Pealo or Due?

Due is a reminders app that repeats a notification until you mark the item done, and it does not read a calendar, so every item is typed in. Pealo reads Google Calendar, Outlook and iCloud and schedules a real system alarm before each event automatically. Due is for tasks you postpone; Pealo is for meetings you miss.

When is Due the better fit?

Due is excellent at what it does. It is just not a calendar alarm. Due sits in the full nine-app comparison of calendar alarm options, which covers seven other ways to get an alarm from an event.

Pick Due for tasks you keep postponing

Take the medication, send the invoice, move the car. Due nags until it is done, which is the point.

Pick Pealo for meetings

A meeting does not need nagging. It needs one alarm you cannot miss, at the right time, without typing anything in.

Due does not read calendars

Every Due reminder is created by hand. Pealo reads Google, Outlook and iCloud and creates alarms on its own.

Use both

Due for the to-do list, Pealo for the calendar. They do not overlap.
