## Recurring & Reminders

### How Recurring Resets Work
1. Configuration is stored in `input_text.jottick_recurring_configs`
2. An automation checks every minute if any reset is due
3. When triggered, all items are unchecked (checklists) or set to "todo" (tasks)

### How Reminders Work
1. Configuration is stored in `input_text.jottick_reminder_configs`
2. An automation checks at the configured interval
3. If unchecked/incomplete items remain during active hours, a notification is sent

### Preset Times
| Preset | Time(s) |
|--------|---------|
| Morning | 06:00 |
| Noon | 12:00 |
| Evening | 18:00 |
| Night | 21:00 |
| Midnight | 00:00 |
| Morning + Evening | 06:00, 18:00 |
| Three Times Daily | 08:00, 13:00, 20:00 |
| Every 6 Hours | 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, 18:00 |

## Credit where credit is due

Thank you to the creator of [Jotty](https://github.com/fccview/jotty) that started my journey into notes, lists and tasks. I also have a plugin that integrates Jotty with Home Assistant [Here](https://github.com/gelatinescreams/HA-HACS-Notes-and-Lists-Jotty-integration) and uses the same core features as this one.
