Hey all-
I am looking into whether I can make my iPhone more useful for what I need using a jailbreak. Here's my issue: I need alarms for tasks, otherwise I forget. I just get easily distracted, and having alarms that I can snooze and return to pretty much makes me the most efficient I can be.
I tried with a clean iPhone, but having to jump through hoops (emailing tasks to myself, trying to check the list a few times a day) just didn't do it for me. I switched to a Samsung Epix, and as an organizational tool it is a godsend.
But I still have my iPhone and like using it as an iPod/web tablet, and a tinkering tool. So it's jailbroken now...and I'm just curious if jailbreaking can help me get the same alarm functions...I know about backgrounder, but are there any task/to-do apps that work with it?
(And yea, the alarms are basically my biggest thing. Here's an example: Had a meeting for the rugby team the other day. We decided I'd email the club's executive director about a dues question. When the reminder went off the next morning about it, I'd totally forgotten I'd agreed the night before to do it. Without the alarm reminding me, I wouldn't have gotten it done.)
