Notifications

Study-Track can send push notifications to remind you about upcoming deadlines, protect your streak, and keep you connected with friends. All notifications are optional and individually configurable.

Enabling notifications

The first time you open Study-Track you'll be asked whether to allow notifications. If you skipped that, you can enable them at any point:

  1. Go to Settings → Notifications
  2. Toggle Enable notifications on
  3. Your browser or device will prompt for permission: tap Allow
Browser vs native app

On a browser, notifications arrive as browser push notifications. In the native iOS or Android app, they arrive as standard system notifications. The settings are the same either way.

Notification types

TypeWhen it fires
Deadline reminder9 AM the day before a deadline is due
Streak at risk8 PM if you haven't studied yet that day
Achievement unlockedWhen you earn a new badge
Friend requestWhen someone sends you a friend request
Friend pingWhen a friend sends you an encouragement ping

Turning off individual notifications

You don't need to disable all notifications to silence one type. Go to Settings → Notifications and toggle each type independently.

For example, you can keep deadline reminders on while turning off friend pings.

Disabling all notifications

Toggle Enable notifications off in Settings → Notifications. This pauses all Study-Track notifications without revoking device/browser permission: so you can re-enable them at any time with a single tap.

To permanently revoke permission, use your device's system settings or browser site settings.

Streak protection tip

The streak-at-risk reminder at 8 PM is one of the most useful notifications: it gives you two hours to log even a short session before midnight. We recommend keeping it on if you want to maintain a long streak.
