Reminders & Tasks
Open loops in Arivu: undated tasks and scheduled reminders, including recurring reminders and optional email notifications.
Some saves are not just things to read. They are things to do. Arivu tracks these open loops as tasks and reminders, and gathers them on the Focus page.
Tasks
A task (also called an action item) is a simple, undated checklist item. Attach it to a bookmark or a standalone note when the item implies something you need to do. Complete it when it is done, or delete it if it no longer matters.
Tasks appear in Focus under pending open loops and can bring an item back in Review when they go stale.
Reminders
A reminder has a due time and knows its timezone. Reminders can:
- fire at a specific date and time
- repeat on a schedule with custom day intervals
- carry an in-app due state so you can see what has come due
- send an email when Resend is configured
You can snooze a reminder, complete it, or delete it. Recurring reminders roll forward to their next occurrence.
Email Notifications
Email reminders are sent only when the Resend provider is configured (see Environment Variables). Without email configured, reminders still work in the app through their due state and the Focus views.
Where They Live
Both tasks and reminders can hang off a bookmark or a standalone note, so the thing you need to do stays attached to the thing it is about. Manage them from the item’s detail page, the note workspace, or the Focus page.
Tasks and reminders are included in JSON export and restore.
