Subtle alarms
Some applications provide a visual, and optionally audible indication, but
do not otherwise disrupt your work flow. Subtle alarms do not display a
Reminders screen. Instead, a blinking indicator will flash in the upper left
corner of the title bar (of applications that allow it) when an alarm is
present.
Understanding the blinking alarm indicator
A blinking alarm indicator appears in the upper left corner of the screen in
the menu bar (of applications that allow it) under the following conditions:
While viewing a Reminders dialog screen, you tap the Done or the
Snooze button
A subtle alarm is present
The indicator appears in three different states:
Off: The indicator is not shown at all when the list is empty.
Blinking, two states: When the list is not empty but there are no
new items, then the “star” indicator will blink on and off until the
list has been emptied.
Blinking, three states: When a new subtle alarm is received, the
star will alternate flashing solid, exploded, then off, until you view
the new event.
Tapping on the indicator opens the Attention Manager in list mode, even if
there is only one item.
