Turn on notifications

In short: tick “Send notification” when creating or editing a routine or appointment, and accept push permissions when the app asks for them.

Before you start

Notifications aren't set in one central place, but turned on per routine or appointment, where relevant. Other features — like a chore awaiting approval, or a savings goal being reached — send their own notifications automatically, with nothing extra for you to turn on.

Step by step

1. Create or edit a routine or appointment

   Tick “Send notification” in the dialog.

2. Accept push permissions

   The first time the app (web app or iOS) asks, so messages can actually reach the device.

3. Get the reminder

   As a push message and/or email, as the routine or appointment approaches or starts.

Good advice

• Use notifications deliberately. On the routines and chores that actually tend to get forgotten — not on everything, to avoid “notification fatigue”.
• Turn on the push permission right away when the app asks. If you say no here, you'll usually need to turn it back on manually in the device's system settings.
• There's no combined notification history in the app today. If you miss a message at the moment it was sent, it can't be found again afterwards.

If a notification doesn't arrive

Check these two things:

1. Is the push permission turned on in the device's system settings?
2. Is “Send notification” actually ticked on the given routine or appointment?
