Given the number of things you have to keep track of in a day, sometimes a simple task manager — the kind that reminds you once and then waits until the next day to tickle you again — doesn’t seem adequate. If you wish you had a snooze button for your tasks, maybe Bugger (US$0.99) is worth a look.
Developer ZZTech built a tool to solve this problem, and it does the job pretty well (note that it requires iOS 4 and a backgrounding-capable device). You can create reminders for any future date and for an assortment of categories, then set a ‘bug level’ of every 10 minutes, 30 minutes, hourly, daily or weekly — and if none of those intervals suit you precisely, you can customize them. After the reminder trips, you’ll get on-device background notifications every time the clock ticks around until you either get ‘er done or delete the reminder.
There’s no sync to desktop or cloud task managers, and none of the power features of higher-echelon GTD tools, but in this case you probably won’t miss them. For speedy, gotta-finish task tracking, Bugger gets it.
