What Brain in Hand notifications are there and how do I manage them?

Modified on Wed, 19 Mar at 11:31 AM

The Brain in Hand app has two types of reminders: diary event reminders and traffic light reminders. You can personalise these notifications by turning them on or off and adjusting how often you receive them.


Diary event reminders:

If you set reminders for your Brain in Hand diary events, you'll receive a notification at the time you choose. To add a reminder, open the event and select Add a reminder. You can set up to three reminders per event.


Traffic light reminders:

You can manage your Brain in Hand notification settings in the mobile app.


In the Android mobile app:

  • Tap the menu icon (☰) in the top left corner
  • Select Settings
  • In the Reminders section, toggle Traffic Light Reminders on or off
  • If your Traffic Light Reminders are on, you can set a Start Time, End Time, and the time interval for reminders between those times


In the iOS app:

  • Tap the Account icon (top right) to open the Account menu
  • Select Settings
  • In the Traffic Light Reminders section, toggle Traffic Light Reminders on or off
  • If the Traffic Light Reminders are on, you can set a Start Time, End Time, and the Remind me time interval for reminders between those times


Pausing reminders for the day

  • At any time, you can pause all Brain in Hand reminders until midnight. To learn more about how to do this on both Android and iOS, see our help centre article: How can I pause my notifications?
