Description

Be able to set multiple different reminders and be able to set the amount of days before and the hour at which it goes off.

Impact

I can have multiple reminders so that I can be reminded a week before, 2 days before and also the day of the event to avoid forgetting it or starting too late. Also be able to set customized reminders as in being able to choose the amount of days before and the time at which it goes off.

Hi, thanks for the feedback! This feature is already on our roadmap. We’ll start working on it once we fix the current reminder issues.

Thoughts, with some AI formatting:

What’s happening in Issue #8341

The user wants:

multiple reminders

customizable reminders

ability to set reminder time

A. User Needs

What types of tasks or events need multiple reminders?

Are reminders intended for daily tasks, deadlines, or long-term goals?

B. Reminder Logic

Should reminders trigger at absolute times (e.g., 7 PM) or relative times (e.g., 2 days before)?

How many reminders do you expect to configure per task? (1–3? unlimited?)

C. UI / UX

Should reminders live inside the date picker?

Should reminders appear visually (e.g., stacked chips, icons, a list)?

How do you want to re-order or remove reminders?

D. Platform expectations

Do reminders need to trigger on all platforms (Web, Desktop, Mobile)?

Should reminders sync across devices?

E. Edge Cases

What happens if a user sets multiple reminders in the same minute?

What if the due date changes — should reminders automatically shift?

Problem Statement

Users who rely on AppFlowy to track tasks or deadlines need more flexibility around reminders. The current single-reminder model is too limited for workflows like staged deadlines, habit tracking, or critical events that need repeated nudges.

Functional Requirements

Users should be able to add multiple reminders to any date/time property.

Users can choose both:

relative times (e.g., X days before at Y time)

absolute times (e.g., March 5 at 10:00)

Users can reorder or delete reminders.

Reminders should sync across all logged-in devices.

Reminders should update automatically if the due date changes.

Visual UI for listing reminders (e.g., collapsible list or chips).

Non-Goals

No recurring reminders (daily/weekly); that is a separate FR.

No reminder snoozing in v1.

No custom notification sounds.

Edge Cases / Considerations

Due dates without a time — how should reminders behave?

Multiple reminders triggering within the same minute.

Users in different time zones.

Maximum number of reminders (e.g. limit to 5 per task).

Dependencies

Consistent cross-platform notification support (Desktop/Mobile/Web).

Calendar/date-time component enhancements.

A use case from Discord
Recurring reminders + Push notification on android

For me, single tasks + recurring tasks (weekly and monthly). But if it ends up being only single reminders at first that's fine, just hoping there's a simple 'Duplicate' button so I can copy tasks however many times needed for multiple reminders. Right now I got my "Second Brain" in Anytype but am locked into Google Tasks for mobile reminders, which I use a lot, so basically double effort for a separate task list that's not connected to my PKM system. I found mobile apps for Obsidian reminders, so plan B is to move everything over there to finally have a single/simple solution for everything. But honestly I really prefer block-based over markdown notes, so I might as well wait a little longer and see what AppFlowy ends up doing 😄
