Reminders & Notifications

How Reminders Work

Kwilio Bills Pro sends you a notification before each bill is due. The timing is based on how often the bill recurs — more frequent bills get shorter lead times, less frequent bills get longer ones:

Bill frequencyNotified
DailySame day it’s due
Weekly1 day before
Monthly3 days before
Yearly1 week before

Enabling Notifications

Before reminders can be sent, you need to grant notification permission:

  1. Go to Settings → Notifications
  2. If the status shows Not Authorised, tap Open Notification Settings
  3. Enable notifications for Kwilio Bills Pro in iOS/macOS Settings
  4. Return to the app — the status will update to Authorised

Turning on a Reminder for a Bill

Reminders are set per bill:

  1. Open the Bills tab and tap a bill (or create a new one)
  2. Tap Edit
  3. Toggle Reminder on
  4. Choose the time of day you want to be notified
  5. Tap Save

The reminder will fire automatically on each upcoming occurrence, based on the lead time table above.

Turning off a Reminder

  1. Open the bill and tap Edit
  2. Toggle Reminder off
  3. Tap Save

Any pending notifications for that bill are cancelled immediately.

Custom Reminder Time

When you enable a reminder, you can pick exactly what time of day the notification fires. Choose a time that fits your routine — first thing in the morning, at lunch, or in the evening.

Apple Intelligence — Intelligent Notifications

With Apple Intelligence enabled, Kwilio Bills Pro can send smarter, more personalised reminders based on your usage patterns. Rather than a fixed schedule, intelligent notifications can adapt to when you’re most likely to act on them.

To enable:

  1. Go to Settings → Apple Intelligence
  2. Toggle Apple Intelligence on
  3. Ensure Intelligent Notifications is listed as an active feature

Troubleshooting

I’m not receiving notifications

  • Check that notifications are authorised: Settings → Notifications
  • Make sure the individual bill has the Reminder toggle enabled
  • Check iOS/macOS Focus modes — they can suppress notifications from apps

Notifications are arriving at the wrong time

  • Open the bill, tap Edit, and verify the reminder time is set correctly
  • If you recently changed a bill’s recurrence, save it again to regenerate the notification schedule
