Apple’s notification limit (good to know)

iOS allows only a limited number of scheduled notifications per moment in the system (the app targets up to 64 pending schedules). It prefers first reminders over optional follow-up nudges when space is tight; if you maintain many simultaneous reminders, some far-future slots may be dropped until you next open the app and sync.

Pro tip: Opening the app daily keeps local schedules synchronized with the latest Firestore data.
