Custom mobile reminders
A lot of the times I need a notification for an upcoming event, I am out and about and not near my desk/computer. It would be handy to be able to customize reminders on mobile instead of just going by the default calendar setting on desktop. The functionality already exists on desktop and would be great to see on mobile. My desktop workflow uses different reminder times for different events on the same calendar: 30 min for zoom meetings, 10 min for general events, etc. Having one set reminder time for all events on a calendar on mobile feels backwards :(

Mobile Alerts Nonexistant
I saw that you already reflected this suggestion by another user. Why? I literally have to use Reminders (an app I don’t pay for) to get an alert for a calendar event on an app I must ostensibly pay for. This alone is enough to not get a subscription.

Hello,
To clarify, the scheduled events and tasks on your calendar that have a reminder on don’t appear on your phone.
Is that correct?
If that is the case, could you message us at support so we can further investigate?

To clarify: you cannot set a task specific alert on your mobile device. Even if there is a default notification system for tasks, I am unable to set the task to a specific time. Therefore, there is no mobile alert system with which a user can set a time specific alert. So if I’m out of the house, away from my desktop, I am unable to set reminders with alerts for today, and if the alert is for another day, I have to remember to go into my desktop when I get home in order to set the task to a specific time. So perhaps this is actually a suggestion for task/calendar interface. Am I missing something? If I am, it’s not immediately obvious how one is able to schedule tasks on the mobile app.

This is important to me! The entire reason I switched to Morgen is to stop missing commitments by having a unified, consistent system with robust mobile reminders. Mobile seems to sync custom reminders from desktop just fine, the issue is when adding or trying to edit an event on mobile, which I do pretty frequently (e.g. at dentist or doctor’s office).
Currently when I add an appointment on mobile the only reminder possible is the default reminder, which is better than nothing, but if I need something custom (e.g.: it’s a longer drive), I have to set a todo for myself to fix it — or use the workaround, which is logging in to morgen web on my phone (I have to select ‘request desktop version’ and then squint at the tiny UI). This is necessary because for some reason Morgen doesn’t seem to sync reminders with the source calendar, otherwise editing in the source calendar would have been a suitable workaround.

This is important to me. Thanks to my ADHD, reminders play a key part in keeping my life together. That only works if I can actually receive them at the right time, even if I'm away from desktop.
Right now, even if I configure per-task reminders on desktop, mobile ignores them. Not great! Also annoying every time I get double-reminded for an event because my devices don't fire at the same time.
