calendar reminder

Event time prompt

A calendar reminder is a notification set to alert you before an event or deadline.

Most digital calendars let you configure when the reminder appears—minutes, hours, or days in advance: I set a calendar reminder for fifteen minutes before the meeting.

The reminder typically pops up on your phone or computer, helping you not forget appointments, birthdays, or tasks.
