NimbleCal supports event reminders via browser notifications.
Step 1: Enable notifications
- In the app, open Settings.
- Under Notifications, click Enable notifications.
- If you want, click Send test notification to confirm everything works.
If notifications are blocked, your browser will show "Notifications are blocked" and you'll need to enable them in your browser settings.
Step 2: Add reminders to an event
- Create a new event (or open an existing one).
- In the event editor, scroll to Reminders.
- Click Add and choose a reminder time (or a custom reminder).
- Save the event.
Default reminders (per calendar)
When you create or edit a calendar, you can set default reminders for:
- Timed events ("Event notifications"), and
- All-day events ("All-day event notifications").
These defaults apply to newly created events on that calendar.
Reminder limitations (web)
NimbleCal uses web notifications. For reminders to fire reliably:
- Allow notifications in your browser, and
- Keep NimbleCal open in at least one tab/window (so your browser can run the reminder timers).
Heads up (web limitation)
If your browser is fully closed, it cannot fire web notifications. Keeping NimbleCal open improves reliability.
