How do you use Due?

FYI we discussed this a few month ago:

Due App — Persistent And Noisy

On different threads they commented on Due, the persistant reminder app. Today a new iOS version was released. Out to breakfast with a friend, we commiserated. We could use more self-inflicted reminders. I’m curious about what other folks have to say about this app.

I use it for alerts I need to know about, but which I too often miss in the anemic popup/beep in iOS apps. If iOS alerts could be as repeatable, persistent and noisy as Due with its Nautical Bells sound (which I can hear through earbuds hanging off my neck) I wouldn’t need Due.

I have a repeating wake-up alarm set for 2 minutes after my HomePod alarm, which I find I need because I occasionally fall back in bed after slapping the top of the HomePod in the morning. (I could use Due by itself as an alarm clock, but I like the HomePod’s alarm sound.)

I also use it to give me an x-minute heads-up on an event I have to leave for or call into.

Just to make sure I keep myself aware, I put inside Due a week’s advance notice of expirations of software and magazine subscriptions and domain registrations, and a few hours’ notice before important personal/work appointments.
