Set reminders
Get a nudge to try the potty at the times and spacing you choose. Reminders are free on every plan.
Steps
- Tap Reminders at the bottom, or the bell on the home screen. You can also open Settings and tap Potty reminders.
- Turn on Notify me to receive reminders on this device. On your phone, allow notifications when asked.
- Choose a preset: Daytime, School hours or Home. Or tap Custom to set your own.
- In custom mode, tap Start and End to set the hours, and drag the Every (N) min slider to set how often (5 to 120 minutes). Tap + Add shift for a second or third time window.
- Go back. Changes save on their own, and you will see Schedule saved.
Good to know
- Notify me is per person and per device. The schedule is shared by the household. Turning your own switch off does not stop anyone else's reminders.
- Reminders only come during the hours you set. The summary at the top shows the plan, for example "Every 90 min between 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM".
- If an end time is earlier than the start time, the window runs into the next day. You will see "Ends the next day".
- Two windows cannot overlap. You will see a message asking you to adjust the times.
- To make your own preset, tap the pencil next to Presets, then + Add preset. Custom presets are saved on this device.
- On the web, the reminder appears in the app while it is open. Phones can notify you in the background.
- If the switch will not turn on, check that notifications are allowed for PottyGo in your phone's settings.
