Popular Post antpugh 45 Posted June 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2013 If you could add this feature, it would make my life complete!!!! So it would be a reminder/alarm at a regular period ie. every Monday at 10am, the last day of each month, every day at midday etc. etc. 36 4 Link to comment

0 Level 5* CalS 5,132 Posted September 24, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted September 24, 2017 Another workaround is to reset the reminder each time, manually. Not optimal for sure, but for me having everything in one place is worth the squeeze. I tag each of these notes with !Recur so as it is easy to find them should the need arise. I have 16 recurring notes, so not that many to cause a lot of pain. FWIW. In addition, I have PhraseExpress hotkeys for creating, changing, completing and clearing reminders. This makes it easy in general to work with reminders. Link to comment

0 TK0047 411 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I would like the recurring reminders too. I have a tracking note for my allergy shots and every week, I reset the reminder after I get my shot and I update my log. It would be nice to just have "every monday" as a reminder and not have to change the reminder every time. It obviously sounds like a "petty" problem but when you see other apps do it all the time, you start to expect it from Evernote as well. I use Todoist, it has this option which is really nice to have. 2 Link to comment

0 Level 5* gazumped 10,728 Posted May 10, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hi. It's only possible to repeat such notes manually within the app - each time one pops up, change the date to activate the next due time. 'Repeat' is not an Evernote option. If you receive your Evernote reminders by email, various email clients have their own built in reminder systems to deal with incoming mails, and some web services like https://www.followupthen.com/ allow you to forward Evernote emails to that service and receive regular reminders from it. Most users seem to have a third-party solution - a 'to do' app - that handles repeats as necessary. Mine's https://ticktick.com/ - I set up tasks, appointments and reminders there, but add a note-link back to the details stored in Evernote. Link to comment

For example "repeat every week" or "repeat everi monday" Thanks! Others have expressed interest in recurring reminders as well, and I am one of them as well. Until that feature, you can try using TAGS for a similar purpose but you will have to be disciplined enough to run those. You can have a tag called DAILY, or MONDAY and you run those saved searches on those specific times. I use Todoist for those kind of reminders, it takes "every work week" as an input as you type the task in. So if I wanted to remind myself to check the DAILY tag in Evernote, I would create a task in Todoist to remind me every day to run that search inquiry. This would be another workaround if you are not disciplined to run the tag search. Link to comment
0 Level 5* CalS 5,132 Posted May 10, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted May 10, 2018 I added FollowUpThen to my process to help manage recurring reminders. FUT sends reminder emails at an appointed date/time as well as on a recurring basis. For example I use !Weekly as a tag for notes I want to review weekly. I have a note titled !Weekly reminder note. I set up a Monday recurring reminder in FUT so every Monday morning I get an email triggering me to go to my !Weekly tag. I include a link to the !Weekly reminder note in FUT so I click on the link in the email and then Shift+Click on the caret next to !Weekly when the note opens in EN. I have a saved view for the !Weekly tag so that is what appears. May sound more complicated than it actually is. Full disclosure, I also have a reminder on the !Weekly reminder note which I change each week after the review. So I remind myself two ways, the FUT email (a true interrupt) and my Today search. May be overkill, but.... Link to comment

For the "clear overview"; add todo note links to the master note Thanks DTLow - Yes, I sometimes link subnotes to a master/overview note (which can have its own Reminder Date); and using the COPY NOTE LINK ⌃ ⌥ ⌘ C shortcut on the target note cuts out some of the mousing which helps. Though often I have heaps of really brief todos (phone someone at a particular time, book rail ticket between two dates, etc) so this is quite an arduous solution for stuff like that. Also, maybe just me but I find a notebook full of To Do notes mixed up with, say, reference/info notes, my own notes, slightly overwhelming and need to manually check to make sure I'm on top of things. The notes can only be sequenced by Date, Alphabetic order of Title, not by Reminder Date. So it takes me more than a quick glance to realise I'm on track. Or not. I usually keep Notebooks in Stacks, which gives the useful feature of viewing all the Notes with that have Reminder Dates; and these can be dragged around and ticked off when complete. BUT, I've found the feature to be unreliable: some notes with Reminder Dates do not show up in this view. I've sometimes hacked it back into shape by deleting and reseting the Reminder Date; sometimes this has not worked and I've had to copy the contents of the bad note into a brand new note and reset the Reminder Date. There's been an update since this happened and things have been ok. Maybe that's fixed it. But that aside, I probably need to get into the habit of keeping separate notebooks for Project ToDos and Project Information and have the master note linked all in one stack. That would do most of the stuff that I want Cheers, Link to comment

