Hey Guys,

So there is this APP only for MAC OS yes it is only a Mac APP so far called "In Your Face"

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/in-your-face/id1476964367?mt=12

basically it is a Reminder APP but the good thing is, it occupies your FULL SCREEN instead of just a tiny little, not eye catching reminder which would appear on the top or bottom or the upper left or right corner of your screen, this APP kind of blocks your entire screen so you take notice of it, kind of is handy if one has a habit of just ignoring reminders, I was wondering is there any such equivalent APP for the iPad Pro ?

I don’t believe a iOS app exist.
 
Maybe setting up alarms would help?

But that does not block the entire screen ! I am saying I want something which entirley blocks the screen with the reminder. Alarm doesn't !!

An iOS app can't take over the whole screen for such a feature to work.

How is it that it makes sense to be an MAC APP then but not iOS ??

I dont really know what you try to ask, but iOS apps are more restricted in what they can do than Mac apps.

On mac there are more window management features to do something like that, as well as security implications why this isnt possible on iOS

I know you’re looking for something that takes up the entire screen. I just thought that maybe an audible sound would be an alternative for the moment and wanted to bring that up for that reason alone.

If you do find an app that meets the requirements that would be much better of course.

Why would you want that?

Wouldn't that kind of feature be more urging you and compelling you to take action for the reminder you have set, then just be a passive subject sitting there watching the reminder come and go by ? :)
 
I know exactly what you want--I've looked for the same thing myself. Little alarms and notifications just don't do it for me, sometimes; for critical appointments I need a truly in-your-face solution.
