I picked this keyword from Google autocomplete, not from a hunch. On October 25, 2026, I ran three separate seeds through the autocomplete API (to do list app with reminders, to do list app with alarm, to do list app that reminds you), and the same phrase came back across all three: to do list app with reminders, plus close variants like best to do list app with reminders and to do list app that sends reminders.
So I opened the official app pages of five reminder apps that show up for this search and read what each one actually says about its reminders, not what a roundup article claims about it.
A to do list app with reminders mostly means a louder notification
A to do list app with reminders, in practice, is an app that fires a notification at or before a due time. That is the entire category. The differences are in how persistent that notification is.
TickTick’s Play Store listing describes “instant task to-do list reminder” and “multiple alerts for vital tasks and notes.” Memorigi offers “powerful reminders with recurring patterns” plus a separate “Nag me” feature aimed at procrastination. Microsoft To Do keeps it simple: “reminders with one-time or recurring due dates.” Todoist lets you set a reminder in natural language, like typing “submit report every Friday at 4pm,” and it parses the date and time for you.
The most persistent of the five is Due, an iOS app whose App Store listing describes “Auto Snooze,” which repeats a missed reminder’s notification every 1, 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes until you mark it done or reschedule it. That is the closest any of them get to refusing to leave you alone.
What all five have in common
I read the official Play Store and App Store descriptions for TickTick, Memorigi, Microsoft To Do, Todoist, and Due. None of them require anything more than a tap to dismiss a reminder. Snoozing, marking done, or rescheduling are the only three responses any of them ask for.
Three of the five (Memorigi, Microsoft To Do, and Todoist’s premium tiers) let you attach a file to a task. Memorigi calls them “attachments to upload important files to your tasks.” Microsoft To Do allows up to 25MB per task. In every case, the file is something you add to the task, usually before or during the work, not a record you create after finishing it.
None of the five have a growth or progress visual that survives a missed day. Todoist’s listing calls its recurring tasks a “built-in habit tracker,” which is a streak mechanic by another name: miss the recurrence and the chain breaks. TickTick’s separate Habit tab works the same way.
The gap: nobody asks you to answer, and nobody keeps a record of what you did
Two things are missing from all five apps I checked, and they happen to be the two things I built DreamStore around.
The first is what happens when the reminder fires. Every app I checked treats “stop reminding me” and “I did the thing” as the same action: you tap the notification, or you tap a checkbox, and the reminder goes quiet either way. DreamStore’s wake-up and bedtime todos use a full-screen alarm instead of a notification, and on Android it does not stop until you say your dream or your goal out loud. Any other todo can be switched from a plain notification to this same alarm in its edit sheet, so the loud version is a choice, not a default forced on your whole list.
The second is what happens after you finish. The five apps I checked attach files to a task before or during the work. DreamStore attaches a photo or video to the todo once you have actually done it, as a record of what happened rather than a note about what was planned. My own Play Store listing describes this as a photo and video diary: “attach what you made, where you went, or how you trained to the todo itself.”
I want to be specific about what I am not claiming. I am not saying the five apps I checked are worse at reminding you. Due’s Auto Snooze is arguably more persistent than anything in DreamStore, since it will interrupt you every few minutes indefinitely. What I checked is narrower: none of the five change the action required to stop a reminder, and none of the five turn completion into a photo or video record.
Where DreamStore fits, and where it does not
I built DreamStore, so I will say that plainly before describing it. It is a todo and habit app built around a small planet that grows with each completed todo or routine, with no streaks: a day you skip is not counted against you, and nothing you have already grown is taken away.
The wake-up alarm you have to answer out loud is Android only. On iPhone, the alarm stops the way any iOS system alarm stops, with the standard Stop button, and a separate “Hear affirmation” button opens the app to play your own voice back to you. The iPhone version also does not have the home screen widget or the Pro subscription that the Android version has.
DreamStore is free to use and supported by ads. The optional Pro subscription removes ads and adds more planet decoration slots, a full year of stats, extra widget colors, and higher video and AI limits.
It does not fit if what you actually want from “reminders” is an insistent nag on every task in your list. The loud, must-answer alarm is designed for the one or two anchors in your day, your wake-up and your bedtime, not for twenty reminders firing every few minutes the way Due’s does. If that is what you are searching for, Due is a closer match to that specific need than DreamStore is.
If you came here from a search about habit apps with no streak penalty, I wrote about that gap on its own in a habit tracker without streaks. The voice side of this, creating todos by speaking instead of typing, is a different feature covered in a to do list app with voice.
What I checked, and what I did not
As of October 2026, I read the official Google Play descriptions for TickTick, Memorigi, Microsoft To Do, and Todoist directly, fetched on October 25, 2026. For Due, I relied on a web search that quoted its official App Store listing text rather than opening the listing myself, since I could not load it directly in this session.
I did not install any of the five apps, so I cannot say how the reminder experience actually feels in daily use, only what each listing claims about it. I do not know how many people actually use Due’s Auto Snooze feature, or whether users find it helpful or just annoying. I also do not have independent research on whether a voice-dismissed alarm gets people out of bed more reliably than a tap-dismissed one. That comparison is my own design reasoning, not a measured result.
