Todobar reminders appear as in-app toasts inside the sidebar itself rather than as operating system notifications. This keeps your desktop clean while still alerting you when a task is due. You can set a reminder when you first capture a task, or add and adjust one at any time using the quick-cycle bell icon on an existing task.
Reminders only fire while Todobar is running. If you quit the app or it is not running when a reminder time passes, you will not see a notification for that task.

How reminder toasts work

When a task’s reminder time arrives, a toast notification appears inside the Todobar panel for 9 seconds. Up to 3 toasts can be visible at the same time — if a fourth reminder fires while three are already showing, the oldest one is pushed out. Clicking a toast navigates you to the calendar day associated with that reminder so you can act on the task immediately.

Setting a reminder when capturing a task

When you type a new task in any capture input (in Today, a calendar day, or a custom list), a date-time field is available next to the text input. Click it, choose a date and time, and then press Enter to add the task. The reminder is set at the moment the task is created.

Quick reminder cycling

For tasks that already exist, click the bell icon on the task row to cycle through reminder presets without opening a date picker. The cycle works as follows:
Bell stateWhat it does
No reminder setSets reminder to now + 30 minutes
Reminder set (before tomorrow 9 am)Moves reminder to next day at 9:00 am
Reminder set (at or after tomorrow 9 am)Clears the reminder entirely
Clicking the bell a third time removes the reminder and returns the task to its original state. You can start the cycle again at any point.

Adjusting a reminder with the full date-time picker

For precise control, use the date-time input visible in the task capture row or on an existing task when you expand its actions. Enter any date and time directly to set an exact reminder.

Enabling and disabling reminder notifications

Go to Settings and toggle the Notifications option to enable or disable all reminder toasts globally. When notifications are disabled, reminders stored on tasks are preserved — they simply will not fire until you re-enable the setting.
