# Reminders

> A daily check-in nudge plus your own reminders, set by time and day of the week.

A reminder is a notification your phone shows at the time you pick. Each one is a single, gentle nudge. VitaSync sends no follow-up if you miss it.

## The daily check-in

![The Reminders screen: the daily check-in card and your own reminders](https://mintcdn.com/azeon-software/3pQ8sdgUeEmvG1sa/images/reminders-light.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=3pQ8sdgUeEmvG1sa\&q=85\&s=fb57bb17352cb2400791cd5454574437)

Open the menu, then Settings, then Reminders. The first card is Daily check-in. Turn it on and choose a time.

## Add your own reminder

**1. Tap Add reminder**

It appears under Your reminders with a default message and time you can change.

**2. Choose a metric (optional)**

Pick a metric if the reminder is about one thing, like water. VitaSync fills in a message you can edit. Leave it on Anything for a general nudge.

**3. Set the time and days**

Choose a time. Then pick the days with the weekday chips, Monday to Sunday. All seven days means every day.

**4. Write the message**

The message is the text on the notification.

Every change takes effect straight away. Switch a reminder off to pause it without deleting it. Switching one off leaves your daily check-in alone.

## Suggested reminders

If you log water, caffeine, alcohol or spending at a steady time of day, VitaSync suggests a reminder. It needs about five entries with a time first.

A suggestion reads something like "You usually log this around 19:00. Add a reminder?" Tap Add and VitaSync creates an every-day reminder at that time. Creating any reminder for that metric removes the suggestion.

Suggestions cover only those four metrics. Add a reminder yourself for anything else.

## What a tap opens

Tapping a reminder opens the Log tab. Opening quick-add for the reminder's metric is planned. The metric you pick sets the starting message. It does not change where a tap goes.

## If notifications are off

VitaSync cannot schedule a reminder while notifications are off. It tells you: "Notifications are off for VitaSync. Turn them on in your phone's settings." Turn them on, then add the reminder again.

## Reminders and cloud backup

With cloud backup on, your reminder list is copied along with your other settings. The notifications themselves stay with the phone that set them. See [Cloud backup](/help/cloud-backup).
