Smart Notifications

Taskitos uses starred and unstarred reminder cadences to keep due tasks visible. Pro users get the full escalation cadence when subscriptions are enabled.

How Notifications Work

When a task becomes due, Taskitos begins sending notifications. Starred tasks use a faster reminder cadence than unstarred tasks.

Reminder Cadence

Task Type	Email	Push
Starred	About every hour after due	About every 30 minutes after due
Unstarred	About every 24 hours after due	About every 4 hours after due

Control the Intensity

Use the "Nag Intensity" setting to control maximum emails per task: Light (3), Normal (6), or Aggressive (10). When subscriptions are enabled, free-tier accounts may be limited to one push and one email reminder per task.

Email Notifications

Email notifications are beautiful, mobile-friendly, and actionable. You can complete or snooze tasks without opening the app.

What's in Each Email

Task title and description
Due date and time (in your timezone)
Starred status when relevant
Tags associated with the task
"Complete" button - marks task as done instantly
Snooze options - selected shortcuts from email, with more options in the app

One-Click Actions

The complete and snooze links work instantly - no login required. They use secure, cryptographically signed tokens that can't be forged.

Quiet Hours

Taskitos respects your sleep. Set quiet hours to prevent notifications during specific times (default: 10 PM - 7 AM).

How Quiet Hours Work

• No email notifications sent during quiet hours
• No push notifications sent during quiet hours
• Notifications resume when quiet hours end
• Overdue tasks from quiet hours get notified in the morning

Tip

Configure quiet hours in Settings → Notification Preferences. Make sure your timezone is set correctly for accurate timing.
