Notifications
Birthdays, due reminders, and overdue nudges, designed to be trustworthy, not naggy.
PersonalCRM sends three kinds of notifications. The design principle behind all of them: a tool you mute is worse than no tool, so everything is grouped, throttled, and quiet by default.
The three notification types
🎂 Birthdays
A heads-up three days before (time to get a gift or plan a call) and a reminder on the day. Multiple birthdays on the same day are grouped into one notification.
✓ Due reminders
Each reminder reaches you on its due date. On iOS, a single due reminder can be completed straight from the notification.
🔴 Overdue contacts
When people drift past their cadence, you get a nudge, at most once a week, no matter how many people are overdue. A daily list of the same names is how notifications get switched off for good; once a week keeps the signal meaningful.
Where notifications arrive
- iOS push: Mark done on a due reminder, straight from the notification. A birthday reminder opens that person when you tap it. See the iOS app.
- Web inbox: the bell in the sidebar collects everything. The web app never asks for browser notification permission. No "personalcrm.me wants to send notifications" popup, ever.
Settings
Settings → Notifications lets you toggle each type independently and choose your preferred hour. Everything arrives at that local hour in your timezone (DST handled correctly; your timezone syncs automatically).
Trust details
Notifications are decided at send time from your live data, never pre-scheduled on the device. Change a birthday, complete a reminder, or ping someone, and the behavior updates instantly. Deleted data never haunts you.
