Remind Me Later can be a useful feature of iOS, except that it’s limited to reminding you about phone calls only. Fans of the feature will be happy to know that the jailbreak tweak AnyReminder makes it possible to add these reminders to other iOS apps, such as Messages and Mail.

For example, say a text message arrives and you device is locked. With AnyReminder installed, tapping the camera grabber displays options to Dismiss, Launch or Remind Me Later for this particular alert. This menu can be enabled to work with Notifications, Safari, Mail and Messages in addition to the Phone app.

Notification banners that pop up on iOS can be informative but they don’t hang around very long. There’s no way to change the length of time these banners display on the screen, they mysteriously go away by themselves. Sometimes you’d like the message to stick around a little longer.

Now on jailbroken devices the a handy tweak will keep notification banners as long as you prefer. Sticky Icky will wait until you dismiss the banner to remove it from the screen. Don’t mind the name, this tweak gets the job done if automatic banner dismissal is not for you.
