Meal reminders throughout the day

Pro

Why it helps

Meal reminders that start on your schedule

Set the interval that fits your routine. Start the daily sequence when your first meal begins. The next day, you can start at a different time without changing the setup.

How to set it up

One reminder, four steps

  1. 1
    Name it “Time to eat”

    Use a title that will be immediately clear when the alert appears.

    Reminder title field set to Time to eat
  2. 2
    Choose Manual cycle and set 180 minutes

    This mode waits until you start the day's sequence. The interval is demonstration data, not a recommendation.

  3. 3
    Choose when reminders can arrive

    Set Active window to 07:00–21:00. The next reminders will arrive only during this time range.

    Active window starting at 7:00 AM and ending at 9:00 PM
  4. 4
    Turn on a start reminder for 08:00

    DKReminder quietly prompts you to begin. Tap Start with your first meal, or Remind me later if you are not ready. After you start, the next reminders arrive at your chosen interval.

    Cycle start reminder enabled for 8:00 AM
The first prompt is silent. A repeat after Remind me later can use the soft sound selected in global settings. This preview will be replaced with a real notification screenshot.

How it behaves

The same rule can start at a different time

Both days use the same demonstration settings: a 180-minute interval and an active window ending at 21:00.

Day 1 · Start at 08:15

  1. 08:15Start
  2. 11:15Alert
  3. 14:15Alert
  4. 17:15Alert
  5. 20:15Alert

Day 2 · Start at 10:00

  1. 10:00Start
  2. 13:00Alert
  3. 16:00Alert
  4. 19:00Alert
  5. 22:00Outside the window

Expected behavior

What DKReminder will do

Help you start on time

The quiet prompt offers Start or Remind me later. The daily sequence begins only after you choose Start.

Count the interval

The first alert comes after the selected interval, not at the moment you press Start.

Respect the window

New planned alerts stop when the next time would fall outside the active window.

Reset for tomorrow

You start a new daily cycle yourself when the next day’s routine begins.

What is important to know

Manual cycle is a DKReminder Pro feature. DKReminder helps follow a routine you already chose; it does not advise how often to eat and does not promise health or weight outcomes.

Set a reminder around your own routine.

Choose the values that fit you, then let DKReminder keep track of the next signal.
