A reminder when you said you would, and a nudge when you did not.
Saving a video is easy to forget. Yevo attaches a time to what you saved, puts steps on your calendar, and brings it up when a step slips, so the plan turns into something you actually do instead of another notification you swipe away.
One reminder, set when you start
When you tap Start this on a plan, Yevo asks one question: “Started. When do I remind you?” The time defaults to today at 6 PM, or tomorrow if that has passed. Repeat daily until the plan is done is on by default, which sends one reminder a day for up to two weeks. Each one names the next step, like “Next: List every bill and tag each one need or want”.
Finish the last step and every pending reminder for that plan is removed. Tap Not now and you can set one later from the plan.
Put a step on your calendar
Open a step and tap Do this to give that step its own time. The first time, Yevo asks for calendar access, write-only, which means it can add events but cannot read the rest of your calendar. It adds a 30-minute event with an alert to a Yevo calendar, with a link back to the step. If you would rather not share your calendar, Yevo sends a notification at that time instead.
Nudges when something slips
Once an hour Yevo checks for steps that are overdue by more than a day. If you have one, he sends a nudge: a short line in your Coach thread and a notification. If nothing is overdue, you get at most a daily line at 9 AM your time, like “Today: 2 steps due, 1 overdue. Get it done.” Either way, it is never more than one nudge a day.
Nudges are on by default. If they are not for you, turn off the Nudges switch in Profile; reminders you set yourself still arrive.
What counts, and what does not
Reminders exist to get steps done, so steps are what count. A day joins your streak when you finish your daily goal of steps, one, two, three or five a day, whichever you picked. Every seven days of streak earns a freeze, up to two banked, which covers a day you miss. Saving a video, opening the app or reading a summary counts for nothing.
If a nudge lands and you are stuck, reply to it: Yevo knows which steps are due. The steps themselves are explained on action plans.
Questions
Does Yevo read my calendar?
No. Yevo asks for write-only calendar access, so it can add the steps you schedule but cannot see your other events. Without access, it uses a notification at the same time.
How many notifications will I get?
The reminders you set, plus at most one nudge a day. Plan reminders repeat daily for up to two weeks and stop as soon as the plan is done.
Can I turn nudges off?
Yes. Turn off Nudges in Profile. The reminders you set when starting a plan, and steps you put on your calendar, still arrive.
