# Notifications

Timebox and due date reminder notifications 👀

## Timebox notifications

### What are they?

Timebox notifications are notifications for anything on the timebox. You will get notifications for both calendar events and timeboxed tasks. 

You can enable them on iOS by going to Settings -> Notifications and toggling "Timebox notifications" on. You can also specifiy if you want to receive the notifications exactly at the time of the task OR a little bit before.
