Does Quicken have pop-up reminders for upcoming bills anymore? (Q Mac)

Question

I'm using Quicken Classic Deluxe v8.3.3 on MacOS Tahoe.

I have several scheduled bills set up in Bills & Income. Right now, the only way I know I have upcoming bills is if I go to the Home screen, Bills & Income screen, or the related account's register.

Several years ago I distinctly remember having pop-ups announcing I have a bill payment due. The reminder would appear prominently, regardless of what Quicken screen I happened to be looking at. In other words, if I had a credit card payment due Quicken would notify me without having to go looking for the reminder.

I looked in the help topics and can only find instructions on how to enter a new bill reminder but there is no mention of an option to see it in a pop-up

@Joe Spagg  For what it's worth (not much!), there have not been pop-up reminders in Quicken Mac since the "modern" version was launched more than 11 years ago.

The old Quicken Mac 2007 had pop-up reminders as an option, I believe, although my memory is hazy because I never used them. So if that's what you're remembering, it was likely more than "several years ago". 😀

Hello @Joe Spagg,

Currently, Quicken for Mac (including Classic Deluxe v8.3.3) does not offer pop-up reminders for upcoming bills. Reminders are only visible within the Home screen, Bills & Income, or the related account register (if included in the Register settings).

If you’d like to see this feature added in the future, the best approach is to create an Idea Post. Other users can vote on it, and our Development and Product teams review these posts when considering new features.

I hope this helps clarify!
