Today Planned can refresh alarms automatically in the foreground and in the background, so it is built to stay current without extra daily work from you. If you want even more control, you can also use a Shortcuts automation to trigger a refresh at a specific time each day. For most people, setup is choosing the calendars and rules they want once, then letting the app keep things current.

Today Planned is built to notice schedule changes and reflect them through the app, widgets, and Live Activity so your alarms stay aligned with your real day. If something changed recently and you want to confirm it immediately, opening the app refreshes everything right away.
