Never miss a beat. This guide shows how to turn notifications on, choose sounds and badges, use the once‑a‑day Daily Push on mobile, and snooze reminders when life gets busy. Think: a ping to review your day at 9 AM, a gentle sound on phone for your bill reminder, or a quick Snooze when you are entering a meeting.
App notifications are available to all user types (free/Premium/Family/Workspace) on all supported devices (with slight variations per platform compatibility).

Done – complete the task in one tap.
