hi @SherifOmran

you can do that rather easy in android, using a background process, see this blog post of KDAB for a working example:

On iOS, that's a different matter, you'll actually have to request permission from Apple for that. Once you have that, I'm unsure how to proceed from there. You'll have to do it in native Objective-C code as there's definitely no Qt API for it

Hi,

To add to @J-Hilk , iOS and Android both have calendar API that allows to setup reminders that will show notifications. Is that kind of reminder what you are looking for ?

@SGaist : yes these types of reminders what i am looking for, but which api is it? do you have a working example for it?

thank you

Not directly but you have this stack overflow answer that covers the iOS API in Objective-C and for Android, there's an example in the QtAndroidExtras module.
