Can I set a reminder that repeats every day?
Yes. Pick a time and a repeat of every day. It rings again until it is done.
Repeating reminders that come back until the habit is done.
A repeat in Ok Donkey is not just a notification at the same time every day. Each time it comes round it keeps ringing until someone taps Done, and a miss stays on the record.

The schedules there are
Days, hours and minutes add together, so “every 1 day 12 hours” works. Or pick weekdays, weekends or chosen days. Each reminder has its own time, ring interval and people.
Habits people set up
- Watering the plants: Sunday at 09:00, ring every 10 minutes.
- Dog’s evening pill: every day at 21:00, nag Jamie first, then everyone after 10 minutes. See the heart medicine example.
- The bins: Tuesday at 19:00, take turns.
- Calling Mum: Sunday, a daytime window that stays quiet until the deadline.
A time of day, or an exact time
An exact time starts the alarm then, and you can mark it done from 15 minutes before. A daytime window stays quiet from the moment it opens, and the alarm starts only if it is still open at the deadline.
If you miss a day
The time becomes “missed” 30 minutes after it started, and stays in History. Lately shows the last 20 times of each reminder as dots, with Week and Month beside it, so you can see the pattern.
Keeping it from becoming noise
Choose a 5 or 10 minute ring interval for the calmer jobs. Pick a long grace window so others are only called in when it matters. On holiday, others take your turns.
What is not there
No streaks, points, levels or badges. There is the log, the dots, and an optional weekly email. That is the whole habit system.
Questions
Can I have weekdays only?
Yes, or weekends only, or any chosen days.
Is Ok Donkey a habit tracker?
No. It is a reminder that keeps ringing until the job is done. The log shows what happened, with no streaks or scores.
Can it repeat every few hours?
Yes. Days, hours and minutes add together.
Pick one habit you keep skipping.
Ok Donkey is free, with no adverts and no tracking. Set one reminder, share it with one person, and see how it goes.
Ok Donkey is not a medical device and gives no medical advice. A missed alert can still happen. Do not use it as the only reminder where a miss could cause harm.
