Create reminders that notify you at the right moment. Set a one-time alert or a recurring reminder that fires on a schedule. Reminders auto-archive after firing so there’s no cleanup needed.

How Reminders Work

Reminders vs Automations:
  • Reminders — Notifications at specific times, one-time or recurring (available on all plans)
  • Automations — Complex workflows that gather data, synthesize it, and take actions (Premium)
Create a reminder with natural language:
  • “in 2 hours”
  • “tomorrow at 3pm”
  • “every weekday at 8am”
  • “every Sunday evening”

When to Use Reminders vs Automations

Example:
  • Reminder: “Remind me every day at 10pm to review my notes” (simple recurring nudge)
  • Automation: “Send me a summary of tomorrow’s schedule and assignments every evening” (gathers data, synthesizes, delivers — Premium)
Reminders are fully available on all plans with no limits. For complex, data-driven workflows, check out Automations (Premium).

Tips

  • Be specific about timing — “tomorrow at 3pm” is clearer than “later”
  • Use iMessage for time-sensitive reminders you can’t miss
  • Reminders auto-archive after firing—no cleanup needed
  • Specify a delivery channel if you want iMessage or email instead of push
