The reminder app that has been on Google Play since 2011.
Set a reminder once and it comes back on schedule, even for patterns like “every 2nd Tuesday” or “the last Friday of the month”. You don't need an account and it works offline.
Three things to know
Battery settings matter
Many Android phones put apps to sleep to save battery, and an app that is asleep can't remind you. Exclude Life Reminders from battery optimization once and your reminders go off on time. The help center has the steps for each phone brand.
Works without an account or a connection
Your reminders are saved on your phone, so they go off even in airplane mode. If you use a second device, you can turn on sync.
Repeats for real schedules
For example every Monday and Thursday, the last Friday of the month, or every 3 months counted from the day you actually did it. A repeat can stop on a date or after a set number of times.

I started Life Reminders in 2011 and I still build and maintain it myself. If something doesn't work, the help center is usually the fastest way to an answer.
