Notifications, explained
Last night's sleep score and recovery at your wake-up, a nudge to log each meal that skips itself once you have, and a check-in at bedtime. All free, made on your phone, and each one yours to move or switch off.

Each one follows your sleep schedule or your own habits, and stays quiet when it has nothing to say.
At your wake-up: "Good morning — Sleep 92 · Excellent", then time asleep against your usual and today's recovery when there is one. With Apple Health on, it waits up to 45 minutes for last night to arrive; if it doesn't, a plain good morning comes instead. One a day, and none if you're already in the app looking at your score.
"Log breakfast? Same as last time? Oatmeal + Coffee." Once Fullday knows when you usually log a meal (four days in four weeks), the nudge comes half an hour after, so only when you're running late. Skipped once that meal is logged, and while a fast is running.
A wind-down reminder before each bedtime on your schedule, "In bed by 10:30 PM · alarm 6:30 AM", and at bedtime "How was today?". Pick Great, Okay or Rough day from the notification, or Going to Bed to start the sleep timer. Skipped on days you've already checked in.
The morning comes at 7:00 AM and the check-in at 10:30 PM. Meals start at 8:00 AM, 12:30 PM and 6:30 PM until Fullday learns your times.
The morning asks "How did you sleep? Tap to check in." instead. If your watch stopped recording early, it says so rather than giving a score.
Log again adds that meal as you last had it, without opening the app, and never twice in a day. Open Eat goes straight to logging.
Knowing you should log meals and keep regular sleep is easy. Remembering at the right moment is the hard part.
Across 94 tests, "if it's this time, I'll do that" plans had a medium-to-large effect on reaching goals, helping most with getting started. Gollwitzer & Sheeran 2006.
In a review of 22 studies, keeping track of what you eat was consistently linked with weight loss, though the studies had real limits. Burke 2011.
Of 19 studies of regular prompts for diet, activity or weight, 11 found they helped, more so when frequent. Long-term effects weren't studied. Fry & Neff 2009.
In 60,977 adults wearing a wrist sensor, more regular sleep was linked with a 20–48% lower risk of death than the least regular, and predicted it better than sleep length. Windred 2024.
These are links and averages, not promises. Fullday is for general wellness, not a medical device.
In Fullday, open Me, then Notifications. Every notification Fullday sends is listed there with its own switch.
Good morning, each meal, the bedtime check-in and the wind-down reminder each have their own switch. Switching one off leaves the others alone.
Set your own time for the morning, each meal and the check-in, or put it back to following your schedule or your log.
When your wind-down routine starts, at bedtime, or 15, 30 or 60 minutes before. A nudge at each wind-down step is off until you turn it on, and arrives silently.
No meal or bedtime nudges on Saturday and Sunday. The morning still comes.
None of them comes until you allow notifications. They're informational, so a Focus can hold them back.
The only notification that mentions your cycle, "Period likely soon", is off until you turn it on, because its words show on the Lock Screen. On Android the same reminders and switches apply, each type with its own channel in Android's settings. See also the Sleep page and Eat page.
At the wake-up on your sleep schedule, or at a time you set. If last night is already in Apple Health, it comes then; if not, Fullday waits up to 45 minutes before sending a plain good morning. You get one a day.
No. Each meal's reminder is skipped once that meal is logged, on your phone or your watch, and none come while a fast is running.
Yes. Turn on Quiet weekends in Me → Notifications: no meal or bedtime nudges on Saturday and Sunday. The morning notification still comes.
No. The morning, meal, bedtime and wind-down reminders are free. Only the reminders to fuel before a plan's long sessions are Pro, and they're off until you turn them on.
No. Every one is made on your phone at the times in Me → Notifications, and those settings stay on that phone.
