Android notification permission and permission for precise scheduling answer different questions. A task can be saved while the device still restricts exactly when its alert may be delivered.
Permission makes a delivery path possible; it does not guarantee an alert under every device condition.
Enable only the access you need
Allow notifications so the app may show alerts. For precise reminders, inspect the separate exact-alarm setting when the app and Android version offer it. The app uses approximate scheduling when precise access is unavailable; permission does not turn OneTap into a critical alarm service.
Check with a small local example
Use one existing task with a near-future review and observe how the device behaves. Avoid scheduling a large number of duplicates as a test. Also inspect battery policies, sound and Do Not Disturb settings when a reminder behaves differently from your expectation.
Keep the task and its review separate
When checking Android timing, distinguish a visible notification from the precision of its delivery. Note the reviewed scheduled time and observe the actual device instead of assuming a task-save confirmation proves exact timing. If precise access is unavailable, keep that approximate behavior in mind when choosing tasks for the app. Use a harmless local reminder for setup checks rather than an important obligation as your first experiment. If another setting changes later, such as quiet mode, inspect it separately. The result should help you understand this phone’s current reminder path, not create a claim that the app can override every Android power, notification or scheduling decision.

A little reference.
Keep the context and your next action together.
| Choice | Use it for | Check before saving |
|---|---|---|
| Notifications | Allow visible alerts | A system permission |
| Precise scheduling | Closer timing when supported | Separate optional access |
| Approximate fallback | Timing without exact permission | Delivery may vary |
Will denying precise scheduling delete my tasks?
No. The task remains saved and the app can use approximate scheduling when exact access is unavailable.
