Good to know

  • Call block nudges you if you have not started the dialer by the end of the grace period.
  • Follow ups nudges you if you have not done a task, logged a call, sent a message or written a note by then.
  • Custom is a plain reminder at the end of the grace period. Nothing is checked first.
  • You can have up to 12 alarms.
  • Nudges go out between 8 AM and 9 PM. An alarm set earlier or later still gets one, but never between 10 PM and 7 AM.
  • The top switch of the page must be on for any alarm to send.
