Reminders are added via the "Add reminder" dialog, which can be reached in the following ways:
Select a time using the clock widget and enter a message. Initially, the selected time refers to the next occurrence of the hour/minute within the next 24 hours. If this is on the next day, this is indicated with a blue "+1" next to the displayed date. To select a date more than 24 hours ahead, use the +/- buttons or click on the date. The "+x" next to the date indicates how many days the selected date is ahead. The date is displayed in orange to indicate that it is chosen manually.
This feature can be enabled in the settings.
As an alternative to using the clock widget, the reminder time can be specified via text by typing it at the beginning of the text field. The available formats are (where [x] represents an optional part):
A space separates the time specification and reminder text.
If the date is changed through an addition of hours and minutes, this is diplayed with a green "+x" next to the date.
It is possible to combine setting date and time with widgets and text. For example, one can select the date with buttons or the calendar, and independently specify the time via the "hh:mm" format. However, specifying the time with a relative format ("+...") will always reset any previous choices. Using the clock widget removes any text-based time specification, which is a useful way to correct the selected time.
To add the reminder, either click the "Add" button on the keyboard (usually a button on the bottom right, with a symbol or titled "Add") or click "Add" at the bottom of the dialog.
After adding a reminder, the time until it is due is shown in hours and minutes (additional seconds are not displayed). If the reminder is at least 24 hours ahead, the number of (calendar) days and hours is shown (minutes are not shown and rounded towards the closest hour).
The switch next to the reminder text makes the reminder "nagging": when due, the notification will be renewed every x minutes, producing the same alert (sound, vibration, ...) as when first shown. This continues until the notification is dismissed.
The repeat interval for the current reminder can be adjusted by long-clicking the switch. The default value can be changed in the settings.
Currently there is no indication in the reminders list or the notification whether a reminder is nagging, this will be added later.
The reminders list can be reached via
The reminders list shows all current and past reminders and allows to edit or reschedule them. In addition reminders can be marked as done or deleted. Long-click on a reminder to select it (and potentially further reminders) and see the available actions (a long click on an action symbol shows its name).
The list consists of three sections:
