[Feature Request]: task reminder functionality for pages and databases

[NorkzYT]

Description

A built-in reminder feature that works in both pages and databases. This feature would allow users:

• Insert a date and time in a page or database record and mark it as a reminder.
• Tag another user when creating a reminder (for example, “@Dahyun @remind next Tuesday 9 AM to review report”).
• See reminders turn red when they are due today or past due.
• Receive a visual indicator (a badge or icon) next to an “Inbox” or “Notifications” section.
• Get push notifications in the desktop and mobile apps at the reminder time.
• Fall back to an email notification if AFFiNE is not open when the reminder fires.

This should behave similarly to how Notion handles reminders (see https://www.notion.com/help/reminders), although work inside both pages and database entries.

I would like to know your thoughts on this.
How would the team want this feature to be implemented?

Use case

An example use case would be:

A project manager sets a reminder in a team meeting page: “@Nayeon @remind Friday 4 PM to finalize budget.” At 4 PM, AFFiNE shows a red badge next to the inbox and sends a desktop push notification. If Nayeon is offline, she receives a mobile push within five minutes or an email if AFFiNE is closed.

A product designer adds a “Launch Plan” record in a database with a “Release Date” field. They check “Set Reminder” and choose one week before launch. AFFiNE then triggers a notification to the designer and any collaborators at the chosen time that are assigned to the task.

Anyone who tracks deadlines, assigns tasks, or collaborates on documents can use this feature. It helps individuals remember key dates and helps teams coordinate deliverables without needing a separate task app.

(Or needing to set alarms as I do).

Please, I really need the functionality of being able to set reminders and get a notification on pc and smartphone. It would also be good to be able to customise the notification (the sound,the duration, or something like that). Thank you very much for your work.

Not sure why this isn't higher in request list, I use reminders all the time in Notion, would be great to have them in here.
