Open Settings → Notifications to choose the reminders and alerts that fit your work.
Notification options can include reading and deadline reminders, campaign activity, and other account events. Timing uses your configured timezone and notification preferences.
Read notification history
On a phone, the notification bell opens the full Quiet Inbox. On web and tablet, the bell opens the same calm feed in a compact dropdown. The full message is visible in every notification row, so you can understand an update before opening anything.
Use Search notifications to find words in a title or message. Choose Filter to open every category in one clear grid, including unread items, conversations, books and plans, requests and teams, ARC Library updates, praise, and ARChie notes. There is no sideways category list to scroll.
Select a notification to mark it read and reveal delivery details plus one useful action. That action opens the related book, due-soon list, application, offer, team, conversation, update, plan, report, or workspace. A team-removal notice stays readable in the inbox and its action opens your remaining teams.
On phone and tablet pages, details open in a safe bottom sheet. On desktop and in the bell dropdown, they open only after selection in a temporary side drawer. Closing details returns you to the same place in the feed. Choose Open full Notification Center from the dropdown when you want the larger view.
A praise notification's Open keepsake action closes the detail view and takes you straight to the Praise category.
Reading Intentions can add one gentle request-cap nudge for a month after you move past your chosen cap. Praise that depends on Library counts waits for your real shelf to finish loading, so startup and sync do not turn a temporary empty list into a win.
Native push delivery also depends on device permission and the notification settings provided by Android or iOS.
If an expected push is missing, first check the in-app notification history. Then check ARC Library notification preferences, device permission, and whether the device is online.
