How to Turn On Gentle Reminders & Customise Them So They Help, Not Annoy

You’ve just finished a long day. You open EvenUS to check the Live Household Balance and suddenly a notification pops up: “Hey team ❤️ Partner A has carried 38 extra mental load minutes this week. Would you like to shift grocery planning this Sunday? It’s a quick 20-minute task that could bring you both to 91% balance.”

No guilt. No pressure. Just a kind, helpful suggestion that feels like a loving teammate gently looking out for both of you.

This is exactly how EvenUS Gentle Reminders are designed, to support your relationship instead of adding stress. But the real power comes when you turn them on and customise them so they perfectly match your lifestyle and never feel like nagging.

In this complete guide, you’ll learn exactly how to enable reminders and fine-tune every setting so they become one of the most helpful, loving features in the entire app.

Why Customising Gentle Reminders Makes All the Difference

Default reminders are already gentle, but every couple is different. Some like reminders in the evening, some prefer mornings. Some want more mental load suggestions, others want fewer. Customising ensures the reminders feel personal, timely, and supportive, never annoying.

Couples who spend 5 minutes customising their reminders report 40% higher satisfaction with the feature and almost zero “this feels like nagging” feedback.

Step-by-Step: How to Turn On Gentle Reminders

Step 1: Open the App & Go to Settings Tap your profile icon (top right) → Tap “Settings” → Scroll to “Reminders & Notifications”.

Step 2: Turn On Gentle Reminders Toggle the main switch “Enable Gentle Reminders” to ON. You’ll immediately see a warm preview message: “We’ll only send helpful suggestions when they can make a real difference.”

Step 3: Choose Notification Style Pick your preferred tone:

Warm & Encouraging (default)
Playful & Light
Calm & Supportive

Step 4: Customise Frequency Choose how often you want reminders:

Light (2–3 per week)
Balanced (4–6 per week)
Proactive (daily gentle nudge)

Step 5: Select Topics You Care About Tick the areas you want reminders for:

Mental Load Rebalancing
Physical Chore Balance
Income-Aware Bill Suggestions
Leisure Time & Date Night Ideas
Appreciation Prompts

You can turn any topic on/off anytime.

Step 6: Set Preferred Times Choose when you’d like to receive reminders:

Morning (7–9 AM)
Evening Wind-Down (7–9 PM)
Weekend Planning (Saturday morning)

You can also set “Do Not Disturb” hours so reminders never interrupt dinner or sleep.

Step 7: Save & Test Tap “Save Preferences”. The app will send a test reminder to both phones so you can see exactly how it feels.

Total time: less than 2 minutes.

Real Examples of Customised Reminders That Feel Like Love

Before customisation (default): “Balance is 74%. Suggest shifting chores.”

After customisation (warm + evening only): “Good evening team ❤️ You both have 3 extra leisure hours this week. Want to shift meal planning so one of you can fully relax tonight? It will bring your harmony to 89%.”

Custom playful version: “Hey lovebirds! Your mental load is a little uneven this week. Fancy taking over grocery planning this Sunday? It’s 20 mins and will earn you major appreciation points ❤️”

Pro Tips to Make Reminders Feel Perfect

Start with “Balanced” frequency for the first two weeks, then adjust
Turn on “Appreciation Prompts”, these are pure positivity (e.g. “Your partner handled 3 mental load tasks today, want to send them a quick thank you?”)
Use the “Mute for 7 days” option if you’re on vacation or very busy
Review settings together every month during your Sunday report ritual
If a reminder ever feels off, tap “Not helpful”, the app learns and improves instantly

What You’ll Notice After Customising

Reminders become something you look forward to instead of dread
Your partner feels supported rather than nagged
Small imbalances get fixed early and gently
Overall relationship harmony climbs faster
You both feel more connected and appreciated every week
