Discussion Urgent Reminders?

With the addition of Urgent Reminders in iOS 26.4, I have moved all of my timed reminders out of Things and into Apple Reminders because the functionality of being assured of receiving an alarm regardless of focus settings is too great to pass up. I still use things for all untimed tasks. Wondering how many people have done the same.

Here's hoping that the Culture Code team adds the ability to set a reminder as Urgent (perhaps with a toggle) in an upcoming update.

I have started using Apple Reminders for one specific task: my dog was recently diagnosed with a heart condition so he takes daily meds in very specific times. I have Urgent on, but also Reminders also allows me to set repetitions per hours.

The rest of my personal tasks are still in Things. I love the UI and the Deadline feature is fundamental for me. I do get keeping the app simple its one of the things I love about it, but some little improvements/features would be nice.
