Notifications
Configure how and when you receive updates from Mallory.
Mallory keeps your family in the loop by text. To-do reminders, updates, and replies all arrive as SMS messages, so everyone stays on top of the shared list without needing the app.
To manage SMS notifications:
- Go to Settings → Notifications
- Make sure SMS is enabled for the family members you want to keep updated
- Confirm each person's phone number is correct
Family members who don't use the app can still add, complete, and check on to-dos entirely over text.
Receive a daily summary of your family's to-dos so everyone knows what's on the list.
To set up daily summaries:
- Go to Settings → Notifications
- Check "Send me a daily summary of my to-dos"
- Choose where to receive it (Email and/or SMS)
- Select your preferred time of day
The summary includes the to-dos due over the next 24 hours and who's responsible for each.
Set a time window when you don't want to receive any notifications from Mallory.
To set quiet hours:
- Go to Settings → Notifications → Quiet Hours
- Check "Enable quiet hours"
- Set your start time (e.g., 10:00 PM)
- Set your end time (e.g., 7:00 AM)
During quiet hours, Mallory won't send any notifications. Urgent reminders will be queued and sent when quiet hours end.
Each family member can customize their own notification preferences:
- •Go to Settings from the main menu
- •Scroll to the Notifications section
- •Adjust daily summaries, SMS notifications, and quiet hours
- •Changes are saved automatically
- •Keep everyone looped in: Enable SMS for family members who don't use the app
- •Use quiet hours: Prevent late-night notifications from disrupting sleep
- •Lean on summaries: A daily summary is a low-noise way to stay on top of to-dos
- •Adjust as needed: Fine-tune your settings based on what works for your family
