Watch alarms, reminders & everyday nudges with Notify
Remember the appointment. Take the break. Leave with your phone. Notify brings the small prompts of your day to your wrist, with schedules and repeat settings that fit the way you work.
Notify offers watch alarms, text reminders, calendar integration, timers and supported inactivity alerts. Some reminders are stored on the watch; others are delivered by the connected phone.
Wake up with the alarm method you choose
Set alarm times and repeat days, and use supported vibration options. Early-bird settings and power-nap tools add other ways to plan a wake-up. Distinguish the watch's stored alarm from Notify's phone-connected early-bird method: their connection requirements are different.
Give a recurring task its own reminder
Add reminder text and choose the days or repeat schedule. Available options include daily, selected-day, monthly and yearly recurrence. Configure repeated nudges when needed, and use native watch reminders on devices that support storing them without a continuous phone connection.
Bring appointments to your wrist
Calendar integration helps carry supported phone-calendar events into your reminder workflow. Give Notify access to the calendars you intend to use and check the sync options for your watch. Keeping one app in charge of the watch reminders helps avoid competing updates.
- Choose the calendars that matter
- Exclude calendars you do not want to forward, set an event-time offset and choose a reminder time for all-day entries. This helps keep a shared or work calendar from taking over your wrist.
Useful nudges between appointments
- Move after a long pause
- Supported idle alerts can remind you after inactivity, with active and quiet time windows.
- Time a task
- Set a quick or custom timer, or use supported watch controls for the stopwatch. The custom timer needs the phone connected.
- Watch both batteries
- Choose phone or watch battery thresholds and the supported notification destination, including charging-related phone alerts.
- Remember your phone
- The dedicated option refreshes a watch alarm in the background. If the phone stays disconnected and can no longer refresh it, the alarm can ring.
Set a sensible disconnection delay
Remember my phone uses one watch alarm slot and depends on Bluetooth stability. A longer delay helps avoid alerts during brief reconnects. It is a proximity reminder, not GPS location tracking, and can increase battery use.
Common questions
Will a Notify alarm work without my phone?
An alarm successfully stored on a supported watch can run without the phone. Notify-managed early-bird alarms and other phone-delivered tools have different requirements; check the setting's description.
Can I make a reminder repeat every month?
Notify includes monthly and yearly reminder recurrence alongside daily and selected-day options. Watch storage and delivery behaviour depend on the device and reminder mode.
Does Remember my phone locate a lost phone?
No. It uses a refreshed watch alarm to warn after the phone stays disconnected. It does not provide GPS tracking or guaranteed loss prevention.
