Reminders

Kaluach can remind you of your events with a Windows notification.

Event reminders

Check Remind me in an event. You are reminded on the day before each occurrence, at the Event Reminders time set in Settings (9:00 unless you change it). For a Sephardi azkara there is a second reminder on the Friday before the Shabbat that precedes it — the Shabbat of the week before if the azkara itself falls on Shabbat. An event that also recurs on a civil date is reminded before that date too.

The notification shows the event — for example “Itamar · Birthday” — and its civil and Hebrew date. Windows shows it even when Kaluach is closed.

Shabbat and Yom Tov

Kaluach sends nothing on Shabbat or Yom Tov. A reminder that would fall on Shabbat or Yom Tov comes a day earlier, and on the day before it comes at least half an hour before candle lighting — so a Sunday azkara gets a single reminder on Friday. Shabbat, Yom Tov and candle lighting follow the location in use.

Keeping reminders coming

Reminders are scheduled with Windows up to a year ahead, and again each time Kaluach starts and whenever events, the reminder time, the language or the location change; open it from time to time to keep them coming.

Zmanim alarms are not yet available in Kaluach.
