# Reminders

> Get push and email reminders when a due-time task is about to fire.

## 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](/features/natural-time) 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.

See the [pricing page](/pricing) for what's included in each tier.
