​
What it is

Reminders fire shortly before a task with a dueTime is due, so you don’t miss the moment. Znift supports two channels: browser push notifications and email.

​
When to use it

Any task with a specific moment attached — a meeting, a time-boxed block of work, a scheduled deploy. Because Znift’s due time is optional, reminders only fire when you’ve set one. Tasks without a dueTime are silent.

​
How to use it

​
Set a due time

  1. Create a task with a due time: Standup prep at 9:30am. See Natural time input for the full list of accepted formats.
  2. Or edit an existing task and add a due time from the detail panel.

​
Enable push reminders

  1. On first use, Znift asks your browser for notification permission. Allow it.
  2. Push reminders fire automatically from that point forward.
  3. Browser-level permissions are the on/off switch. Revoke them in browser settings to stop push reminders.

​
Enable email reminders

  1. Go to Profile → Notifications.
  2. Toggle Email reminders on.
  3. Reminders send to the email address on your Znift account.

​
Timing

Reminders fire a configurable lead time before the task’s dueTime. The default is 15 minutes before; you can change it under Profile → Notifications → Reminder lead time. If you miss a reminder, the task doesn’t re-fire — open the dashboard to catch up.

​
Example

You set: a task “Ship migration” with due time 5pm, lead time at the default 15 minutes.
  • At 16:45 local time, your browser shows a push notification: “Ship migration — due at 5:00 PM.”
  • If you have email reminders enabled, you also get an email at 16:45 with the same info and a link back into the task.
