TodoMode can notify you via:

• Email — a reminder email is sent when the time arrives (enabled by default)
• Push notifications — browser popup notifications that appear even when you're not on the TodoMode tab, similar to Slack or chat notifications

Configure your preferences in Profile → Notification Preferences. You can enable one, both, or neither.

Go to Profile → Notification Preferences and enable "Push notifications." Your browser will ask for permission to show notifications. Push notifications work best when TodoMode is installed as a PWA (Add to Home Screen on mobile, or install via the browser address bar on desktop).

Note for iOS: Push notifications require iOS 16.4+ and TodoMode must be installed as a PWA via "Add to Home Screen" in Safari.

Security is our priority. We use:

• HTTPS/TLS encryption for all connections
• Argon2ID password hashing

• Regular security audits
• Optional two-factor authentication (2FA)

Go to Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.) and enter the verification code to enable 2FA.

Yes. Go to Settings → Account → Delete Account. This permanently deletes all your data within 30 days. Make sure to export your data first if you want to keep it.
