Ask your partner to be reminded about something — without taking over their phone.

What this does

  • Lets you propose a reminder time to someone else in your household.
  • The other person sees your suggestion and accepts, adjusts, or declines.
  • Nothing is set on their phone until they say yes.

When to use this

  • "Can you remember to pick the cake up at 4?"
  • "Don't forget the dentist Tuesday morning."
  • "Remind yourself to bring the camera to school assembly."

How it works

  1. While creating or editing an item, assign it to your partner (or another household member).
  2. Choose Suggest a reminder and pick a time.
  3. They get a banner on their card: "[You] suggested a reminder for [time]. Nothing happens unless you accept."
  4. They tap Add the reminder (accept), Adjust time, or decline.
  5. You see a small "Seen" or "Accepted" status update on your end.

Important things to know

  • Suggested reminders are inactive until accepted. They never fire on the recipient's phone uninvited.
  • The recipient is in full control of their own notifications.
  • If they adjust the time, you'll see the new time on the item.

Common questions

  • What if they don't respond? The suggestion stays as pending. You can chase them through your usual channels.
  • Can I cancel a suggestion? Yes — open the item and remove the reminder.
  • Can I set a reminder on my own phone for the same item? Yes — your reminder and theirs are separate.
