Set a reminder with Dopppel
Tell Dopppel to remind you and it will. Reminders can repeat, send you something new each time, go on your Google Calendar, and keep the clock time you asked for.
What it is
You do not fill in a form for this. You say it the way you would say it out loud: "remind me tomorrow at 9 to call the bank". Dopppel sets it. It can be a one-time nudge, or one that comes back — every morning, every Monday. When the time comes, the reminder shows up in Dopppel. It can also ping your phone and land in your email. In Settings, under Notifications, there is a switch for each of those: one for Dopppel, one for your phone, one for email. Keep the ones you want and turn off the rest.
A reminder can also send you something new each time — "send me a new dinner recipe every Sunday", or a news brief every Monday. It is never the same one twice. Each one comes in that reminder's own chat. Reply there, like "less spicy", and the next one follows what you said. It uses what Dopppel remembers about you, too. After an answer you may want again, Dopppel may ask one short question, like "Want me to send you a new chicken recipe on a schedule?" Answer in your own words, like "every Friday". Nothing is set until you say yes. To change one, just say so — "make it Saturdays", "pause it", "stop it" — in a chat or by voice. A small row under the newest one also has "Change" and "Stop". If 3 in a row go unread, Dopppel pauses it and tells you. It also pauses one that cannot be sent 3 times in a row, and says so in its chat. Say "turn it back on" to start it again. In the Reminders list, these show "Runs a prompt" in front of the time. You can have 10 of these on at once, and each comes at most once a day. Plain reminders can have 50 on at once.
If you connect your Google Calendar, your reminders land there as well, next to everything else you have on. When you mention a plan with a day and time but do not ask for a reminder — "my dentist moved to Friday at 10" — Dopppel may ask first with a small card. Tap "Add" to set it, or the ✕ for "Not now". The Reminders page also shows check-in ideas from what you told Dopppel, like asking a friend how an interview went. Tap "Add" to set one.

Questions
Can Dopppel send me something new every week?
Yes. Ask for it, like "send me a new dinner recipe every Sunday". Each time you get a new one, never the same one twice. Reply in its chat, like "less spicy", and the next one follows what you said. You can have 10 of these on at once.
Can a reminder repeat?
Yes. Ask for every day, or every Monday, and it comes back on its own.
Will it go on my calendar?
It can. Connect your Google Calendar and your reminders land there too.
What if the clocks change?
Your reminder keeps the clock time you asked for. If you said 9 in the morning, it still comes at 9 in the morning after the clocks move.
Will Dopppel add things to my calendar without asking?
No. If you mention a plan but did not ask for a reminder, Dopppel may show a small card first. Nothing is added until you tap "Add". This only happens in your own typed chats, not in a Gäng or a voice call.
Can I take back or stop a reminder?
Yes. Right under the answer that set it there is a small row with an "Undo" button. Tap it and the reminder is gone — off your calendar too. Tap "Put back" if you change your mind. Later, just say "stop the bank one" or "pause it", in a chat or by voice, and a row with "Undo" shows what changed. You can also open Reminders in the side menu.
