Don't miss is only for must-dos. While you shape a plan, must-do cards have the same chip. If a task stops being a must-do, Don't miss turns off too.
You can have up to 3 a day. If you try a fourth, Brizemi says "You have 3 Don't-miss alarms today" and asks you to turn one off. A task with an alarm doesn't get its regular notification; the alarm takes its place.
The alarm rings with sound and can be snoozed for 10 minutes. iPhone has no vibrate-only option for it. When you stop it, one notification follows: Done, In 1 hour or Look in Rescue.
If Rescue moves the task, the alarm moves with it. Even on a day with a status such as Sick, Don't-miss alarms still ring; the status sheet tells you and lets you turn them off. Alarms are set in your phone's own alarm system and stay on this device. You'll find today's and tomorrow's in Settings → Notifications → Don't miss.
Without Pro, the Don't miss chip shows what Pro adds; must-dos' regular notifications always stay free.
