# Choose how you get notified

> Turn email, in-app and push notifications on or off, and choose whether OKiDO reminds you of open and due tasks.

OKiDO lets you know when something needs you: a task assigned to you, a mention, an approval to give. You choose where those notifications reach you, and whether OKiDO also reminds you of tasks that are open or due.

## Choose your notification channels

1. Open the account menu (the person icon at the top right) and choose **Settings**.
2. Choose the **Preferences** tab.
3. Under **Notification Channels**, check the channels you want and clear the others:
   - **Push notifications**: alerts from your browser on your computer or phone, even when OKiDO is closed (see [Turn on push notifications](https://okido.io/en/docs/dashboard-inbox-search/turn-on-push-notifications.md)).
   - **Email notifications**: emails to the address you sign in with.
   - **In-app notifications**: notifications in your **Inbox**.

4. Choose **Save Preferences** at the bottom of the tab.

New notifications now arrive only through the channels you checked. With **In-app notifications** cleared, new notifications no longer appear in your inbox at all, so keep at least one channel on.

## Set your task reminders

1. On the **Preferences** tab, under **Task reminders**, check **Outstanding & due task reminders** to get reminders of your open and due tasks, or clear it to stop them.

2. Choose **Save Preferences**.

Reminders come through the channels you checked above, and only on your working days, within your working hours. Set those on your profile (see [Update your profile and working hours](https://okido.io/en/docs/account/update-your-profile.md)).
