Why didn’t I get a reminder?

Check the following:

  1. Platform — Reminders that use the device run on mobile only for push alerts; use the app on your phone for lock-screen reminders.
  2. Permissions — On the phone, confirm notifications are allowed for Medication Timer in system Settings.
  3. Battery / focus modes — Some phones delay or silence notifications when battery saver or Focus / Do Not Disturb is on.
  4. Schedule — Confirm the routine or timer actually applies to today (for weekly routines, check the right weekdays).

Pro tip: Open Today anytime to see what’s expected for the selected day, even when a push didn’t appear.
