Choose how early you're reminded
Set your advance notice anywhere from 1 to 30 days, and use a rule to change it for some subscriptions.
Advance notice is how many days before a renewal your reminder goes out. The default is 7 days. You can pick anything from 1 to 30.
The offered steps are 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14, and 30 days before. If a different value was set elsewhere — by a rule, or on the web app — your reminder settings will show that value as the selected one rather than silently snapping it to the nearest step.
Two places, and which one wins
Advance notice can be set in two places. When they disagree, the more specific one wins:
| Set on | Beats |
|---|---|
| A rule | The global default, for every subscription the rule matches. |
| Your reminder settings (global) | Nothing — it is the fallback everything else starts from. |
So the number on your main reminder settings screen is what a subscription falls back to, not necessarily what every subscription will do. To change one service without touching the rest, add a rule that matches it, such as "name contains Netflix", with Change when I am reminded. Three active rules are free; Premium makes them unlimited.
A single subscription can also have its own time of day: open it and set its alert time. Your other reminders keep their usual time.
Match the notice to the size of the charge. 3 days is plenty for a $12 streaming plan; a $180 annual renewal deserves 14 or 30 so you have time to compare alternatives or use a refund window.
