Task reminders — the 8am nudge

A commitment with a date on it gets an 8am reminder, so the thing you promised at a show does not quietly pass its day.

Questions

When does the reminder arrive?+

At 8am on the day a task is due, headed "Due today".

Do I get one for each task?+

One per dated task, on its own due day. Tasks with no due date get none — there is no day to remind you about.

I have a lot of dated tasks. Do I get a reminder for all of them?+

For the thirty-two soonest. The phone caps how many reminders an app may hold, and RepBud stays well under that cap, and it is well past a normal week's work.

Will it chase something already overdue?+

No. A reminder is set for 8am on the due day, and an 8am that has passed cannot be sent. Overdue work is The Trail's job — it sits in the top band until you clear it.

Where does tapping it take me?+

To The Trail, with the task in the Due today band and its contact beside it.

What if I do not set a due date?+

The task still sits on The Trail — it simply has no day for RepBud to remind you about.

Can I turn them off?+

Yes, in your device's notification settings for RepBud.

Which plans include reminders?+

All of them, the free Economy tier included. Task reminders are not a paid feature.

I dated a task on the website. When is its reminder set?+

Reminders come from the RepBud app on your phone, so after dating a task on the website, open the app once and it sets the reminder.

Where do the tasks come from?+

From what you log — a commitment picked out of a forwarded email or a field note becomes a task for you to approve, as well as ones you add yourself.
