The Reminders list screen displays three buttons that are used to respond to all of the items in the list:

	time interval, the Reminders list screen is displayed again. You
	can go directly to the Reminders list screen without waiting, by
	tapping the blinking alarm indicator.
Done	If the Reminders list appeared because of more than one
	insistent alarm, tapping Done closes the Reminders list screen,
	although the events will remain in the application that created
	them. The Reminders list screen will not appear again, unless you
	tap the blinking alarm indicator in the menu bar.
	If the Reminders list appeared after you tapped the Snooze
	button, then tapped the blinking alarm indicator, then tapped
	the Done button, thereminder continue to snooze.
Clear All	Removes all the items from the list, but does not close the
	Reminders screen. Tap this button to erase a list of events that
	have passed.

Subtle alarms

Some applications provide a visual, and an optional audible indication, but do not otherwise disrupt your workflow. Subtle alarms do not display a Reminders screen. Instead, a blinking indicator will flash in the upper left corner of the title bar (in applications that allow it) when an alarm is activated.

Understanding the blinking alarm indicator

A blinking alarm indicator appears in the upper left corner of the screen in the menu bar (in 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 and there are no new items, the “star” indicator will blink on and off until the list has been emptied.
