Create a reminder

You can add a reminder three ways: tell the chat assistant, add it by hand from the Reminders tab, or pin a preset reminder onto a capture at the moment you save it. Chat is faster for everyday phrasing (“remind me to take the bins out tomorrow at 6pm”); the manual flow is faster when you’re already in the app and want to add several at once; capture-time is for “save this and remind me to read it tonight.”

Before you start

• Moonjar app installed and signed in.

Through chat (recommended)

1. Open Chat.

2. Tell the assistant what you need:

   “Remind me to call the dentist next Tuesday at 2pm.”

3. The assistant calls its manage_reminder tool and creates the item — picking the right list, parsing the date and time, and confirming.

The assistant handles natural-language dates (“next Tuesday”, “in three weeks”, “the day before my flight”) and will set a deadline rather than a scheduled time when you say “by” rather than “at”.

If you don’t say which list, it goes to your default list (Reminders) — or to a list you’ve recently been working in, depending on context.

From the Reminders tab

1. Open the Reminders tab (or Lists).
2. Pick a list, or stay on the Today/Upcoming/Someday views.
3. Tap + to add an item.
4. Fill in:
   • Title — required.
   • Notes — optional, free text.
   • When — date and optional time. Skip both for Someday.
   • Deadline — optional. Date the item must be done by; distinct from when it’s scheduled.
   • Priority — optional.
5. Save.

You can also add a checklist after creating the item — tap the item to open its detail view, then add sub-items.

At capture time

When you save something from the iOS share sheet, or in the note / URL modes of the Capture tab, expand the “Add a note, reminder, or send to triage” panel and pick a Remind me preset:

• Tonight 7pm — today at 7pm (or tomorrow at 7pm if it’s already past 7).
• Tomorrow 9am.
• Weekend — next Saturday at 9am.
• Next week — next Monday at 9am.

Moonjar saves the document, then creates a reminder pointing at it in your default list. Open the reminder from the Reminders tab to jump back to the document. Photo, PDF, and scan captures don’t support capture-time reminders yet.

What happens after

• A reminder with a date in the past or today shows up in Today.
• A future date shows up in Upcoming.
• No date and Someday checked → Someday.
• The reminder is private to you unless its list is shared with a group — list-level sharing covers all items in that list.
• If you’ve granted location permission, the reminder records where you were when you created it (so the assistant can later answer “reminders I made at the office”).
