Notifications

What notifies you

• Your reminders, when they come due.
• Your requests addressed with @, when one asks a question, replies or needs attention.
• New notes from other people in places shared with you, and from connections set to notify you.
• On Free, notes waiting in your Inbox.

Edits, renames, moves, status changes, invitations and your own notes never notify you. While you work in ThreadPage on one device, your other devices stay quiet.

Mute and quiet hours

Mute thread or Mute folder stops notifications about what others add. You’ll find them in the menu wherever others can add notes: places shared with you, threads that get notes from a connection set to notify you, and your Inbox on Free. Reminders and your own requests still notify you.

Quiet hours in Settings → Notifications hold everything except reminders until they end; what waited then arrives silently, one per thread. Focus and Do Not Disturb on your device apply on top.

Allow notifications in your browser

If your browser blocks notifications from ThreadPage, allow them for thread.page, then turn them on again in Settings → Notifications.

Chrome

Click the icon to the left of the address, choose Site settings and set Notifications to Allow.

Edge

Click the icon to the left of the address, choose Permissions for this site and set Notifications to Allow.

Firefox

Click the icon to the left of the address and remove Blocked next to Send notifications. Then reload the page.

Safari on Mac

Choose Safari → Settings → Websites → Notifications and set thread.page to Allow.

iPhone and iPad

Notifications need ThreadPage on your Home Screen. In Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Open ThreadPage from the Home Screen, sign in and turn notifications on in Settings → Notifications.

If you turned them off later, allow them in the device’s Settings → Notifications → ThreadPage.

Notifications are on, but none appear

Your computer may be holding them back. On a Mac, open System Settings → Notifications, choose your browser and turn on Allow notifications. On Windows, open Settings → System → Notifications and turn notifications on for your browser. Focus and Do Not Disturb hide them while they’re on.

Where they arrive

With Pro, notifications reach every browser where you turned them on, except while you’re working in ThreadPage on another one.

On Free, a reminder reaches the browser that holds its thread. Places shared with you notify every browser where notifications are on.

Without an account, reminders show only while ThreadPage is open.

A browser on a computer must be running to receive notifications, except Safari on Mac and Edge on Windows. Chrome and Firefox keep a reminder for a day and show it when they start.
