How-To
Configure reminders
Use daily summaries, task-time reminders, and important-date reminders intentionally.
Before you start
- Allow notifications for myDailyTasks in Apple system settings.
- Add a task time if you want a task-time reminder.
Steps
- Open Settings and enable the daily summary reminder if you want a planning prompt.
- Set the daily summary time.
- For a specific task, assign a scheduled time.
- Enable Reminder at task time only for tasks that should notify you.
- Complete a scheduled task early when it is already finished; myDailyTasks cancels that occurrence's pending reminder and removes it from pending summary and grouped Daily Planner alerts.
- Use Calendar Rules for important-date reminders when relevant.
Task-time reminders are off by default because tasks do not require a time; confirm both the task time and reminder toggle are set.
