• See Sync & reminders for offline sync

On web/desktop: Right-click → Date → Pick date… → Reminder in date picker.

When reminders help

A due date tells you when something is due, but only if you look. A reminder pushes a notification at the right time, so important tasks do not rely on your memory.

Choosing the time

• At due time for tasks that have to start on the minute, such as a call.
• 30 minutes before for tasks that need preparation or travel.
• A custom time when none of the presets fits.

Set the due date first. A reminder works from the date and time you give the task.

A worked example

You have "Pick up dry cleaning" due at 17:30. Set a reminder 30 minutes before. At 17:00 your phone shows a notification, you tap it, and the task opens so you can leave on time.

If you do not receive reminders

1. Check that notifications are allowed for DonDon in your phone settings.
2. Check that the task has a date and time, not only a day.
3. Make sure the app is signed in and synced. See Sync & reminders.

Tips

• Use reminders sparingly. If every task buzzes, you will start to ignore them.
• Combine with repeat (Premium) for regular tasks.

Common mistakes

• Denying the notification permission and forgetting about it.
• Setting a reminder without a due date.
