How to set daily reminders

Open Settings at the top of the home screen and tap Add a reminder under Reminders. You can have up to three daily reminders, each with its own time, its own text and its own on/off switch. Once you're done for the day, the rest of today's reminders stay quiet, unless you switch that off. Reminders are free.

Add a reminder

On the home screen, tap Settings at the top.
Under Reminders, tap Add a reminder.
Pick a time on the clock and tap OK. The reminder is added and switched on. It shows its time, for example 9:00 AM (or 09:00 if your phone uses 24-hour time), with its text under it.
On Android 13 or newer, your phone asks whether Steady may send notifications. Tap Allow. Without this, reminders can't appear.

If you set a reminder in the first-run steps (Daily reminder, then Remind me every day), it's already here as your first reminder, with the default text.

Repeat to add a second or third reminder. When you have three, Settings shows "You can have up to 3 reminders."

Change a reminder

Time: tap Change time, pick a new time and tap OK. Changing the time also switches the reminder on.
Text: tap Edit text, type what you'd like the notification to say and tap Done. Leave it empty to go back to the default, "Time for your Steady session". The text is one line, up to 60 characters.
On or off: use the reminder's switch, or tap its time. An off reminder stays in the list, so you can switch it back on later.
Delete: tap Delete. The reminder is removed and won't come again.

What a reminder looks like

The notification shows your reminder's text, or "Time for your Steady session" if you haven't changed it. Tap it to open Steady.
The public version of the notification says only "Steady". Android shows it on the lock screen when your phone is set to hide sensitive notification content. With other lock screen settings, your phone may show the reminder's text instead, so choose text you're comfortable with. Your phone's lock screen settings are under Settings, then Notifications (names vary between phones).
A reminder comes every day at its time until you're done for the day. After that, today's other reminders don't appear (see Skip reminders once today is done below).
Reminders keep working after you restart your phone, after Steady updates and after you change the time or time zone.
A reminder can arrive a few minutes after its time, because Android groups reminders to save battery.

Skip reminders once today is done

This option, and Remind me again once below, appear in Settings under Reminders once you have at least one reminder.

Skip reminders once today is done is on to begin with. Its note says: "Done means one session today, or your daily goal if you set one." While it's on, a reminder that comes after you're done for the day doesn't appear. The next day, your reminders come as usual.

Without a daily goal, you're done for the day once you've finished one session today.
With a daily goal, you're done for the day once you've finished that many sessions today. See How to set a daily goal.
Switch it off if you'd like every reminder at its time, whatever you've done that day.

A session counts when its last round ends, as in your streak. The practice in How to do it doesn't count.

Remind me again once

Remind me again once ("One more reminder if today is not done yet.") is off to begin with. Switch it on and choose under Remind me again after: 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. If a reminder appears and, when that time has passed, you haven't finished a session since and aren't done for the day, the same reminder comes back one more time.

It comes back at most once. There's never a second repeat.
If you finish a session before then, it doesn't come back, even if you haven't reached your daily goal yet. If today is done by then, it doesn't come back either.
If your phone restarts in the meantime, the waiting repeat is cleared and doesn't come. Your next daily reminder comes as usual.
If a reminder was skipped because you were already done, it doesn't come back either.

With a daily goal

If you've set a daily goal and haven't reached it yet, a reminder shows your text with a second line that says how many sessions are left today, for example 2 left today. Without a goal, reminders show only your text, or "Time for your Steady session", as before. A reminder only counts what's left. It doesn't judge your day, and no colour does either.

Your reminder times and text are stored only on this phone. See Where is my Steady data kept?

If you set a reminder before this update

Your existing daily reminder is kept as your first reminder, with the same time and on/off state, and the default text.

Troubleshooting

The switch is on, but no reminder appears

Steady may not be allowed to send notifications, for example if you tapped Don't allow earlier. The switch still shows as on, but Android won't show the reminder. Open your phone's Settings, go to Apps, then Steady, then Notifications, and turn notifications on. Menu names vary a little between phones. If there's a separate Daily reminder category on that screen, make sure it's on too.

No reminder came today

If you'd already finished a session today, or reached your daily goal, that's Skip reminders once today is done at work. Switch it off in Settings, under Reminders, if you'd like every reminder.

Reminders stop coming on some days

Some phones hold back apps' reminders to save battery. If that happens, look for Steady in your phone's battery settings and let it run without restrictions.

The reminder comes late

A delay of a few minutes is expected. Steady doesn't use exact alarms, so Android can move the reminder a little to save battery.