0 bounce 74 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I’d like to see reminders as a first class feature baked in Evernote similar to how this new competitor is going about it: ”Glad you asked, this is an area we've very passionate about! We've probably spent half of our development time building todo list features. Our todo lists currently support: • Fixed recurring todos (e.g., every Thursday at 8pm) • Snooze / Hide item from list for X time • Relative recurring todos (e.g., whenever I call grandma, remind me to call her again a month from now) • Time estimation: optional means to assist Amplenote in estimating priority of task • Important/urgent designation: optional means to assist Amplenote in estimating priority of task • "Todo trash" = whenever you finish an item, it's automatically moved to bottom of note, and grouped by day so you can quickly see how much you got done on a per-day or per-week basis Native reminders are a feature we already have in our UI, but it's not enabled yet. Probably late this month or early January for reminders.” Link to comment

0 Birsealmighty 0 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) I'd like the Evernote decision makers to accept the following constructive criticism and sort this out ASAP. I'll start by getting straight to the point. As a brand new user, No thanks for wasting my time with your product I will never get back. Over a feature called recurring reminders which I can see exasperated customers have been asking for - not days, not months, but years! The background story as to how I arrived at Evernote is as follows. My laptop has stopped working. What with current Covid-19 restrictions, I am unable to purchase the laptop I require due to out-of-stock/long-delivery-times. Although a current user of Microsoft To-Do, I'm currently using my Amazon Fire tablet as much as possible vs my mobile phone as I prefer the larger screen. Microsoft To-Do is not available on the Fire. So, I searched to see what was available, and was about to switch to Evernote and would have subscribed to the premium version as I was loving what I saw. Then I tried to add a recurring reminder (To-Do list) but couldn't. So, as a new user I looked this up and came upon this link and read on. More time wasted registering for this forum and wasting more of my time writing this message. I cannot believe Evernote you are still procrastinating and wasting customers time over this. Prior to this I used Google Keep which is a tragic piece of software, hence the move to Microsoft To-Do. What a missed opportunity not just for me, but for existing, lapsed and new customers who need this feature but like me will now take their leave. Should you decide to end this madness please email me to advise and I will continue from where I was brought to an abrupt halt.I Yours still puzzled at Evernote's business strategy.

I can't tell you what Evernote's business strategy is, but my any measure, they've achieved a pretty good market share in the note-keeping/taking market. As far as I can tell, Evernote is most commonly used for collecting and organizing disparate sorts of information. It's great for research, record keeping, and many other related uses. As you found out, its tools for to-do list activities are on the light side -- in fairness, they've never advertised themselves as a dedicated to-do list application, and that's pretty clearly not been their business strategy. I use Evernote's reminders for light to-do stuff at home; for the real thing at work, we use dedicated software for that (though Evernote still plays a pretty good-sized part of my day-to-day). So OK, you expended some energy figuring that out; that's pretty much what you have to do when looking for tools of any kind, software or hardware. And sure, a recurring reminders facility is a longstanding request, one of a fair number; many software companies have a significant backlog of feature requests, and they, like Evernote prioritize on things like level-of-effort, fit for their customers, and their own vision for what Evernote should be. Companies have limited resources, and must choose how to use them. Sometimes they're smart about it, sometimes not. Moral of the story: you were looking for a tool that solved your need for recurring reminders. You expended a some effort and found out that Evernote was not that tool. Sorry that you feel like you wasted your time, but it also feels as though you let your own expectations override actual facts. As far as wasting time registering for the forum and writing a post here, you chose to do that. I'm puzzled as to why you even bothered. Link to comment

