Notification Types

Weekly Memory Reminders

A gentle nudge once a week encouraging you to add a new memory. This is the most popular notification — it's enough to keep the habit alive without feeling pushy.

Best for: People who want a light, consistent reminder to record memories regularly.

Daily Reminders

A daily prompt to open the app and capture something. This is more frequent and works well during active memory-keeping periods — like when you're first getting started or during a family event.

Best for: New users building a habit, or anyone going through a season worth documenting.

Family Updates

Get notified when family members interact with your memories — for example, when someone adds a perspective or responds to a question you've posed.

Best for: Families who are actively using Memory Murals together.

Question and Prompt Alerts

Be notified when new Legacy prompts become available or when a family member sends you a question to answer.

Best for: Users who enjoy the Legacy prompts and don't want to miss new ones.

Referral Reward Alerts

Get notified when someone signs up through your referral link and you earn a free month of Premium.

Best for: Anyone actively sharing their referral link.

Start Simple

Not sure what to enable? Start with just Weekly Memory Reminders. It's the single best notification for building a consistent memory-keeping habit. You can always add more later.

Finding the Right Balance

Notifications should help, not annoy. Here are some guidelines:

Just starting out? Turn on daily reminders for your first two weeks, then switch to weekly
Already in a groove? Weekly reminders plus family updates is a great combination
Feeling overwhelmed? Turn everything off except weekly reminders — one gentle nudge is all you need
Using referrals? Keep referral alerts on so you know when you've earned a reward

You Won't Miss Anything

Turning off notifications doesn't affect your account or data. All your memories, prompts, and family activity are still there whenever you open the app. Notifications are simply reminders to visit.

Adjust your notifications anytime in Account > Notifications to find the rhythm that works for you.
