■ daily, weekly or just once
■ on certain days or between certain days
■ at certain times or between certain times
■ plus: you can also add tasks and subtasks and use it as a todo list
■ and: you can add periodic alarms in case, for example, you have to take medicine every few hours

Other features:
■ share your list with friends on Twitter or Facebook, or back it up by emailing it to yourself in human readable form. That same backup can be imported back into the app by copy/pasting it
■ extra filter controls and reminder text when you turn the device to landscape
■ quick actions: long press the "i" button and get some quick actions (desk mode, silence for 1,2 or 3 hours or quick reminders)
