# Reminders and Due Dates

> Keep deadlines visible inside notes with reminders and due dates in Oystack

# Reminders and Due Dates

Reminders help you keep a note tied to a real deadline. Instead of tracking research tasks somewhere else, you can keep due dates inside the same workspace where the note lives.

## When reminders are useful

Use reminders when a note is connected to:

* a submission deadline
* a revision pass you do not want to forget
* a follow-up reading task
* a meeting, review, or handoff

## Adding a due date

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the note">
    Go to the note you want to track.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a due date">
    Use the due date control near the top of the note and choose a date that
    matches your deadline or follow-up window.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optional: add a short reminder note">
    Add a small note if you want to capture what the reminder is for.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Quick ways to schedule

Depending on the note, you can set reminders for:

* today
* tomorrow
* next week
* a custom date

This makes it easy to keep lightweight deadlines in motion without leaving your writing flow.

## Clearing or updating a reminder

You can update the date when plans change or clear the reminder when the note no longer needs a deadline.

<Tip>
  Reminders work best for active notes. If a note has turned into archive
  material, clear the reminder and keep the note focused on the content itself.
