Noodle Assistant

Get reminders for dates in your saves

Noodle spots dates in your notes, photos and PDFs and offers reminders: a month before, a week before and on the day. Add your own to any save, snooze them or mark them done.

Save a photo of your car insurance card and Noodle notices it renews on December 1. A clear expiry, due or renewal date gets a reminder on its own; other dates wait for you to confirm. A deadline reminder tells you a month before, a week before and on the day. You can also add a reminder to any save yourself.

Confirm a reminder Noodle found

  1. On Home, look at the Upcoming card. "2 to confirm" means Noodle found dates it wants you to check.
  2. Tap the card. Reminders opens with To confirm at the top.
  3. Read the suggestion and its date, such as "Suggested · Dec 1, 2026".
  4. Tap Remind me to keep it, or Dismiss if the date doesn't matter.

Reminders screen with two suggestions to confirm, each with Remind me and Dismiss, one reminder this week and one later

Noodle only looks for dates in your own things: notes, voice notes, photos, videos and PDFs. It doesn't look in YouTube videos, Instagram posts or web articles.

Ask for a reminder in a note

Write or say "remind me to return the library books on Saturday" in a note or voice note. Noodle sets a reminder called "Return the library books" for Saturday without asking. This works even with date finding turned off.

Add a reminder to any save

  1. Open the save.
  2. Tap ⋯ at the top, then Add reminder.
  3. Pick Tomorrow, Next week or In a month, or Pick a date…. Tap Add a time if you want one.
  4. Tap Save.

Snooze, edit or finish a reminder

On the Reminders screen, tap a reminder to open its save, or tap the check mark to mark it done. Tap ⋯ next to it for more:

Button What it does
Snooze Puts it off by 1 hour, 1 day or 1 week
Edit Changes the date, the time, or when you're told
Open item Opens the save it belongs to
Delete Removes the reminder (the save stays)

When a reminder's notification arrives, tapping it opens the save. Its Done and Snooze buttons open Noodle to finish the job.

Change when you're reminded

Go to Settings → Reminders:

Reminders settings with Find dates in new items on, 9 AM chosen as the reminder time, and 30 days, 7 days and On the day chosen

  • Find dates in new items turns the date spotting on or off. "Remind me" and reminders you add still work.
  • Reminder time is the hour reminders without a time arrive (9 AM unless you change it).
  • Before a deadline sets how early you hear about expiry, due and renewal dates: 30 days, 7 days and on the day unless you change it.

The first time you set a reminder, Noodle asks to allow notifications. Without them, reminders can't tell you anything, and the Reminders screen shows a Turn on button.
