FAQPage Schema

How do I schedule recurring reminders that persist across sessions?▼

Schedule recurring reminders by persisting text and due times to a SQLite database for reliable delivery. The storage ensures reminders survive across sessions and fire accurately based on their configured repeating schedule.

Can I organize reminders by category and review past history?▼

Yes, reminders support classification by category and maintain a full history. The SQLite database stores metadata, delivery records, and status, allowing you to audit past reminders and re-use them as needed.

What's the best way to track one-off alerts and recurring nudges?▼

Track one-off alerts and recurring nudges by creating reminders that fire at specific times or on repeating schedules. The cron-backed delivery system ensures timely execution while logging the history of when each reminder fired.

How does cron-backed scheduling work for time-based notifications?▼

Cron-backed scheduling works by triggering stored reminders at their specified due times. The system queries the SQLite database for pending notifications and executes delivery, then updates the status and calculates the next due time for recurring reminders.

Do I need a database to manage reminders with historical context?▼

A SQLite database is required to persist reminder text, due times, and historical context. This storage mechanism guarantees reliable delivery and allows auditing of past reminders, their delivery status, and next scheduled times.

What are the limitations of using SQLite for reminder scheduling?▼

Using SQLite for reminder scheduling relies on a cron-backed system for delivery, meaning reminders depend on the cron daemon running consistently. While it handles one-off and recurring alerts, complex scheduling rules may require manual configuration within the database.
