Google_Now

Do you want to be reminded to do something, but not every day, every week, or on a fixed schedule? Well, if you’re a fan of Google Now, you’re now able to set occasional reminders. What kind of things might you want to do occasionally? Clean the house. Wash the car. Walk the dog.

Simply tell Google Now to “remind me” to do something, and you’ll have the option for an occasional reminder.

There’s a bit of magic behind the scenes here; we don’t know exactly what kind of schedule Google’s using for this, but reportedly it’s around two or three days. You can swipe to dismiss occasional reminders, and they’ll come back in a couple of days, so the utility might be a little limited.
