**Actual implementation** : An alarm is set for a todo item and at alarm time a notification appears at android notification area as list item. If i tab on the joplin notification list item, the app opens, but only in general.

**Improvement** : If i tab on the notification for a specific todo item joplin should start and open that specific todo item (view mode) instead of open only the app itself.

System:

- Android 7.1.2.
- Joplin Verison 1.0.131 (installed by google play store)

Am i the only user of joplin, who uses the joplin todo alarms? Isn’t it uncomfortable, to manually search the todo item, the alarm was set for?

Or did i descripe my suggestion not good enough? Please have a look to that. I retested this with V1.0.252 without success.

This is indeed a limitation of the app. If someone can figure out how to do that, I’ll accept a pull request.

@laurent I also miss that very much, especially with many simultaneous memories, I thought that would be a bug. Perhaps it would be temporarily possible all “entries” that have an alarm to “bundle” in one place?
