OpenVitals reminders are local device notifications for supported wellness workflows.

Hydration Reminders

Hydration reminders can use an active time window and interval schedule. They pause after the daily hydration goal is reached and resume on the next day. Saving a hydration entry can automatically hide an active hydration reminder.

Mindfulness Reminders

Mindfulness reminders can help users return to timer or session logging workflows. Reminder settings stay local to the device.

Android Permissions

On Android versions that require it, OpenVitals asks for notification permission before showing reminders. Boot completion permission is used to restore local schedules after reboot or app update.

Privacy

Reminder preferences are stored locally. Reminders do not upload health data and do not require an OpenVitals account.
