Manage reminders

A reminder is the right action when you want a nudge at a time. You can change or cancel it before it fires.

Use the product path below before trying to solve this from chat alone.

Menu labels are written as they appear in Homie.

1. 1

   Open Pending items or ask Homie to show upcoming reminders.

2. 2

   Open the reminder card.

3. 3

   Edit the time/text/date or choose Cancel when it should stop.

Use this when the request is just a time-based nudge, not a watch, project, or when-then promise.

This page is about the controls a household member can use today, not the internal system behind them.

Start from pending items, personal Homie, or the reminder card. Find the reminder, then edit the time or cancel it.

1. 1

   Open pending items or ask Homie to show upcoming reminders.

2. 2

   Choose the reminder you want to change.

3. 3

   Edit the time, wording, or due date when the reminder should still exist.

4. 4

   Cancel it when the reminder is no longer useful.

5. 5

   If the reminder created a calendar dot, confirm it was removed when you cancel.

Use these controls to correct Homie, reduce noise, or make the home match how the household actually works.

• Reminder text.
• Reminder time or due date.
• Whether the reminder is still pending.
• Whether an attached calendar marker should remain.

Homie should stay honest about what changed. If an action needs a trusted device, a claimed member, a connected account, or an approval, it should say so before claiming success.

• It will not treat a reminder as a promise with a real-world trigger.
• It will not keep nudging after a pending reminder is cancelled.
• It will not cancel someone else's private reminder from a shared screen.
• It will not act outside the household simply because a reminder fired.

Member reminders belong to the member who created them. Household reminders can appear on shared surfaces when they are meant for everyone.

If a reminder mentions private context, manage it from the member's personal Homie instead of the shared dashboard.

After making an operational change, do one small check. It is the easiest way to catch a wrong member, wrong device, stale link, or missing permission while the context is still fresh.

• Ask Homie to list upcoming reminders after changing one.
• Confirm the time is in the format and day you meant.
• Check pending items if you think a reminder should still be visible.

Name the trigger and the action separately. Homie should know what it is waiting for, what it will do, and whether the action needs approval.

1. 1

   Use reminders for simple nudges.

2. 2

   Use promises for when-then behavior.

3. 3

   Cancel old reminders instead of letting them become noise.

Most Homie issues come from setup, identity, or approval state. Work through these checks before assuming Homie ignored the request.

• Check whether the request is a reminder, commitment, tracked topic, routine, or Agent Run.
• Look for an approval card if the action sends, calls, books, shares, or affects the household.
• Remember that recurring household work runs from the trusted home setup. A separate background helper should not quietly change saved home information.

Good to know: Most changes apply to Homie's saved setup. Connected accounts and devices may still need a refresh or reconnect.

• Use reminders for simple nudges.
• Use promises for when-then behavior.
• Cancel old reminders instead of letting them become noise.

• Remind me at 18:00 to call Dad.
• Move that reminder to tomorrow morning.
• Cancel my reminder about the package.
