Whether it’s a daily medication reminder or a monthly credit card payment – repetitive tasks are easier to handle with recurring reminders. Setting up a recurring reminder is simple and efficient– eliminating the need to set up multiple reminders for the same task. You just set one reminder, and when you complete the recurring task, another task pops up at the next scheduled reminder time.

If you’re a Premium user  you can also create Advanced Recurring reminders: Choose the amount of days/weeks/months between each repetition, decide which days each week the reminder returns, and plan the dates when the reminders will start and end. Take a deep breath and relax as Any.do keeps you reminded of your important, reoccurring life responsibilities.
