What is Notiwise?

Notiwise is your smart calendar assistant that automatically sets perfect reminders based on how important your events are. Add a simple tag to your event, and Notiwise does the rest.

Example: Tag your event Project Deadline @@ and get 6 reminders starting 4 weeks before. Tag it Coffee Chat # and get just 2 reminders.

Step 1: Install Notiwise (2 minutes)

Visit the installation page:
- Install Notiwise
Click “Authorize access”
- Select your Google account
- Review the permissions
- Click “Allow”
Done! Notiwise is now installed.

Step 2: Quick Setup (2 minutes)

After installation, you’ll see a welcome screen. Let’s do the minimum setup:

Choose Your Calendars

Check the boxes next to calendars you want Notiwise to monitor:

✅ Your main calendar
✅ Work calendar (if you have one)
⬜ Skip others for now (you can add them later)

Click “Save Configuration”.

Use Default Settings

For now, skip customization:

Priority tags: Use the defaults (@@, @, !!, !, ##, #)
Reminder times: Use the defaults (morning, midday, afternoon)

You can customize these anytime in Getting Started.

Click “Save All Settings” to finish setup!

Step 3: Add Your First Priority Tag (1 minute)

Now let’s see Notiwise in action!

Create a Test Event

Open Google Calendar
Create a new event:
- Title: Team Meeting !!
- Date: Tomorrow
- Time: 10:00 AM
Save the event

What Happens Next

Notiwise will:

Detect the !! tag (Medium Prep priority)
Add smart reminders (1 week, 3 days, 1 day, 1 hour before)
Remove the tag from your title (so it looks clean: “Team Meeting”)

Check back in a few seconds - open your event and you’ll see the reminders added!

Understanding Priority Tags

Here’s your quick reference:

Tag	Priority	When to Use	Reminders Added
`@@`	High Major	Critical meetings, major deadlines	6 reminders (4 weeks to 1 hour)
`@`	High Moderate	Important meetings, milestones	5 reminders (2 weeks to 30 min)
`!!`	Medium Prep	Events needing preparation	4 reminders (1 week to 1 hour)
`!`	Medium Minimal	Regular meetings	3 reminders (3 days to 1 hour)
`##`	Low Some Prep	Casual meetings	3 reminders (5 days to 30 min)
`#`	Low Minimal	Optional events	2 reminders (2 days to 1 hour)

That’s it! You’re now using Notiwise.
