Lots of people are suggesting Apple’s own Reminders app, so perhaps it’s worth explaining why it doesn’t work for me.
I use Reminders all the time as a grocery list, and I find the UI reasonable for that. However, for tasks, I find it confusing and noisy (I prefer Todoist), and I don’t think it’s actually very good at reminding me to do things. It tries once, and gives up until the next day! A strange behaviour, for an app named “Reminders”.

Optical Appearance and Shadow of Kalb-Ramond Black Hole: Effects of Plasma and Accretion Models
In this paper, we study the effect of the presence of plasma and different accretion models on the shadow and optical appearance of static spherically symmetric black holes containing the Kalb-Ramond field. We derive the motion equations for photons around the Kalb-Ramond black hole and constrain the Lorentz symmetry breaking parameters $λ$ and $γ$ using observational data released by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration. The results indicate that, under the static spherical accretion mo…

Reminder! Enable "Manifold" in OpenSCAD... for some reason one of my computers did not have it turned on. I was wondering why rendering was so slow.
(And by "slow" I mean a progress bar appeared for a 10 seconds.)

Reminders:
1) Iran restarted uranium enrichment after Trump withdrew from the agreement in 2018.
2) US intelligence recently stated that Iran did not pursue nuclear weapon development.

In general, the difference between a “to do list” and a “habit reminder” is the latter should remind you several times, almost annoyingly so, because if we need a reminder for a habit, it means we have not formed the habit yet, and therefore we are bad at getting around to doing it.
At least, my squiggly and chaotic brain believes so.

Sales are lagging this month so just a reminder about the kind of things I do.
If you need some custom USB HID or USB MIDI device (or something similar?) maybe I can build it for you?
