iOS & iPadOS

If you're not receiving notifications (used by apps like Random Reminders and Better Sleep):

- Make sure Allow Notifications is enabled
- Choose your preferred alert style (Banners, Alerts, or Badge)
- Enable Sounds if you want audio alerts
Scheduled Notifications Not Firing
- Check Settings > Focus — a Focus mode may be silencing notifications
