neurolist uses notifications for three things:
- Voice reminders during focus mode — set per task (see → "focus mode, smart timers, and voice reminders" for how to enable them on a specific task).
- The daily planning reminder — a once-a-day nudge to open neurolist and plan your day.
- Trial / subscription updates (e.g. "your free trial is ending soon").
If you said no to notifications during onboarding, none of these will fire.
Turning notifications on
- iOS: Settings → Notifications → neurolist → toggle "Allow Notifications" on.
- Android: Settings → Apps → neurolist → Notifications → enable.
Then re-open neurolist once. That wakes the scheduler.
Changing the daily reminder
In neurolist's settings, look for change 'plan your day' reminder and pick a time.
Building a daily ritual of opening neurolist tends to be the single biggest predictor of whether the app actually helps. If 8 am feels wrong, try whenever you usually pour your first coffee.
Why does the app need notification permission?
Without it, voice reminders for your active task can't fire — which removes about half of what makes focus mode work. Nothing notification-related runs unless you grant permission.
Reminders aren't firing at all
