Turn on notifications on your phone
A reminder you asked for is only useful if it reaches you. Aligned doesn't ask to send notifications the moment you open it — it waits until you've finished something, then offers. Say yes, and your phone asks for its own permission.
1/4 · Ask Aligned for something and let it finish
Good to know
- Each card asks only once — No thanks puts it away for good. Saying no to the first card doesn't stop the Finish tomorrow and daily-brief cards from asking.
- Nothing pops up over the app while it's open in front of you. Notifications arrive when you're somewhere else.
- On a computer, the bell at the top-right of Aligned lists your recent notifications, so you can check whether you missed one. Phones don't have the bell.
If it’s not working
I tapped Don't Allow on my iPhone
Your iPhone only asks once, and Aligned can't ask again from inside the app. Open your iPhone's Settings, scroll down to AlignedAI, tap Notifications and switch on Allow Notifications.
The card never showed up
It only appears inside the App Store or Google Play app, after a piece of work finishes, and only until you've answered it. If notifications are already on, it stays away. Look for AlignedAI in your phone's notification settings — if it's there and switched on, you're set. If not, set a draft to Finish tomorrow to be asked.
Notifications never arrive
Check three things: you're signed in to the app on that phone (notifications go to your account, so a signed-out phone gets nothing), AlignedAI is allowed to notify you in the phone's Settings, and you're not looking at the app when they're sent — they don't pop up over it.
I added Aligned to my home screen from Safari or Chrome
That shortcut looks like the app but can't receive notifications. Install AlignedAI from the App Store or Google Play and sign in there.
