When a reminder repeats
Some appointments happen once: doctor visit, specific meeting, project deadline. Others repeat: rent payment every 5th, weekly team meeting, monthly budget review.
For the second type, creating a separate reminder each month is unnecessary. CleverNote supports full recurrence.
Creating a recurring event
From an existing reminder
If you have a reminder (created automatically or manually), you can convert it to recurring:
- In Notifications, open the reminder
- Tap Edit
- In the Recurrence section, choose the pattern
Creating from scratch
In Notifications, tap New reminder or event:
- Title: what you need to remember
- Date and time of the first occurrence
- Recurrence: select the pattern
- Location (optional), address or description
- End time (optional)
Available recurrence patterns
| Pattern | Example |
|---|---|
| Daily | Every day at 8am |
| Weekly (one day) | Every Monday |
| Several days per week | Every Monday and Thursday |
| Monthly (fixed day of month) | Every 5th of the month |
Recurrence is always open-ended: it repeats with no end date. When you no longer need it, just pause or delete the series.
How notifications arrive
Depending on your configuration:
- Push: phone notification (requires installed app with permission)
- Email: daily or weekly digest of reminders
- In-app: appears in Notifications when you open the app
Editing and deleting recurrences
A recurrence is a single series, not a list of separate occurrences. When you edit a recurring event, the change applies to the whole series (title, time, pattern).
You have two actions to control the series:
- Pause / Resume: the series stops firing but stays saved. Resume whenever you want, with nothing to recreate.
- Delete: removes the series entirely.
There is no “this occurrence” or “this and future” option, and no way to skip a single date. For a one-off exception, pause the series or create a standalone reminder.
Tip: recurring events for financial review
A good habit: create a monthly recurring event “Review this month’s finances” on the last day of each month. When you receive the notification, open the dashboard and ask chat: “how was my spending this month compared to last month?”

Frequently asked questions
- Can I set a reminder that repeats every Monday and Thursday?
- Yes. Recurrence supports multiple days of the week in the same rule.
- Does the reminder respect my timezone?
- Yes. CleverNote uses the timezone configured in your account (IANA, auto-detected). A reminder at 9am in New York will fire at 9am NY time.
- Can I pause a recurrence without losing the series?
- Yes. Open the recurring reminder and tap Pause. The series stops firing but stays saved, and you can resume it whenever you want.
