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”.

EU president throws her full weight behind the Netanyahu & Trump attacks on Iran, while negotiations were ongoing.
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.

With most apps, "[feature] enable push notifications" is just a line in the changelog, not a segment on BBC News.

Patients to receive reminders and test results via the NHS App
Millions more patients will receive appointments, screening invitations and other important information via the NHS App, as part of £50million upgrade.

There seem to be constant reminders of the disastrous mistakes that led up to the most catastrophic American foreign policy decision in recent memory -- the war on Iraq.
Despite the costly lessons of the past and the flashing warning signs before us today,
Trump seems poised to press the button on joining Israel’s attack on Iran.
Doing so could be an even bigger mistake.
The echoes are numerous:
A complete disregard for international law and diplomatic alternativ…

Can the United States Really Be Marching Toward This Madness Again?
The eerie echoes of Iraq and 2003 are numerous. But there are some key differences—and they make going into Iran an even greater act of folly.

Caregiver-in-the-Loop AI: A Simulation-Based Feasibility Study for Dementia Task Verification
Caregivers of people living with dementia (PLwD) experience stress when verifying whether tasks are truly completed, even with digital reminder systems. Generative AI, such as GPT-4, may help by automating task verification through follow-up questioning and decision support. This feasibility study evaluates an AI-powered task verification system integrated with digital reminders for PLwD. It examines (1) GPT-4's ability to generate effective follow-up questions, (2) the accuracy of an AI-driv…

Crikey, I now have no undismissed reminders in my Thunderbird calendar. The closest I'm ever likely to get to #InboxZero

What I'd like to have is a todo list that stays on your screen on top of everything else until you're done with everything.
The UI should still allow you to work and do other stuff, of course - what I want is something that a) doesn''t use or require reminders and notifications, and b) annoys me just enough for me to actually do that stuff.
Is there such a wondrous beast?

For some reason, Apple Mail decided to send me five email reminders this morning 🤷‍♂️

OpenAI is updating ChatGPT to remind users to take breaks if they chat with AI for a long period of time.

@… That’s cool, I should definitely try Things. I was put off by the Apple-only-ness but that’s for task tracking, which I need in general, but I think I’d be fine with it for daily reminders.

Anyone ever see one of these before on iOS? I don’t use the reminders app. I don’t know anyone by the name Iaoqi Meng. Is this some new kind of #phish ? I can’t figure out where it came from. I have no email messages or calendar items that match this #cybersecurity

Apparently Donald Trump doesn’t want the public to see reminders of his immediate predecessors when they visit the White House.
Portraits of former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and George H.W. Bush have been relocated from prominent public display to the top of a staircase that few people can access, CNN reported

Trump moves Obama, Bush portraits to hidden stairwell
Once a dramatic feature of the White House entryway, the official portrait of former President Barack Obama has been moved to a decidedly less prominent position, underscoring the years-long tensions between the 44th and 47th presidents.

Human-Robot Teaming Field Deployments: A Comparison Between Verbal and Non-verbal Communication
Healthcare workers (HCWs) encounter challenges in hospitals, such as retrieving medical supplies quickly from crash carts, which could potentially result in medical errors and delays in patient care. Robotic crash carts (RCCs) have shown promise in assisting healthcare teams during medical tasks through guided object searches and task reminders. Limited exploration has been done to determine what communication modalities are most effective and least disruptive to patient care in real-world sett…
