How to completely disactivate reminders pop up on desktop version (computer, not mobile)

[thomas COQUEREAU]

Hi,

I love MLO but one thing annoys me a lot.

I constantly set up little reminders with my phone from MLO mobile version (android).

Then obviously these reminders are synced to my desktop version (windows 10) and it triggers a pop up, constantly disturbing my work (+ freezing windows task bar...).

The fact is I would like these reminders to pop up on my mobile only and be silent on my computer. I tried to modify the default reminder action on my computer (pointing towards a blank file for instance), but if the reminder is set from mobile, then it's the regular pop up reminder that will be set on desktop.

It annoys me a lot and maybe there is a registry hack or something off the books that I could implement to purely disactivate pop up reminders on desktop, while keeping them on mobile.

Any hint / solution would be highly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your help and time,

Thomas

I need that feature too. Just a local setting "Disable all reminders on this device only" sort of thing

It was also be good to have a time option here too: disable for 30
mins, 1 hour, 2 hours, ..., Indefinitely - so that you don't get
reminders popping up in presentations and screen share sessions.

Long standing request of mine.

I agree.  I voiced this same complaint awhile ago.

And I don’t agree with workarounds.  For apps nowadays, I feel the best practice is:

 

SUGGESTED IMPLEMENTION:

Checkbox: Allow reminders on this device Y/N

 

You uncheck it, and voila, no reminders.

You check it, and your reminders come to life again.

Hey MLO team,

Now this email is addressed to you.

Since the community cannot solve this "disactivate desktop reminders" problem, and some people showed interest in the feature, could you please acknowledge it. I mean just telling us that you heard the request and whether it is something you consider adding or not. Otherwise, it is just another dead message in a bottle

Thank you for your time

Thomas

[b.ca...@gmail.com]

Agreed!

[Andrey Tkachuk (MLO)]

> I mean just telling us that you heard the request

Yes I heard the request, thank you! I thought about this feature myself and the preliminary idea is to have 3 reminder modes on desktop:

1. Normal - reminders work normally as it is now.

2. Inactive - remindes do not disturb you but if there is a reminder there will be an noticable icon in the staus bar. If you click it - you see the active reminders. Inactive mode could be set for N min/h or forever.

3. Disabled - no reminders and no icon in status bar about it.

Just an idea.

As to the hack you can try to disable reminder syncing completely:

In MLO5:

Menu: Syncronization->Configuration->MLO Cloud->Advanced->Do not sync reminders.

If you check it then setting reminder on one device should not set it on other device after the cloud sync. 

I personally did not check it after the time it was intially implemented so please let me know if it works for you as expected.

Thanks,

Andrey.

Item 2. Addresses my specific request (and I like the idea of a flag
on the MLO icon on the task if there are active reminders). Could
clicking on this, open the reminder window?

Also, could the right click menu on the icon have a Reminders option
with sub-options
* Activate
* Deactivate....
* 1 hour
* 2 hours
* 1 day
* Indefinitely
* Disable


Thanks, Andrey
