Todoist can remind you about upcoming tasks via email or mobile text message. With task reminders, you'll never forget about an important meeting — or your favorite TV show.

Setting up your reminder services

Automatic reminders for tasks with deadlines

Todoist creates automatic reminders for tasks that have a due date or associated time. For example: if your task is due today @ 10am, Todoist will automatically send a reminder 30 minutes before this deadline.

Set quick reminders when adding or updating tasks

When adding or updating a task, you can set a reminder directly in the task's text. For example, if you'd like to be reminded about a task at 2pm, type <remind today at 2pm> after the task description in the text box, and then save the task.

This even works when you add tasks from our widgets, via email or mobile.

Reminders when adding or updating tasks

You can use all of Todoist's dates such as <remind every day at 3pm> or <remind friday at 2pm>.
