Why reminders fail
You set the reminder, it rang, and the job is still not done. The failure happens after the notification. Here is what has to change.
Guides
Short, plain answers on why reminders fail and how a shared one can keep going until the job is done.
Reminders that keep nagging
How Ok Donkey keeps a reminder going: every 2, 5 or 10 minutes for up to 30 minutes, a grace window for the first person, then everyone else.
Family reminders
Share one reminder with your family. Ok Donkey nags one person first, then everyone else, and one Done closes it for all. Invites by email.
Repeating reminders
Daily, weekday, weekend or every few hours. A repeating reminder in Ok Donkey keeps nagging until Done, and keeps a missed time visible.
Alarm reminders
On Android and on iOS 26 and later, Ok Donkey rings like an alarm over the lock screen and keeps going until someone taps Done. How it works on each phone.
