A good reminder helps you return to something that matters. It should not shame you for being human.
🎯 Use This When
- A task, habit, goal, or Circle needs a clearer return point.
- Notifications feel too loud.
- A routine needs recovery space.
🔒 What Stays Private
Changing a reminder does not expose your journal. A reminder shows the return point and the name you gave the task, habit, or goal, and message or comment notifications may preview those words — but the content of your private journal notes never appears in a notification. Social check-ins should show who is involved before anyone is notified.
✅ One Thing To Do Now
Choose one reminder and decide: keep it, soften it, pause it, or remove it.
Reminder Flow
In short: choose a return time, receive a prompt, decide what fits now, then keep only reminders that still help.
🔔 Notification Access
For a reminder to reach you when Logit is closed, your phone or browser first asks whether Logit can send notifications. It is your choice:
- Allow it, and reminders can arrive as a gentle prompt at the time you set.
- Skip it, and your reminders still wait for you inside Logit — you just will not get a push.
- Change your mind anytime in your device or browser settings, and mute or pause any single reminder inside Logit.
A notification shows only the return point you chose, so your private journal content stays private even on a lock screen.
Choose push, in-app, and email separately
Open Self → Settings → Notifications to choose delivery without switching off more than you intended:
- Messages and System control in-app and push delivery.
- Social and shared activity, Reminders, Summaries and digests, and Product and learning updates control optional system email one kind at a time.
- The Life Rings Letter has its own newsletter control below them.
- Sign-in, security, account, and privacy confirmations stay available so you can protect your account; they do not enroll you in the newsletter.
The unsubscribe link in a Logit system email opens the matching signed-in switch. A newsletter unsubscribe changes only the newsletter subscription. Turning off one does not silently turn off the other.
For a task, set Do date and time for when you intend to start and Due date and time for the final deadline. Logit uses the Do time first; when it is empty, the Due time becomes the reminder point. A goal can also use an exact Due date and time for its check-in.
When you turn a Reflect note into a task, goal, or habit, choose the exact time in the same sheet. Event Circle hosts can change an event's exact start and end time later; Logit moves the event reminder with it. Existing date-only actions keep working.
Healthy Reminder Rules
- Use reminders for care, not punishment.
- Give tasks an exact Do or Due time when the hour matters.
- Give goals an exact Due time when a specific check-in will help.
- Choose each habit's reminder time to match the routine it supports.
- Recheck an Event Circle's start time after plans change.
- Make the next step small enough to start.
- Pause reminders during recovery, travel, grief, illness, or overload.
- Mute noisy Circles without making private notes visible.
- Review reminder timing when your season changes.
When A Reminder Feels Wrong
| Feeling | Try this |
|---|---|
| Too frequent | Lower frequency or pause. |
| Too vague | Rewrite it as one concrete action. |
| Too public | Move the work back to private reflection. |
| Too heavy | Split it into a smaller step. |
🌿 Why This Matters
Reminders can protect intention, but only when they respect capacity and consent.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Should I keep reminders on all the time?
No. A reminder is useful only while it helps you return with less friction.
Can I pause without losing progress?
Yes. Pausing can be part of a healthier rhythm.
Which dates stay date-only?
Birthdays, journal days, retrospective ranges, recurrence end dates, and learning progress dates describe a calendar day, history, or a rule window. They stay date-only because turning them into a midnight alert would not create a useful next action.

Use one next step, then stop
If the answer is yes, take the primary action above. If you still need a person at Logit, contact support instead of sending private journal or message content through ordinary email.
