Setting up reminders: times, days and your own reminders

Reminders are off until you turn them on. You set the times and days yourself. Here is how.

Last updated 29.10.2026

Short answer

Open “Settings” and “Reminders”, tap “Add reminder”, choose the type, set time and rhythm, turn on “Turned on” and tap “Save”. Android may delay reminders by up to about 15 minutes. Two simple daily reminders are free; several times, certain weekdays, every few days, monthly, pausing, quiet hours and free reminders are part of Premium.

Creating a reminder

Settings, then Reminders, then “Add reminder”.
Choose the type: note a meal, daily review, close the day, review of a month or year, or your own reminder.
Set one or more times. Tap a time to change it.
Choose the rhythm: daily, on certain weekdays, every few days or monthly.
Turn on “Turned on” and tap “Save”. Turning on only applies with “Save”. The first time, Android asks for permission to show notifications.

Your own reminder

With “Your own reminder” you create a reminder with its own name, for example “Walk”. The name is required and is also the text of the notification. Tapping the notification only opens the app.

Pausing and quiet hours

With “Pause reminders” you set until which day no reminder comes. With quiet hours, for example 22:00 to 07:00, times in this window are skipped.

Good to know

The texts are neutral and never contain data from your diary. A notification can appear on the lock screen; so do not write anything private in the name of your own reminder.
Reminders do not arrive to the minute. Android may delay them by up to about 15 minutes, especially while the screen is off.
Open the app now and then so that reminders with “Every few days” and after pausing keep running.

Frequently asked questions about reminders

Why does the reminder arrive late?

Android schedules it as an inexact alarm and may delay it by up to about 15 minutes, especially while the screen is off.

Why does no reminder arrive?

Check whether the reminder is turned on and saved, whether Android allows notifications for the app (the app then shows “Open settings”), whether reminders are paused and whether the time falls into the quiet hours.

Can I create a reminder for something else, for example a walk?

Yes, with “Your own reminder” and a name of your own. Free reminders are part of Premium. The app gives no recommendation about it.

What does “Skip if something is already logged today” mean?

For the type “Note a meal”, the reminder for today is skipped if you have already entered something. The app only checks this while it runs and never puts data into the notification.
