The single place to control what Bubsby is allowed to ping you about.

What this does

  • Master switch for all push notifications.
  • Per-category switches for reminders, birthdays, household updates, email summaries.
  • Quiet mode for set hours (e.g. overnight).
  • Overdue reminder style (gentle vs persistent).

When to use this

  • The first time you set up Bubsby.
  • When you're getting too many or too few notifications.
  • Before holidays or stretches when you want fewer interruptions.

How it works

  1. Open Settings → Notifications.
  2. Allow Notifications — master on/off.
  3. Categories — toggle each independently.
  4. Quiet mode — set a start and end time. Notifications during those hours wait.
  5. Overdue style — choose how persistent overdue reminders are.

Important things to know

  • If your phone has blocked Bubsby's notifications, you'll need to fix that in your device settings — Bubsby will tell you when this is the case.
  • Quiet mode delays — it doesn't drop. Held notifications fire when quiet ends.
  • Email summaries are a separate category from reminders.

Common questions

  • Why is a reminder I set not arriving? See Troubleshooting Reminders.
  • Will turning off notifications stop reminders from being saved? No — your reminders stay; they just don't ping. The bell badge still shows on item cards.
