Need: Get periodically reminded to do certain things / tasks (e.g. taking Vitamin D3 daily)
Other programs I’ve tried: Any calendar or To-Do List app
There are a lot of things that I have to do regularly, but are hard to keep track off. In my calendar they would drown out the important events and in my To-Do Lists, they were not salient enough. This app allows me to create recurring notifications and set them to appear at specified times. Its ideal for keeping track of which supplements / medication you should take at what time and also perfectly suitable to be reminded to switch out contact lenses monthly or wash your bed sheets.
I use Loop Habit Tracker [Android app] for a similar purpose. It’s free and open source and allows notifcations to be set and then habits ticked off. The notifcations can be made sticky too.
Google Keep has this feature if you don’t want to use a whole app for this feature. On any note you can click the bell to make it notify you at a set time and on a set schedule.
(I really like Keep as a note taking app but haven’t tried Apple notes, evernote or others so I didn’t recommend it at the top level)
I use Life Reminders for this on Android. One nice feature is that the notifications persist until you tell it the task is done (or tell it to sleep until later).
Edit: I have switched to Samsung’s App “Reminder”, due to it being better supported and having additional features.
Software: Notification Maker (Android)

Great!
+ helps prevent clogging my gcalendar when I abuse of if for similar purpose
- so far only on android, no win desktop/browser interface (?)
