A reminder is a nudge at a time you choose. Bubsby never sets one without you.

What this does

  • Sends a push notification at the date and time you set.
  • Can repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
  • Shows up on the item card with a small bell icon and the next time.

When to use this

  • "Tell me to defrost the chicken at 4pm."
  • "Every Monday morning, remind me to pack swimming gear."
  • "On the day of the school photo, nudge me at 7am."

How it works

  1. From any item, tap Set Reminder (also offered automatically after you add something dated).
  2. Pick a date.
  3. Pick a time (defaults to 9am if you only set a date).
  4. Optionally choose a repeat: once, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly.
  5. Tap Confirm.

Important things to know

  • Notifications must be turned on. If they're not, Bubsby tells you and gives you a one-tap link to settings.
  • Reminders are confirmed before they save — you'll see a final summary screen.
  • The bell icon on item cards shows the next active reminder time.
  • Reminders sent to other people (delegated) only become active once they accept — see Delegated Reminders.

Common questions

  • Can I get more than one reminder for the same item? Yes — add several. The card shows the next one due.
  • What if I miss a reminder? It's still in your Inbox; nothing is lost. Reschedule or mark done.
  • Can I get a reminder without a date? No — reminders need a time to fire at.
