Notification Settings

Everything ClapDiet can send you, under Settings > Notifications.

Some switches on that screen do not send anything yet. They are listed here as

plainly as the ones that do, because a reminder you are relying on and never

receive is worse than one you were never offered.

What ClapDiet actually sends

Meal reminders

A reminder at the times you choose to log a meal. Turn the switch on and pick

the times; they run in your account's timezone, so they follow you when you

travel rather than firing at the old local time.

Water reminders

The same, for hydration.

Weekly summary

A digest of your week — what you logged, how it compared with your targets, and

what changed. It arrives by email as well as push, and this switch governs both.

Critical health alerts

The important one. If a lab result you upload is critically out of range, or a

medication you have listed interacts critically with something else on your

record, ClapDiet alerts you.

You can turn the push off. The alert is still written to your in-app

notifications either way, so turning it off means you will not be interrupted,

not that you will not be told. If you have never touched this switch it is on.

Quiet hours also hold a critical alert's push until quiet hours end — the

in-app alert is there the whole time.

Switches that do not send anything yet

These appear on the screen and remember what you set. Nothing reads them:

Lab reminders — no reminder is sent when a lab is due

Fasting alerts — nothing is sent at the start or end of a fast

Daily summary — there is no daily digest

We have left them visible rather than removing them because each is planned.

Until one of them starts sending, treat it as off.

Quiet hours

Set a start and an end and ClapDiet sends no push between them. They are hours

rather than minutes — set 22:00 and 07:00, not 22:30.

Both bounds have to be set for quiet hours to apply.

Setting the same hour for both turns quiet hours off rather than silencing the

whole day.

The bounds are read in your account's timezone.

Nothing is lost during quiet hours. Anything held is in your in-app

notifications, and a push follows once they end.

Push and email

Two switches at the top govern everything below them:

Push notifications — off means this handset receives nothing. It is

per-device, so silencing your phone leaves your tablet alone.

Email notifications — off means no email, including the weekly summary.

Your phone's own settings

ClapDiet cannot send you anything your phone has not allowed.

iOS: Settings > ClapDiet > Notifications

Android: Settings > Apps > ClapDiet > Notifications. On Android 13 and

later you are asked once, when the app first wants to notify you.

If you declined, the in-app switches change nothing until you grant it back.

ClapDiet also respects Focus modes on iOS and Do Not Disturb on Android, and

does not ask to override either.

Not receiving something

Check the switch for that specific thing is on — and check the list above,

since three of them send nothing yet.

Check notification permission in your phone's settings.

Check quiet hours are not covering the time you expected it.

On Android, check battery optimisation is not restricting ClapDiet:

- Android: Settings > Apps > ClapDiet > Battery

Check the timezone on your profile, since reminder times are read in it.
