Reminder Centre on iPhone/iPad
- Open Today.
- Tap the bell Reminders control.
- Review the active reminder items.
- Open an item to go to the relevant journal context.

Reminder content is designed to remain privacy-safe and does not include Gift Idea titles by default.
Per-Occasion reminders
When editing an Occasion, choose whether it uses the global defaults, a custom reminder timing or no reminders. Changing an individual Occasion does not have to change the global default.
Apple Watch notification routing
The Watch does not run a separate duplicate Gift Journal reminder scheduler for v1.0. Notifications are routed through Apple’s system behaviour. See Apple Watch.
Widgets
The Gift Journal provides privacy-safe read-only widget surfaces such as:
- Next Occasion;
- Coming Up;
- Event Readiness.
Widget snapshots are intentionally sanitised. They do not publish private Idea titles, Hint text, URLs, notes, prices or photos by default.
Tap a widget to deep-link into the matching app context when the platform supports the route.
Mac widgets
Native Mac widgets use a separate privacy-safe snapshot and can follow the Mac theme. macOS may also show iPhone widgets through Continuity; those belong to the iPhone installation and should not be confused with the native Mac widget provider.
