Notifications
Never forget
again.
Bobby sends you timely reminders when tasks are due — and a daily digest each morning so you always know what’s on the agenda. Smart, respectful notifications that help without annoying.
Reminders that follow your schedule
Every task in Bobby has a due date — whether it’s a floating recurrence, a fixed schedule, or a one-time deadline. Bobby automatically schedules local notifications based on those due dates so you get reminded at the right time, without lifting a finger.
When you complete a task early, the next reminder shifts forward automatically. When a task becomes overdue, Bobby lets you know gently. The notification schedule adapts to your actual rhythm, not a rigid calendar. This is especially powerful with Bobby’s floating recurrence — the reminder always reflects when the task is actually due, based on when you last completed it.
You don’t need to configure anything. Bobby reads the due dates from your tasks and schedules reminders accordingly. If a task is due tomorrow at 9 AM, you’ll get a notification. If it’s due in two weeks, Bobby waits until it’s relevant. Simple, automatic, and always up to date.
Morning summary
Start your day knowing what’s ahead
Bobby’s daily digest is a single notification each morning that tells you everything due today. One glance and you know your agenda.
One notification, everything you need
Instead of five separate task reminders cluttering your lock screen, Bobby consolidates them into a single, clear daily digest. "You have 3 tasks due today." Tap it and you’re taken straight to your task list.
Configurable time
Choose when you want your daily digest — 7 AM, 9 AM, noon, whenever works for you. Bobby delivers it right when you need it. Early riser? Get it at 6. Night owl? Set it for 10. Your schedule, your choice.
Includes overdue tasks
The digest doesn’t just show what’s due today — it also mentions any overdue tasks that still need attention. So you always have the complete picture without opening the app.

Your rules
Smart notifications, not spam
Bobby respects your attention. Notifications are opt-in, configurable, and designed to help — never to nag.
Opt-in only
Bobby asks for notification permission once. If you say no, that’s it — no pestering, no pop-ups, no guilt. You’re in control.
Fully configurable
Toggle task reminders and daily digest independently. Change the digest time. Disable everything from settings. Your preferences, your way.
No marketing
Bobby will never send you promotional notifications. No "Come back!" messages. No upsell alerts. Just task reminders — that’s it.
Relevant only
You only get notified about tasks assigned to you or unassigned tasks in your lists. No noise from tasks that aren’t your responsibility.
Complete once, cancel everywhere
This is where Bobby’s notification system gets really smart. When you complete a task on your phone, the reminder for that task is automatically cancelled on all your other devices — and on your family members’ devices too. No stale reminders lingering on your tablet after you already did the dishes on your phone.
This works through silent push notifications. When a task is completed, Bobby’s server sends a silent push to every device in the shared list. Each device receives the update, recalculates its local notification schedule, and cancels any reminder that’s no longer relevant. It all happens in the background, instantly, without any user interaction.
The result: your notifications are always accurate. If your partner completed a shared task while you were at work, you won’t get a reminder to do it when you get home. Bobby already knows it’s done. This kind of cross-device awareness is rare in task apps — most just fire reminders based on a local schedule with no awareness of what happened on other devices.
Always reliable
Reminders work offline too
Bobby schedules notifications locally on your device, so they fire even when you have no internet connection.
Airplane mode
Flying for 6 hours? Bobby’s local notifications still fire on schedule. Your daily digest arrives at 8 AM whether or not you have WiFi. When you land and reconnect, everything syncs and the schedule updates.
No signal areas
Camping in the mountains? Rural area with spotty coverage? Bobby doesn’t rely on server connectivity for reminders. The notifications are scheduled locally, so they work anywhere your phone works.
Auto-sync on reconnect
When internet returns, Bobby syncs any changes from shared list members and recalculates your notification schedule. If someone completed a task while you were offline, the stale reminder is quietly removed.
Battery friendly
Local notifications use your device’s built-in scheduling system — no background polling, no constant server checks. Bobby is efficient with your battery while still being reliable with reminders.
