Feature Request: Reminders - Only Date, not Time?


Recommended Posts

Hello EN Community!

 

Is there a way I can add a reminder to a note, but only for a date, and not with a specific time? Sometimes there'll be a task without a specific time attached to it.

 

Thanks,

If you add a reminder,  the initial set-up is for the date you specify and the current time.  Depending on the nature of the reminder I tend to set the time to 0800 just for consistency.  I don't believe its possible to ignore the time.

Thanks! But then it'd give me a reminder at 8am, which I wouldn't want. 

 

Date without time request...

 

In Windows, I use the shortcut  Ctrl + ; 

followed by the backspace as needed.

 

Or you could use AutoKey to define a hotkey for just the date.

Cool! But then I wouldn't get a reminder, correct?

 

I'm thinking of something along the lines of Google Now's reminders. You can set a reminder for a particular date+time, time, or just date, and it'll remind you as "All Day".

Sorry, I misunderstood your request.

Yes, you are correct.

 

I do not use the reminder function because it does not work in the Evernote Windows list view.

Evernote may be changing the support pages around - that did say feedback as well as support requests,  I'm sure...  Anyhow;  you already made one request by posting here,  and I changed the title of the post so it now clearly is a request.  Thanks for the feedback!

Sahil, doesn't your smartphone come with it's own calendar? My Samsung Galaxy 3 does and I can schedule appointments, tasks, to do's and events months in advance with repeating reminders. I can also add full contact, location & event details, as well as attach notes from another part od the same calendar function.

What kind of phone do you hsve, specifically, I mean? I ask because there are all kinds of free resources online to learn the advanced functions of your phone, including, but not limited to:

* official and unofficial user manuals

* a ton of "How To" YouTube videos.

* some Google searches will bring up several How To articles

* and sometimes even free Users Helping Users Forums

Yes, I have a calendar that I can add events to, but adding a note in evernote that will "remind me" about it on a specific day (without a specific time) would be useful, don't you think? 

I could probably copy the note link into a calendar appointment but that would be a lot of unnecessary work.

Yes, it would be nice and I do use the Evernote Reminder function myself, but only as a quick visual reminder of ongoing projects as they stay sorta pinned near the top of each month. It would be great if Evernote were an all-in-one app, but I don't think that's likely to happen.

The other thing I do is that when I have a lot of text notes for upcoming appointments/events & tasks, is leave a very brief summary in my calender with a link to the notes I'm keeping about them in Evernote. It just makes my calendar less cluttered. ☺
