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. System is the switch that governs the alert for your task, habit, and goal reminders. Turning it off stops the phone or browser alert; the reminder still appears in your Self hub, so you can catch up in your own time without losing the record.
- Social and shared activity, Event reminders, **Summaries and digests, and Product and learning updates** control optional system email one kind at a time.
- Task, habit, and goal reminders arrive in your Self hub, plus a notification on your phone or browser when push is on. They are not sent by email, so Event reminders covers Circle event email only.
- Summaries and digests starts off on new accounts. Your weekly and monthly reflections are always waiting in Logit, so turn the category on only if you also want them emailed to you. If you already receive them, nothing has changed — switch it off here whenever you want.
- 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.
