Hello, does anyone know of a tasks app that will keep sending reminders every x minutes until you check off a task? I have to take a pill at a specific time every day but I am absolutely terrible with reminders and I get constantly distracted. Often I see the notif/alarm but just ignore it or immediately forget about it. I wish there was a way to keep getting alarms until I actually check off that I took the pill.

    I had an app that I used for this, I really wish I could remember what it was called… Because i needed more functionality I later set up the same behaviour up with tasker, but have since moved to an alarm

    Edit: I wasn’t able to find what I used to use, but if you search “repeating reminder” on the play store you get a ton of options that seem like they’d work, including some specifically for medications

      Google Play Apps list for not installed apps.

      You may be able to find the app in the list of not installed apps! There’s also a possibility that the app is now abandonware and no longer works on modern Android versions though :(.

        If it’s in there, I wasn’t able to find it, but thank you so much for letting me know this existed, I had no idea that was a thing!

          Oh, that’s a pity. It’s nice to go down the nostalgia lane of old apps and games you used to use though, haha

            It definitely was! So many apps I tried and had completely forgotten about, it took ages to scroll through them all 😅
