If nothing’s on, nothing comes. ### Dates from templates Templates bring their dates along. Create the moving-house template in the calendar on moving day and it spreads its tasks over the weeks before and the time after. ### Stays in its folder A date doesn’t move anything: the note stays in its folder and also shows up in the calendar. How to ## Four things to know - ### Give a note a date Tap **Date** below the title and pick the day. The × next to it takes it away again. - ### Give a task a date 1. Write a task – or choose **/Task with a day**. 2. Type > and pick the day. 3. `>today` or `>tomorrow` and a space become a date too. - ### Create a daily note Pick a day in the calendar and click **Create daily note**. **New → Note** gives it the day too while the calendar is open. - ### Switch on the reminder Under Settings → Notes and start you switch on the morning message and pick the time. **Send now** shows you straight away what it looks like. ### Good to know - The reminder comes by e-mail (your account needs a confirmed address) or as a push on every device you switch it on for - On iPhone and iPad, push only works once Snowfox is on your home screen - The week starts on Monday or Sunday – you choose - The reminder only comes on time if something wakes the server every few minutes [More on timing →](https://www.snowfoxnotes.com/en/self-hosting#requirements) Questions ## Questions about calendar and tasks ### Does a date move my note? No. The note stays in its folder and also shows up in the calendar. ### How does a task get a date? Write it into the line with a > in front, such as “Send the offer >2026-11-12”. Type > in a task and the editor offers days. The task then shows on that day in the calendar, whichever note it’s in. ### How does the morning reminder reach me?
