Where reminders come from

Open Manage routines, edit the routine, and find Reminders. Use the schedule you already follow; a reminder is a notification about that record.

Reminders

  1. Turn on Remind me.
    Reminders section with Remind me on, Notify set to At dose time and Follow up if not logged off.
    The routine controls its own reminders; early notification and follow-up timing are separate choices, and saving commits the changes.
    1. Remind me
    2. Notify
    3. Follow up if not logged

  3. If wanted, turn on Follow up if not logged.
  4. If follow-up is on, set After to the delay you want; the control offers 5–240 minutes in five-minute steps.
  5. Tap Save.

What a reminder says

The normal title is the routine name. In Settings › Notifications › Reminder detail, Show "Routine due" only hides that name; it does not erase other notification text. A timed reminder says Due at the dose's effective time. An any-time reminder says Due today — any time, has no early Notify picker, and is scheduled for 9:00 AM on its day. The privacy choice takes effect as reminders are rescheduled.

Settings Reminder detail choices Show routine name and Show "Routine due" only, shown as the open picker menu over the Reminder detail row.
Reminder detail changes the notification title; it does not hide every part of the notification or alter the routine’s schedule.

Actions

Done records Taken at now and uses the same timed/any-time lateness rules as logging in the app. Skip records a skip. Notification Snooze uses the routine's first snooze duration, normally 15 minutes; the button is present but does nothing for an any-time dose. A previous Move still outranks a snooze.

What changes

Keel schedules requests; iOS decides delivery.

Where: Reminders

If it looks different

  • The follow-up is measured from the dose's reminder anchor, not from an early primary reminder.

Permission denied

Use the Today permission notice to reach iOS Settings.

Notes

  • Reminder settings can sync; notification delivery belongs to each device.

Reminders repeat your entered schedule; they never tell you what to take.
