🛠️ How does it work?
In order to receive notifications, Any.do requires your device/ browser permissions.
For Android devices, it also requires access to background activity and the disablement of any restricting battery saving apps.
The Daily Planner also provides daily reminders which can be turned off/ on from its setting.
For event notifications, simply enable the option from your account’s Settings.
To take a break from receiving Any.do’s reminders, you can easily turn them off under each task.
You may also opt to completely disable Any.do’s notifications from the app’s Settings screen.
