Notifications and your Rhythms

Your wake/sleep schedule, notification preferences, and the Rhythms view of your day and week of touchpoints.

Almost everything Blue does proactively — the good-morning message, daily guidance, reviews, reminders — is timed against your clock. That clock, and how Blue reaches you, live in two places: your schedule and your notification preferences. The Rhythms view then shows you the result.

Your schedule

You set your wake time, bed time, and timezone during onboarding, and you can change them any time in Profile settings. You can also pick a 12-hour or 24-hour clock.

These aren't cosmetic. Your wake time is the anchor Blue builds the day around — the good-morning message lands at wake time, and your Today guidance about an hour after. If your mornings shift, update your wake time and Blue's whole rhythm follows.

Notification preferences

In settings you can tune notifications by type — turning individual kinds of proactive touch on or off rather than all-or-nothing. Adjust these until Blue's presence feels right: enough to be useful, not so much it's noise.

One important, honest point about delivery: reminders and Blue's reactive replies go to your primary messenger — the one channel you nominate among Telegram, WhatsApp, and Discord. If you haven't connected a messenger, a reminder you set may have nowhere to go, because there's no email fallback for it. So if reminders matter to you, connect a messenger and set it as primary. (Reviews and daily guidance also arrive by email and in-app, so those reach you regardless.)

The Rhythms view

Rhythms is your day-and-week picture of every scheduled touchpoint in one place:

  • Rituals — Blue's wake and goodnight anchor messages.
  • Prompts — scheduled reflections, like an evening check-in.
  • Reminders — the nudges you or Blue set.
  • Reviews — your weekly-through-yearly retrospectives.
  • Your device calendar events, for context.

You can add and edit touchpoints here, and it's also where review preferences live. Rituals are Blue's own anchors — you can disable them if you'd rather not be greeted, but they aren't something you create or delete piece by piece.

Finding Rhythms on the web

Worth spelling out, because it's easy to miss: on the web portal, Rhythms has no navigation tab. You reach it through the centerpiece in the page header — the element at the top center of the portal — rather than the side navigation. On the mobile app it's more discoverable, opening as its own screen. If you've been hunting for Rhythms on the web and coming up empty, that header centerpiece is the door.

Rhythms is on every plan

Your schedule, notification preferences, and the Rhythms view are all Free — available on every plan. What flows through them (like Today, or reviews) is tiered, but the controls themselves are always yours.
