Notifications

Configure email, in-app, and push notifications

Notifications

Stay on top of your schedule with customizable notifications. Samvise can notify you by email, inside the app, and with push notifications in the iOS app.

Notification Channels

Email: task reminders, due-today and overdue alerts, and the weekly digest, sent to your account email from notifications@samvise.io.

In-app: notifications appear in the app's notification center.

Push (iOS app): push notifications are available in the iOS app when you allow notifications for Samvise on your device. There is no push switch inside Samvise. Turn push notifications off in your iPhone's Settings > Notifications > Samvise. Samvise does not send browser push notifications.

Turn email and in-app on or off independently in Settings > Notifications.

Notification Types

Each type can be toggled individually:

Task Reminders

  • A reminder ahead of a task's due date, for tasks that have one
  • Lead time is configurable: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 1 day before the due date
  • Reminders can arrive up to that far ahead; the exact delivery time can vary

Due Today

  • A daily heads-up about tasks due today

Overdue Alerts

  • A daily reminder about tasks past their due date

Weekly Digest

  • A weekly recap of the past week and a look at the week ahead

Quiet Hours

Don't disturb during set times:

  1. Settings > Notifications > Quiet hours
  2. Toggle quiet hours on
  3. Set a start time (e.g., 10 PM) and end time (e.g., 8 AM)

Quiet hours use the timezone in your settings.

During quiet hours, Samvise pauses push notifications and email. In-app notifications still appear in the notification center, so nothing is lost, and a reminder that is still relevant when quiet hours end may be sent then.

Troubleshooting

Not Receiving Emails

Check the channel toggle

  • Settings > Notifications: verify email notifications are on
  • Verify the specific notification type is enabled

Check your spam folder

  • Emails may be filtered as spam
  • Add notifications@samvise.io to your contacts and mark as "Not Spam"

Check quiet hours

  • Push notifications and email are paused during quiet hours

Not Receiving Push Notifications (iOS)

  • Check Samvise is allowed in your iPhone's Settings > Notifications
  • Check quiet hours: push notifications are paused during quiet hours
  • Check the notification type is on in Settings > Notifications

Too Many Notifications

  • Disable notification types you don't need
  • Use quiet hours for sleep and focus time
  • Adjust the reminder lead time to suit your workflow

Best Practices

  • Start conservative: enable only essential notifications, add more as needed
  • Use quiet hours: protect your sleep and focus time
  • Review occasionally: adjust settings as your workflow changes
