Reminders

Reminders are custom, recurring nudges you create for the habits around your training — hydrating, strength work, wind-down, foam rolling, and anything else you want to do consistently. Each reminder has a name, an optional description, an emoji, and a schedule, and NexRex delivers it as a push notification, on your Home screen, or both. Reminders are separate from the AI-generated Daily reminder that summarises your plan. Those AI toggles are covered in Choose which AI insights & reminders you receive.

​

Open your reminders

1. Open the NexRex app.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Tap Reminders.

The screen groups your reminders into Active and Paused sections with counts, and a header line tells you when your next nudge is due. If you have no reminders yet, you’ll see the template gallery so you can start from a curated runner habit.

​

Create a reminder

Tap Add reminder to open the template gallery, then either pick a template or tap Create custom reminder to start from scratch.

​

Start from a template

The gallery ships 11 curated runner-habit templates grouped into Training, Fuel, Recovery, and Habits — for example Easy run, Strength session, Hydrate, Post-run refuel, Photo your meals, Wind-down, Mobility, Soreness check-in, Foam roll & massage, Morning weigh-in, and Weekly check-in. Each template card carries a one-line hook. Tapping it opens a detail sheet with a Why it matters explanation and two paths:

• Add to my reminders — saves the template as-is with its suggested schedule.
• Customize schedule — opens the editor pre-filled with the template so you can adjust the time, days, or wording first.

​

Build your own

The editor starts with an identity card:

• Emoji — a single emoji that represents the habit. It leads the reminder everywhere it appears, including push notifications.
• Name — what the nudge says, for example Fill the bottle.
• Description — optional supporting text.

Then set the schedule:

• Repeats — choose Once, Daily, or Weekly.
• Date — one-time reminders need the date they fire.
• On these days — weekly reminders need at least one weekday. Tap the circular day tokens to toggle days on and off. The Save button stays disabled until at least one day is selected.
• Time — the local time of day the reminder is due, shown with its timezone.

Schedules are timezone-aware. NexRex stores the IANA timezone with the schedule (detected from your device), so a 07:00 reminder stays at 07:00 local time when you travel.

​

Edit, pause, or delete a reminder

From the list screen:

• Tap a reminder to open the editor and change any field. Existing reminders also gain a destructive Delete row at the bottom of the editor.
• Pause or resume a reminder with its toggle. Paused reminders move to the Paused section and stop being delivered until you re-enable them.
• Swipe a reminder to delete it. A confirmation dialog appears before anything is removed.

​

Delivery preferences

Delivery preferences are account-wide and apply to all of your reminders. Open them from the Delivery preferences action on the Reminders screen. The two channels are independent toggles:

• Push notification — NexRex sends a push at the scheduled time.
• Home planner — due reminders appear in a Reminders section on your Home screen.

Each channel has a Preview action so you can see exactly what you’d receive before committing:

• The push preview shows a notification-style banner in the app, labelled PREVIEW, and dismisses itself automatically.
• The Home planner preview shows a static mock of how the reminder card appears on your home screen.

Previews never change your settings — the toggles only save when you tap Save.

​

Due reminders on Home

When Home planner delivery is on, today’s due reminders appear in a Reminders section on the Home screen. Each entry has two actions:

• Complete — marks today’s occurrence done.
• Skip — dismisses today’s occurrence without completing it.

Completing or skipping only affects that day’s occurrence. The reminder itself keeps its schedule and fires again at the next occurrence. Once per day, when you land on Home with pending nudges, NexRex also shows a digest — One nudge for today or N nudges for today — listing what’s due or coming up. You can complete items directly in the digest, tap Manage reminders to jump to the Reminders screen, or tap Got it to dismiss it until tomorrow.

​

Reminders on the web console

The web console has the same reminders under Settings → Reminders. The Runner reminders page shows your Push notifications and Home planner delivery toggles plus your Active and Paused reminders, each with enable/pause, edit, and delete controls. Creating or editing a reminder opens a form with the same template gallery and fields as the app: name, emoji, description, Repeats (Daily, Weekly, One time), time, weekday picker, and date for one-time reminders. Changes sync both ways — a reminder created on the web fires on your phone, and pauses made in the app show up on the web.
