Due overview

Due lets you type "Make dinner reservation at 9am tomorrow" and your reminder is set for 9 AM tomorrow. "Cancel subscription in 1 month" and you get a buzz a month later. Just tell Due in your own words what you'd like to do, and when you'd like to be reminded.

There are no awkward date pickers to fight with, nor rigid date and time format to follow. Your reminder is set as soon as you're done typing. Due makes sure things actually get done by keeping you on your toes, sending you periodic reminders until you actually mark the reminders complete.

Features
  • Fast. Really fast. Reminders are set as soon as you finish typing what to do, and when to do it.
  • Natural date and time parsing. No awkward date pickers nor rigid date and time format to follow. Set due date and time by typing what is natural to you. "4pm" works just as fine as "4:00 PM" or "16:00", and "Aug 22" works as well as "22 August" or "8/22". Relative dates like "in 20 mins" or "in 6 months" work too.

Hi there. I have used many similar apps but your app rates as the best. Keep it up! I have two requested that would make the app perfect to me. If at all possible could a QUICK ACCESS TIMES menu as in the iPhone app be incorporated in the reminders editor of the Mac app. It would speed up postponing reminders to a specific date/time which I am constantly doing. I love the 12 button grid with it's options on the iPhone. Also, being able to drag and reorder reminders with the same time/date would be a huge help. I sometimes have a large number of items at the same time, say 9am, and need to order them, without change the times (e.g. 9:05, 9:10, 9:15e etc) which is a real pain. Due is my daily think pad so reordering would be invaluable. I would hugely appreciate it if you could consider these two suggestions. All the best and again, keep up the good work!! Jeff

I own a few Mac alarm apps and timer apps, but Due has replaced them. That said, I mostly use apps (especially Due) on my iPhone for these tasks. If you have an iPhone get Due. If you have an iPhone with Due, this Mac app is nice for the sync but ultimately it is superfluous. I use the iOS app for daily, weekly, week-long, and monthly reminders. The alert sounds are great, especially if you need something that you won't accidentally ignore. It's become essential on my phone. But the Mac app - not so much.

I use it every day and I think I would be lost without it. The new dark theme is a great improvement IMO, but they've added a light theme for those who prefer that.

iCloud sync is totally broken (at least for me). Without a stable sync with iPhone it's not near as useful as standard Reminders. Unfortunately, there's no trial for OSX and no lite free version for IOS to try before spending 2 x $5 on software that just doesn't work properly.

easy use, nice graphics, great functions ... this app is worth every penny! iCloud-sync between my mac and my phone/ipad and direct sync with Agenda in my iPhone/iPad. (5 stars under "features" when sync between ical and due in Mac (like Agenda in iOS))

Great app and a developer which listens to his users. Latest release now with Menu Bar Icon. Highly recommended on both Mac OS and iOS

Very nice. I started with iCloud sync, but I am wondering if there are any advantages in using this versus Dropbox sync (or vice versa). Is one faster, more responsive, more reliable, etc? I agree with the other commentaries that this is a very promising contender in the very competitive task alarm market; I am also looking towards its future development.

I love Due on both my iPhone and iPad and now have the chance to use it on the Mac as well. Syncing (Dropbox in my case) is without any problem. Alternatively you can use iCloud. Great App to increase your workflow. Love to see a menu bar icon for Due but developer is very keen on regularly updating so can't wait what will be improved in a next release !

I use Due on my iPhone all the time. It's focus isn't replacing your task app or even match up with current To Do apps. What it excels at is setting timers and quickly letting you see where you are in the process. I have a varied work schedule and Due really helps keep me focused on upcoming tasks. I plan to use it in conjunction with more full fledged task app like Omnifocus or The Hit List. The Mac version adds natural language input. A very welcome feature. Dropbox or iCloud sync has been solid as well.
