# Reminders and notifications

> Set how far ahead a reminder arrives, define quiet hours, and choose which of the 20+ notification types you want.

Each bill can have its own reminder offset and delivery time, and every notification type can be turned off individually.

## Reminder offsets and custom times

The default is 3 days before the due date. Presets run from 1 day to 2 weeks, and **Custom** accepts any number of days.

* Presets: 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks before the due date
* Custom offset: any number of days in advance
* Custom time: the exact hour and minute the reminder fires
* Each bill has its own independent reminder time

<Note>
  Some plans support two reminders per bill — for example an early heads-up plus a final nudge the day before.
</Note>

## Quiet hours

Quiet hours suppress banners and sounds during a window you define. Notifications are still delivered to your notification center; they just do not make noise or light up the screen.

Configure them in **Settings → Push Notifications → Quiet Hours**.

* Set a start and end time for the window
* Choose which days of the week it applies to
* Overnight ranges such as 10 PM to 7 AM work as expected
* Different windows can apply on weekdays and weekends

<Tip>
  Quiet hours are worth setting even if you keep every notification type on. It is the difference between being informed and being woken up.

## Notification types

Beyond due-date reminders, DueZen includes more than 20 specialized notification types. Enable or disable each one in **Settings → Push Notifications**.

| Type                 | When it fires                                           |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Morning briefing     | Each morning, summarizing today's and this week's bills |
| End-of-month wrap-up | As the month closes, with your paid and unpaid count    |
| Budget alert         | When spending reaches 80% of your limit                 |
| Trial expiring       | 7, 3, and 1 day before a free trial converts            |
| Overdue alert        | Immediately when a bill passes its due date             |
| Grace period alert   | 1 day before a grace window closes                      |
| Flux alert           | 3 days before a variable-amount bill is due             |
| Streak recognition   | At 3, 6, 12, and 24-month payment streaks               |
| Snooze and pause     | When a snooze expires or a paused bill resumes          |

Digests are available if you prefer a summary to individual pings — a morning overview or a weekly roundup.

<Info>
  Notification content visibility on your lock screen follows your operating system settings, not DueZen's. If you use [App Lock](/advanced/app-lock), notifications still arrive while the app is locked.
