Making reminders

How do I make a reminder?

Three taps: what to do, who or what, and when. Tapping the time saves it. Or tap the mic and say it: "call the dentist tomorrow at 3."

Can I add my own verbs or things?

Yes. Tap + New on the verb notes or the who-or-what notes. To hide, remove, or reorder verbs, use Settings > Edit verbs, or press and hold a verb.

What's Again?

Hot keys for reminders you make a lot. After you make the same one three times, Nabbit offers a hot key once. Say yes and it's one tap from Home.

What do Morning and Tonight mean?

Whatever they mean to you. Set them in Settings > Default times. Tomorrow AM, Next Monday, and Pick day & time start at your Morning time; Tonight uses your Tonight time.

How do I pick an exact day and time?

Tap Pick day & time. It starts on your next Morning time; change the day, the time, or both, then tap the note under the calendar to set it.

To-do list

What's the eye button?

It shows everything coming up as notes: slipped first, then today, tomorrow, and each day after. Switch between cards and a list with the button at the top left. Tap a note when it's done, with Undo right after; press and hold for 15 min or Tonight. The screen stays on while it's open.

Can I take back a win?

Yes. Tap it in Wins today and choose Put it back on the list. It keeps its time if that's still ahead; if it's passed, it rings again in 15 minutes, nudges and all.

Alerts and nudges

What happens when a reminder is due?

The first alert rings like an alarm, or arrives as a notification if you picked that in Settings > Alerts. On an alarm, Stop just quiets it; Done marks it done. If it's not done, Nabbit nudges you three more times, then goes quiet, and the reminder stays on Home as slipped until you finish it or push it back.

What's the difference between Alarm and Notification?

Alarm rings like an alarm clock: sound even on silent, through every Focus, Driving included, until you stop it. Notification arrives like a text and follows your iPhone's settings: on silent it stays quiet or just vibrates, and a Focus or Driving holds it until it ends. Nudges are notifications either way. Pick one in Settings > Alerts.

Does Nabbit ring while I'm driving?

With Alarm, yes: alarms ring through every Focus, Driving included. To have it wait, set Settings > Alerts to Notification, and Driving holds it until you stop. Siri works hands-free either way: "Nabbit, done with dentist."

I'm not getting alerts, or they're silent.

On your iPhone, open Settings > Apps > Nabbit and check that Notifications are allowed with Time Sensitive on, and that Alarms are allowed. Alarms ring even on silent and in a Focus; nudges follow your Focus unless Nabbit is allowed through it.

How do I change how often nudges come?

Settings > Nudges, anywhere from every 5 to every 30 minutes.

Siri, widgets, and Apple Watch

Siri doesn't understand Nabbit phrases.

Open the Shortcuts app, find Nabbit, and make sure its shortcuts are turned on. Then try "Remind me in Nabbit to call" or "What's on my Nabbit list?"

Where are the widgets?

Press and hold your Home Screen or Lock Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget, and find Nabbit. Next up counts down to what's due, with Done, 15 min, and Tonight right on it. Quick add holds your hot keys and verbs, so one tap starts a reminder. The New reminder control is in Control Center's controls and can go on the Action button.

The watch app looks empty.

Your iPhone keeps the list. Open Nabbit on your iPhone once with your watch nearby, then open it on the watch. Changes on the watch reach your iPhone as soon as it's in range.

Price and your data

Is Nabbit free?

Yes, all of it, and it stays that way: no ads, no subscription, no paywall. If Nabbit helps you, Settings > Keep Nabbit going takes an optional tip toward the upkeep. A tip doesn't unlock anything.

Where are my reminders stored?

Only on your iPhone, with a copy on your watch if you use one. There's no account and no server. See the privacy policy.

Will my reminders move to a new iPhone?

Yes, if you set up the new iPhone from an iCloud or computer backup of the old one. Deleting the app deletes its reminders.
