A CLEARER VIEW
Search your plans, add notes, and reschedule or complete local items. Enable Chrome popup reminders, system banners, or both under Settings → General.

Reminder channels are off by default. Chrome must be running to deliver NextDue reminders. System banners follow your device’s notification settings. Connected Google Calendar events use Google’s own alerts by default.
OPTIONAL GOOGLE CALENDAR
To connect, open the NextDue dashboard → Calendar settings and choose Connect. Choose which calendars to display and a writable calendar under Save Quick Add events to. Your primary calendar is the initial destination; shared calendars where you have write access are supported too.
Once connected, new Quick Add entries save to that chosen calendar, including repeating entries. See upcoming events in a list, Month view or Week view, and create events from the Calendar view. Editing existing Google events opens Google Calendar.
Date-only Quick Add entries are all day unless you enable a default time. Timed entries without a range or duration last 30 minutes. Without a connection, Quick Add keeps plans local to this Chrome profile. Existing local items stay local when edited.
