Daily Reminder

The daily reminder is a single local notification that fires only on days you haven't logged anything. It's on by default for new accounts, and it was switched on for existing accounts in version 2.14. If you'd never turned it on, you'll have seen a one-time card on Home, "Daily reminder is on", with Change time and Turn off buttons. If you already had it on, nothing changed: your time was kept and there was no card.

When you sign up

At the end of onboarding, Pocket Clear asks "Want a nudge at 9 PM?" — "One reminder a day to log what you spent. Change the time anytime in Settings."

• Turn on reminders shows your phone's notification permission prompt, so the reminder can actually reach you.
• Not now skips the prompt for now. Pocket Clear asks again later at a natural moment, such as after an early entry, and you can always allow notifications from your phone's settings.

You only see this screen if you haven't already answered the permission prompt for Pocket Clear, and never when you sign back in. On Android it appears on Android 13 and later, where apps need permission to post notifications. It comes right after the Log this week's spending step.

What it says

The note depends on how long it's been since your last entry:

• Before your first entry: "Don't forget to log today's transactions in Pocket Clear."
• One day: "Yesterday is still empty. Add what you spent in a few taps."
• Two to six days: "3 days unlogged, about ₹1,400 of your usual spending. Fill them in?" — the amount is your last 30 days of spending divided by 30, times the days missed. Tapping it opens the catch-up screen. With a cut-back goal it says "3 days without a Food & Dining entry. Keep your cut-back honest." instead.
• Day seven: "We'll stop after today. Tap whenever you want to pick the habit back up."
• After that: nothing, until you log again — then the cycle restarts.

The hour learns from you

The reminder starts at 9 PM. Once you have five entries from the last 60 days, it moves to one hour after the time you most often log (never earlier than 8 AM or later than 10 PM). It looks at your 30 most recent entries and checks again each time you save one. The moment you set a time yourself in Settings, or tap Turn off on the Home card, Pocket Clear stops adjusting it for good.

Changing the time, or turning it off

1. Open Settings and scroll to Reminders.
2. Use the Daily Reminder toggle to turn it off, or tap the time underneath to pick another.
3. If the toggle is on but you don't receive anything, the row shows "Notifications are off for Pocket Clear in system settings" with a button that opens the system page.

Only one local notification is sent per day. The separate streak reminder from earlier versions has been folded into this one. The weekly summary on Sunday mornings is a different notification with its own toggle.
