Reminders

On supported macOS builds, ask the agent for a reminder with a clear time and message: “Remind me in twenty minutes to check the draft.” Confirm the time on the result, especially for ambiguous requests such as “at five.”

Nock reminders are separate from Apple Reminders. Their schedule is stored locally. Interpreting your voice request can still use a model service; local scheduling does not make the entire interaction offline.

Manage a reminder

Ask what reminders you have, move a named reminder to another time, or cancel it. Supported repeat patterns include daily, weekdays, and weekly. Times use the computer’s current time zone, so check important reminders after travel or time-zone changes.

When a reminder appears, dismiss it or ask to snooze it. Dismissing a repeating reminder does not cancel its future schedule. To stop future occurrences, explicitly cancel or pause it.

If it is late

Nock must be running to present reminders. It does not supply a separate system notification while the app is closed. When it starts again, it checks for missed reminders. A repeating schedule does not replay every missed occurrence as separate alerts.

Presentation can also wait while you are recording or in an active agent turn. Use a dedicated alarm or calendar for safety-critical or time-critical alerts rather than treating Nock as a guaranteed alarm service.

If creation is unavailable

Check Settings → Agent → Actions → Set reminders. Turning it off blocks new reminders and edits; management operations such as listing or cancelling existing reminders can remain available. Read an error before retrying, and check the current reminder list to avoid duplicates.