0 adkisson 14 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I tried Filterize and didn't like it, so I wrote my own. This solution depends on Mac Automation. Mobile users with a Mac can benefit if you leave it running. This script accepts natural language tags in a variety of formats that begin with "repeat". Yes, these are actual tag names. "repeat every 3 days" "repeat Tuesday" "repeat monthly" "repeat daily at 5pm" "repeat 2 weeks" "repeat every Wed" "repeat yearly" "repeat every 3 months 8AM" "repeat July 4" "repeat Feb 17th at 8:30pm" When it detects a note with a repeat tag and a completed reminder, it automatically resets the reminder time to the date specified. EDIT: I updated script to support multiple recurrences. It picks the earliest one found. You could use ["repeat Mon", "repeat Wed", "repeat Fri"] to make a M/W/F repeating schedule. Or you could use ["repeat 1st", "repeat 16th"] to setup a bi-monthly schedule. I set mine up to run via cron every minute. It acts similar to Filterize, but this is FREE. crontab -e * * * * * osascript $HOME/Library/Scripts/Evernote-recurring.scpt Feedback welcome. Evernote-recurring.scpt 2 Link to comment

I set mine up to run via cron every minute. Thanks for sharing the script I also use Mac scripts for recurring reminders I'm not sure about the impact of running every minute on my antique Mac Mini Instead, I run my script when required to mark reminders as complete - handles simple reminders and recurring reminders - includes a "repeat ?" tag for recurrences that can't be computed - appends a "Completed - date/time" line to the note contents A benefit of running on-demand, is it allows for a dialog on completion date/time, and new reminder date/time I realize this restricts the use to a Mac computer >>When it detects a note with a repeat tag and a completed reminder, it automatically resets the reminder time to the date specified. I see you're using search tag:repeat* reminderDoneTime:* I use a similar search to ensure recurring reminders are reset >>run via cron I use the periodic trigger feature in Keyboard Maestro Link to comment

0 steeler 1 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I came across to this page while looking how to set a repeating reminder. I read the very first message a few times. I am still shocked that how this sort of feature is not there despite requests backing to 2013. This is a fundamental thing for a note taking app. 1 Link to comment
0 flyshade_xie 0 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Right now the reminder can only be set for one time. Please add the ability for recurring reminder (like weekly, monthly, yearly, etc). Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 6,767 Posted September 10, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Just as a reminder (sic): Everything posted in this thread as possible solutions / workarounds before October 2020 will only work when using the legacy client. The original feature request still has it merits, waiting for a solution under v10. Link to comment
0 Jason Burnett 1 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 And here it is, eight years after the original post that started this thread, and we're STILL waiting for recurring reminders. It seems like the implementation of tasks would have been the perfect time to add it - I think I use more recurring tasks in my life than I do nonrecurring ones. Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 6,767 Posted October 5, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Reminders were not even touched when tasks were implemented. These are two completely separate features. It might even happen that tasks get a recurring function - and reminders won’t. Let us hope both will get that feature. 2 Link to comment
0 johnyboi 9 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 9 years later, and antpugh's life is still incomplete many new shiny toys, but essential user requests still ignored 🤷♂️ Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 6,767 Posted March 7, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Anybody can define any request as „essential“. If essential, the EN app would be dead in the waters of the software industry by long - in fact it is alive and kicking. So let us just say „recurring reminders would add a lot of value to reminders and tasks“, vote the thread up and hope for the best. To bring your view to the attention of EN PM, you can use the feedback function in addition. 1 Link to comment
0 NikolayBPetrov 4 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I quite like this idea. A must-have for a GTD user! Link to comment

If you could add this feature, it would make my life complete!!!!
So it would be a reminder/alarm at a regular period ie. every Monday at 10am, the last day of each month, every day at midday etc. etc.

Hello I would like to be able to set reccuring reminders on specific notes so that I can set up a note for recurring events that have to be dealt with. It would be nice if they could be set up

Just a quick, small feature request. I'd like to have the ability to set up recurring reminders. I use Google Calendar for actual appointments, but I'd like to be reminded to read specific Evernote no
