Turn on push notifications

Push notifications let WatchMy.bike reach you the moment something
needs attention — without you opening email or the site. They're
free on every plan, and they're the fastest way to hear about a part
crossing its wear limit or a ride landing on the wrong bike.

What you'll get

Two kinds of alert, each with its own switch once push is on:

• Maintenance alerts — a part hits its warning threshold (80% of
  expected life by default), exceeds 100%, or passes a service
  interval. Same logic as the maintenance alerts
  you may already get by email — push just delivers them instantly.
• New activity alerts — a Strava ride syncs and adds distance to
  the components on that bike. Handy for catching a ride logged
  against the wrong bike before the numbers drift.

Push works alongside email, not instead of it. Turning one on
doesn't turn the other off — set each channel however you like.

Turn it on (desktop)

1. Go to Settings → Notifications.
2. Toggle Push notifications on.
3. Your browser asks permission to show notifications — click
   Allow.

That's it. Once it's on, two sub-toggles appear (Maintenance alerts
and New activity alerts) so you can mute either type without turning
push off entirely.

Supported in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari 16.4 or newer.

Turn it on (iPhone / iPad)

iOS only allows push when WatchMy.bike is installed as an app — so
there's one extra step first:

1. Open watchmy.bike in Safari.
2. Tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen.
3. Open WatchMy.bike from the new home-screen icon (not from Safari).
4. Go to Settings → Notifications, toggle Push notifications
   on, and tap Allow when prompted.

This installs the app as a PWA — it still updates itself like the
website, you just get an icon and push support. Android phones don't
need this step; push works straight from the browser.

If the toggle is greyed out or blocked

• "Blocked" warning — you (or the browser) previously declined
  the permission. Open your browser's site settings for
  watchmy.bike, set notifications back to Allow, then reload the
  page and toggle it on again.
• "Not supported" — the browser doesn't support web push. Switch
  to Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari 16.4+.
• iPhone, no install prompt — make sure you opened the app from
  the home-screen icon, not a Safari tab. Push is only available in
  the installed app on iOS.

Privacy

Push is only ever used for the alerts above — the ones you opt into.
No marketing, no nudges. Turn it off any time from the same toggle,
and you can also mute a single part with the bell icon on its
component card.
