Why do announcements stop after I force-quit the app?

Background spoken announcements require the app to remain running. If you swipe the app away from the app switcher, speech stops. Already scheduled notifications can still appear, subject to system settings and scheduling coverage. Reopen the app to refresh high-frequency reminders.

Why does the app ask for notifications?

Notification permission is used for lock-screen reminder delivery and the stop action. Without it, the app can still speak in the foreground, but lock-screen alerts are limited.

Why can battery usage increase?

When background announcements are enabled, the app keeps an active audio session so it can continue scheduled speech after you minimize the app or lock the device.

How do I include the current time in the reminder?

Add {time} to your announcement template. The app replaces it with the current time whenever the reminder is spoken.
