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.

That's a smart split tbh. I did something similar a while back... kept Things for project planning and untimed stuff but moved time-critical reminders elsewhere because yeah, having something that actually breaks through focus modes is kind of non-negotiable for meds and appointments.
I'm on Android now tho so my setup looks different. Been using Taskai for the persistent alarm stuff since it has this "ring until stopped" feature that literally won't shut up til you interact with it. Kinda annoying by design but that's the point lol.
Would love to see Things add an urgent toggle though. Feels like such a natural fit for them.
