And of course the reminder is super quiet and polite, going unseen until after you needed it.
Asking a fitbit to set a timer for 2 hours is dumber.
Apparently it only supports a 1h39m59s at a maximum. So responds saying it can’t set that timer. But then offers clickable suggestions for 1h50m and 2h10m … which gets you the exact same response.
I have felt this too! Reminders are usually pop up notifications that are easy to miss. I may have a temporary solution. On Android I can select the days on which the alarm should ring. It gets a bit annoying if your date is more than 7 days in the future. But still gets the job done
You know what’s even more annoying? You can set a notification or email reminder to go off prior to a calendar appointment, but can’t set an alarm to go off prior to one. I need my phone to make noise when it’s time for me to get ready, not just show a notification!
Isn’t it possible to change the notification sound by selecting an alarm sound , just for calendar notifications?
This should give you what you need
The only caveat i can think of now, is that notifications don’t loop the sound… So pretty much useless, unless you just need one loud reminder
Notifications have a lower level of priority than an alarm. Notification volume is set differently than alarm volume. Alarms take over the screen whereas notifications just give you a prompt at the top. As a person with ADD, it’s a huge inconvenience and I need to use workarounds that are unreliable. I just want a ducking alarm when I need it without getting some stupid artificial limitation on why I can’t do it.
ummm Ackwtewely this is a feature because…
Nah. Fuck that.
If I want to wake up early on Tuesday next week what I need is an alarm that morning. A human would understand the prompt and do it correctly, a computer assistant should be able to do exactly the same.
