Task Notifications¶
FoldNotes can send you reminders when tasks are due. Notifications are scheduled across all collections, not just the active one — so you won't miss a deadline in a collection you're not currently viewing.
How It Works¶
When a task has a due:YYYY-MM-DD date, FoldNotes schedules a local notification. Notifications are rescheduled whenever you save a note or launch the app.
Notification Content¶
- Title: "Task Due Today" or "Task Due Tomorrow"
- Subtitle: The note title containing the task
- Body: The task text (first 150 characters)
Timing Options¶
| Option | When |
|---|---|
| Morning of due date | 9:00 AM |
| Afternoon of due date | 2:00 PM |
| Evening of due date | 5:00 PM (overdue cutoff) |
| Day before | 9:00 AM the day before |
Configure timing in Settings > Notifications.
Tapping a Notification¶
| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| Task is in the active collection | Opens the note and scrolls to the task |
| Task is in another collection, app not running | Switches to that collection and opens the note |
| Task is in another collection, app is running | Shows a confirmation alert before switching |
Foreground Notifications¶
Notifications display as banners even when FoldNotes is in the foreground, so you see reminders while editing.
Cross-Collection Support¶
The notification scheduler queries all registered collection stores independently, not just the active one. Each notification carries the collection ID so it can route to the correct collection when tapped.
