Add better reminders (multiple/random)
Currently when adding a task you can set reminders in two ways:
- Set up a date and time to be reminded for tasks with no due time.
- Or you can set a reminder relative to the due time.
I'd like this to be done differently:
- make relative reminders optional
- always be able to set the reminder time and date manually
- add the ability to set multiple reminders for one task (example: you need to do something and want to be reminded of that twice on a moment that suits you without making two separate tasks)
- add the ability to set random reminders like in astrid, but better
* define the repeating of the reminder like you can for tasks
* set a range of times between which you will be reminded (randomly)
(example: you have something due in 3 weeks but want to think about it every other day sometime between 12h and 17h until the due date)
I think doing this could clean up a task list a lot as it requires only one task for multiple reminders

I concur that multiple reminders for a single task would round out the features of Ultimate To-do List.
Setting a reminder (or multiple reminders) in advance if the due date would help keep certain tasks (often laborious ones) at the forefront of memory while eliminating the need to enter the task more than once or snooze it.
Snooze and creates the opportunity to inadvertently miss or dismiss all reminders and adding a task multiple times creates a cluttered to-do list.
Thanks.
