<h2>FAQ</h2>
<div data-accordion="">
<h4>Can I get a default reminder for tasks without a due time?</h4>
<p>No, simply because the default reminders are relative to the due time of a task.</p>
<h4>I am still not receiving reminders. What can I do?</h4>
<p>If you're still not receiving reminders after following the steps at the start of this article, here are some more tips:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you are using our web app, make sure you have Todoist open in at least one tab.</li>
<li>If you're using one of our desktop apps, make sure it's open and that you are logged in.</li>
<li>Make sure you disable programs like Clean Master and other blocker apps that prevent notifications from popping up.</li>
