Notifications and reminders

Turning reminders on or off

1. Open Settings and tap Reminders.
2. Toggle Enable Reminders on - iOS will ask for permission the first time - or off to cancel every scheduled reminder.
3. Choose a mode: Smart or Fixed times.

You can also control Stepzy's notifications from iOS Settings, under Notifications, then Stepzy - useful if you want them delivered quietly rather than switched off entirely.

Smart mode (the default)

Smart reminders look at how your day is going and only nudge you when you are behind pace. They learn your usual walking time from the last 28 days once there is about a week of data, and move a reminder to 30 minutes before that walk (never before 11 AM). Until then they use check-ins at 12 PM, 3:30 PM, 6:30 PM and 8:30 PM.

• At most two smart reminders a day.
• Nothing during quiet hours (9 PM to 8 AM by default) or in the half hour before they start.
• Nothing once your goal is met, and nothing on a skipped or paused day.
• With a streak of three days or more and today still open, one evening reminder is kept for a streak on the line nudge, at 6:30 PM or just before an evening walk.

The full rules are in Smart reminders.

Fixed times

Fixed times sends three reminders every day. Each time can be changed under REMINDER TIMES.
