useA4.7 from 2,792 App Store ratings, the top band for this category. Type or dictate "at 9am tomorrow" and it offers that date. No Due account to set up, and reminders fire with no internet.
Platforms and integrationsCApple only: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac, synced through your own iCloud or Dropbox, plus Siri. The Watch app needs the paired iPhone, and the Mac app is a separate purchase.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.4

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who Due is for

  • Fits if you dismiss a notification and then forget the task
  • Works for Apple users with timed reminders, like medication, bills and chores

Who it is not for

  • Not for you if you want to try before you buy, as there's no free version or trial
  • Skip it if you use Android or Windows, as it's sold for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac only
  • Pricey if you want it on a Mac too, since that's a separate $14.99 on top of the $7.99 iOS app
  • Watch out: features released after your first year need the Upgrade Pass, $4.99 a year on iOS and $9.99 on Mac
  • Too light for projects and shared lists, and the Watch app needs your paired iPhone to work

Good to know

Good for

  • People who dismiss a notification and then forget the task
  • Time-bound reminders such as medication, bills and chores
  • Buyers who prefer a one-time purchase on Apple devices

Worth knowing

  • Apple devices only: Due is sold for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac.
  • Due for macOS ($14.99) and Due for iOS ($7.99) are separate purchases.
  • Features released more than a year after purchase need the optional Upgrade Pass: $4.99 a year on iOS, $9.99 on Mac.
  • The Apple Watch app is a companion that requires the paired iPhone to work.

Part 04 · Standing

Where it stands

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own

27/123

Other to-do list apps it is graded above

Due's GPA of 2.4 is higher than 27 of the 123 other to-do list apps we grade, and level with 20.

It stands best on ease of use (A, above 105 of 123) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).

Each grade against the category

Every bar is all 124 to-do list apps we grade, cut by the letter each got. Due’s own letter is outlined.

  • AValue for moneyAbove 69 of 123
  • FFree plan and trialAbove 0 of 123
  • CFeaturesAbove 8 of 123
  • AEase of useAbove 105 of 123
  • CPlatforms and integrationsAbove 19 of 123

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

The plain part of Due you could make: tasks and natural-language input. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 123 other to-do list apps grade higher. It costs $7.99, paid once.

What you could make

  • Tasks and natural-language input: an app builder makes these well.

What you could not

  • A native app living in the menu bar.
  • Apps for macOS and iOS that stay in step with each other.
  • Hooks into the device itself: an Apple Watch app.

What this rests on. Due’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
