Honorable mention this week goes to Due [Mac, $10; iOS, $5], a pair of apps for Mac and iOS that allow you to “jot down a task and set up a reminder really, really fast.” Again, not a new app—just one that I’ve put off buying for far too long.

I’ve used a combination of Alarms and Again for recurring tasks on my Mac since before Reminders was available and have continued to do so for the nagging reminders that Alarms provides.

Due replaces these apps and extends its capability to iOS through Dropbox or iCloud syncing. Each alarm can be set to auto-snooze for one minute or one hour (there are several additional intervals on OS X) and it will continue to remind me until I actually mark the task done. I find this much preferable to the behavior of Reminders, which on OS X will only remind me again if I manually snooze it—and will do that only every 15 minutes—and on iOS can’t be snoozed at all.

If that were all Due could do it would be enough, but Due also has timers and quick reschedule options, and even allows you to share reminders. I’m impressed and use it for multiple reminders throughout the month.
