For me it's still missing something kind of basic but really important which is the possibility of configuring actions that repeat only when the previous occurrence gets done.
It's only possible to create them on a fixed repeating interval ("every X days/weeks/months"), so when an action does not get done on the day it was created, the next instance does not take that into account.
It starts becoming a mess.
Oh yes! Todoist does this pretty well. This is one of the features why I always go back to Todoist.
I wish they had a lifetime subscription plan ages ago. I would have happily paid for it.

After trying many software I think Nirvana is in the top 3 for GTD. Simple and efficient. Well thought. For sure If I wanted something simple I would use Nirvana. Anyway I use Omnifocus and I can tell you that it is just an astonish tool. You can do whatever you want and I like using perspective for controling my task. Things is great too.

Just realised my Todoist subscription is due for renewal in January 2023. Now, I'm torn! Might renew for this year. I don't have many hopes for NrivananHQ.

If you have a life time licence of Nirvana it os OK . I hate annual subscription. They cost.a lot and for me dont worth the price. Finally when I compare my full licence of Omnifocus (renew is half the price usually) and things licence it cost very less than an annual subscription of most software

I have got a Lifetime subscription to NirvanaHQ. It was a no-brainer at that time. I think it still is! The way how Nirvana integrates next-actions with projects is amazing and that's what keeps me coming back to it.

I am absolutly right with you I love so much this way that I made a perspective on Omnifocus which does exactly the same.

So, disappointingly, the new reminders feature in NirvanaHQ's android app doesn't seem to work. Anyone had any joy with it? Doesn't seem to fire anything, just drops off the task at the time assign for the reminder.

Didn't know this feature is now available. I use the Windows app quite often and that's not updated yet. My iPhone app didn't remind me. So, it is pretty useless.

I believe this feature was released only for the beta application. As always, we should expect hiccups, etc when we're part of the beta-testing program. Give it a little more time. I bet we'll see properly operating reminders soon.

I think I kind of figured it out. The desktop app does not have the new reminders feature. So, when you have a reminder alert set on your mobile app; that doesn't sync with the desktop app. Therefore, the reminder alert falls off on the mobile app.

Hope it makes sense!

My question is why update mobile app if the reminder alerts conflicts with the desktop app?

That's different than what I'm seeing. If I set a reminder on my Android app, I can see a reminder icon appended to the task - on the Android app. When the Android app syncs with the cloud, the icon remains. However, I don't see a reminder icon on that task in the web app. I edited the task in the web app and that edit sync'd properly to the Android app and the reminder icon remains. Only when the reminder time is past, do I see the icon disappear. So while the reminder feature is not showing up in either the web app or the Windows app, it appears - for me anyway - that synchronization is taking place properly. I assume once the feature is more fully developed, we'll see it on the other platforms.

I get that it's mobile-only at the moment. Adding the reminder works nicely on my Android, and I don't expect to see it on desktop.

My problem is that nothing happens on my phone when the reminder time is reached. The reminder icon ceases to appear on the task at that point but there's no visual or auditory hint that the reminder time has been reached. My first thought was that I'd blocked notifications for the app but I've checked and that's not the case.
These reminders are working or others, I assume? If so it probably is something specific to my set up.

I'm seeing the same thing. No pop-up Android notifications. I submitted a support request to Nirvana and haven't heard back yet. This is what beta-testing is all about;).

Here's an update on Nirvana's new reminders feature.


It's shown here working on IOS, but I've not been able to get it working on Android so far. I submitted a ticket to Nirvana support and was advised to be sure notifications were enabled for the app and when that didn't work, reinstalling. They acknowledged the bug and said it would be fixed in the next update.

One thing that helped me is unistall and then install the app again, so it will ask for permission to give notifications.

Hope it helps.
