Reminders

A reminder is the gentle nudge that keeps an event from slipping past you. KashCal gives you a heads-up before it starts, on your terms.

Adding reminders​

In the event form, tap Add Alert. You can add up to five reminders per event.

For timed events, the options include:

  • At the time of the event
  • 5, 15, 30 minutes before
  • 1 hour, 4 hours before
  • 1 day, 1 week before

Need something in between? Tap a reminder to open a days/hours/minutes picker and set any custom lead time. To remove a reminder, tap the ✕ on its row.

For all-day events, reminders work a little differently because there's no specific start time. Options include:

  • 9 AM on the day of the event
  • 1 day before (at 9 AM)
  • 2 days before
  • 1 week before

When a reminder fires​

Reminders arrive as Android notifications. Each one gives you quick actions:

  • Snooze to remind you again shortly.
  • Dismiss to acknowledge and clear it.

Reminders survive reboots​

KashCal re-schedules your reminders after your device restarts, so a reboot won't make you miss an alert.

Default reminders​

You can set a default reminder (and a separate default all-day reminder) in Settings, so every new event starts with the alert you prefer. You can always change or remove it per event.

Notification permission​

Reminders need Android's notification permission. If it isn't granted yet, KashCal will ask:

KashCal needs notification permission to remind you about upcoming events.

For reminders to arrive at the exact minute, KashCal also uses the precise-alarm capability. If your device asks about exact alarms, allowing it keeps reminders on time.

Device calendar reminders​

If you show calendars from other apps on your phone (see Device calendars), KashCal can deliver reminders for those events too, which you can toggle in Settings.
