Payment reminders and notifications

Updated 2026-11-07

Reminders are the heart of BillBuddy. They give you time to decide whether a subscription is still worth it before you are charged.

Turn reminders on

  1. Open Reminders from the menu.
  2. Switch reminders on.
  3. Choose when you want to be reminded. In the Android app you can pick 1, 3 or 7 days before a payment, or several of them.

Reminders are based on each subscription's next payment date, so keep those dates correct.

Allow notifications on Android

The first time you enable reminders, Android asks whether BillBuddy may send notifications. Tap Allow. If you said no by mistake:

  1. Open your phone's Settings → Apps → BillBuddy.
  2. Tap Notifications and turn them on.

Not getting reminders?

  • Check that the subscription has a next payment date in the future.
  • Check that notifications are allowed for BillBuddy.
  • Some phones pause apps to save battery. Set BillBuddy to Unrestricted in the battery settings if reminders arrive late.

Still stuck? Email support.billbuddy@gmail.com.

Stop paying for subscriptions you forgot about.

Keep track of your subscriptions, with a reminder before every payment. Free plan available.
