A HELPING HAND · REMINDERS & ROUTINES

When an enabled reminder is silent

A visible notification can be silent by design. Fastly's goal chime is optional and off by default, while device sound and focus settings can impose additional behavior.

Decide what cue you want

A visible notification can be silent by design. Fastly's goal chime is optional and off by default, while device sound and focus settings can impose additional behavior.

Check the relevant settings

Check Sound & haptics for Chime at your goal, then inspect the operating system's notification sound settings for Fastly. Confirm whether the issue is silence or a notification that never appeared.

Reminders are scheduled locally after permission. All reminders is the master control; Goal reached and Time to start are separate choices. The active or idle session state determines which of those cues is scheduled.

Understand the timing distinction

On Android, reminder delivery uses sound-related notification channels, so system channel settings can matter independently of the visible app switch. Reopen the app after adjusting the relevant choices.

Keep control of the routine

Do not change session times to troubleshoot audio. The clock record and the notification's presentation settings are different parts of the experience.

Fastly is a lifestyle timer and journal. These notes explain the app and offer reflection prompts. They are not medical advice or a prescribed eating schedule.
