Notifications & Emails

GapFix notifications are designed to be genuinely useful and deliberately rare. The goal is a nudge that arrives when you'd actually learn — not a stream of guilt.

Smart timing

Reminders are tuned to when you actually learn. If you usually do your lesson with morning coffee, that's when GapFix nudges you — not at some generic hour picked for everyone. The more you learn, the better the timing gets.

Streak-at-risk alerts

If the day is winding down and you haven't done anything that counts — no lesson, no Booster, no Daily Practice — GapFix sends an evening heads-up so a streak you've built doesn't slip away by accident. Two minutes in the Daily Practice is all it takes to answer it.

A hard cap on nudges

If you've been away, GapFix will try to win you back — but never with a flood. Re-engagement notifications are capped at 2 per day, full stop.

Controlling notifications

You're in charge on two levels:

  • In the app: adjust your notification preferences in Settings.
  • At the system level: iOS Settings → Notifications → GapFix controls whether GapFix can notify you at all, plus banners, sounds, and badges.

If notifications aren't arriving when you expect, the system level is the first place to look — a Focus mode or a disabled permission is the usual culprit.

Prefer no notifications at all?

That works too. Add the GapFix home-screen or lock-screen widgets and your streak and progress are visible at a glance — a standing, silent reminder. The widgets deep-link straight into the Daily Practice.

What about emails?

GapFix is light on email by design. Since the app starts anonymously, we don't even have an email address for you unless you've created an account. When you have one, email is used for account essentials — like password reset links if you signed up with email. Your progress summaries live in the app: the Weekly Recap (and its monthly cousin) is where your week's learning gets rolled up.
