Apple Reminders is a deceptively capable tool. You can set reminders by date, time, or location, even link one to a contact so it surfaces when you're about to message them. For anyone with Apple devices this is an amazing app.

Subtasks, urgency tags, and a genuinely clean interface, all for free with any iCloud account. The catch: it's Apple-only. If anyone on your team uses Android, look elsewhere.
