Turn on notifications and discreet mode

How to enable alerts, choose which categories you receive, and make sure your lock screen shows neither the module nor anyone's name.

Reviewed on

Notifications are what make a dynamic work: a check requested with a deadline, or a task about to expire, are useless if you find out the next day.

Turning them on

  1. Go to Settings → Notifications.
  2. Press «Turn on notifications» and accept the browser permission.
  3. You will see «Notifications enabled on this device».

The permission is per device: if you use a phone and a computer, enable it on both.

On iPhone: first install the app on your home screen and open it from that icon. Safari does not allow web notifications any other way.

Choosing what you get

Below, under «What you want to receive», you switch categories on and off:

Emergency and safety alerts are always sent, whatever you have configured.

Discreet mode

This is the setting people appreciate most. With discreet mode on, alerts arrive with no module and no name: your lock screen only reads «You have a notification».

Nobody glancing over your shoulder learns what it is about. Open the app and you see the full detail.

Turning them off on one device

Same screen, «Turn off on this device». It stops there without affecting the others.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly shows on my lock screen?

With discreet mode on, only «You have a notification». No module, no name, no content. With it off, you see what it is about (new message, task assigned, check requested…).

I turned notifications on and nothing arrives on my iPhone.

On iPhone, web notifications only work if you installed the app on your home screen and open it from that icon. Install it first, then enable them again.

I blocked notifications by mistake. How do I undo it?

Once blocked, the permission is controlled by the browser, not the app. Re-enable it in your browser settings for this site and press «Turn on notifications» again.

Can I mute everything except what matters?

Yes: switch off the categories you do not care about. Emergency and safety alerts are always sent, regardless of your preferences.
