How do I set default reminders for events on Howbout?

You can choose which reminders are automatically added to new events, set separately for each color category.

  1. Head to the Calendar tab (📅)
  2. Tap the Settings icon (⚙️) in the top right corner
  3. Under ‘Colors’, select ‘Color categories’
  4. Select the category you want to set default reminders for. For all uncategorized events, select ‘None’
  5. Choose the reminders you want, e.g. at start time, 30 minutes before, 1 day before

🔍 Note: These defaults apply to new events only. Existing events keep their current reminders, and you can still change reminders on any individual event. All-day events always include a 6-hour reminder by default, plus any longer reminders you’ve chosen.
