TL;DR: Reminders push a notification to your phone or desktop at a specific time — independent from a task's due date. Set multiple reminders per task (e.g., 1 day before, 1 hour before). Great for calls, meetings, and hard deadlines.
Overview
Want a heads-up before a task's due date? Set custom reminders for each task and subtask so you never miss a deadline. Reminders send notifications at the time you specify, helping you stay on top of your workload across all devices.
💡 Note: Reminders work the same way on iOS and Android — tap a task, set the date and time, and you'll get a push notification.

- Select the task/subtask you want to schedule.
- Hover your mouse cursor over the task and click the ➕ plus icon on the right.
- You can also use the ⌨️ Ctrl/Cmd + / keyboard shortcut.
- Enter a start and end date and time.
- Click Save to confirm changes.
Edit / Remove Reminders
- Select the task/subtask again and click the ➕ plus icon on the right.
- Edit the start and end date and time.
