Reminders and notifications

Last updated

A friendly daily reminder to log your meals, a heads-up for planned workouts, plus a notice when offline meals finish syncing.

Moveno can send you local notifications. The main one is an optional daily meal reminder at a time you choose (default 12:00). When you plan a workout in the planner you get a heads-up 1 hour and 10 minutes before it by default — you turn that on or off in the same place. You'll also get a notice when meals you logged while offline have finished syncing. All notifications stay local to your device — Moveno does not send marketing push notifications.

How it works

  1. First time: after you log your first meal, Moveno may ask whether you want to enable reminders. Tap to allow and pick a time, or tap Later to skip.
  2. Manage it any time: go to Profile → Preferences → Notification settings. At the top is the "Daily meal reminder" switch with a one-line description of what gets sent.
  3. Turn the meal reminder ON; allow notifications in the system dialog if asked.
  4. Pick your reminder time in the time picker and confirm. Is the switch on but the time row reads "Pick a time"? Then no time has been chosen yet and nothing is sent — tap the row to pick one.
  5. Tap the time row later to change the time, or use "Send test notification" to fire one immediately and confirm it works.
  6. Turn it OFF to stop the daily reminder (your last-chosen time is remembered for next time).

Reminders for planned workouts

Below the meal reminder sits the "Training" card with the switch "Workout reminders". When it is on (the default) you get a notification 1 hour and 10 minutes before a planned workout starts. Turn it off and the reminders already queued are cancelled immediately, and Moveno stops asking for notification permission when you plan; turn it back on later and your upcoming planned workouts get their reminders back. If you have disabled notifications for Moveno at the system level, the switch reads off and an "Open Settings" row shows the way back.

Good to know

  • The default reminder time is 12:00; the time picker uses 5-minute steps.
  • Notifications require system permission. If you denied them or later disabled them in iOS/Android Settings, Moveno shows a banner with a link to open Settings.
  • Whether the first-time primer was already shown is also remembered server-side, so reinstalling won't nag you again.
  • There are three notification types: the daily meal reminder (high priority, sound/vibration), reminders for planned workouts (1 hour and 10 minutes ahead, plus a "Rest over" nudge if you background the app during a rest), and offline-sync completion notices (shown when queued meals have uploaded).
  • All notifications are generated locally on your device; there are no remote marketing pushes.
  • On Android, separate notification channels exist for "Meal Reminder", "Workout Reminders" and "Offline Sync", which you can fine-tune in Android system settings.
  • The rest timer's spoken cues ("Rest", "Ten seconds", "Rest over") are not notifications but an in-app voice; turn them off under Profile → Preferences → Training.

Common questions

I'm not getting my reminder. Check that notifications are allowed for Moveno in your phone's system settings; the in-app banner links there.

I want to change the reminder time. Go to Profile → Preferences → Notification settings and tap the time row.

I don't want a heads-up for my planned workouts any more. In Notification settings, turn off "Workout reminders"; the reminders already queued are cancelled right away.

I want to turn off the rest timer's voice. That is an app preference, not a notification: Profile → Preferences → Training → "Spoken cues during rest". The haptic buzzes stay on.

The reminder text is in the wrong language. Switch the app language; reminders re-schedule in the new language.

I logged meals offline — how do I know they synced? Moveno sends a local notification when offline meals finish uploading.

The test reminder did nothing. Notifications must be granted; the test only fires when you've given permission.
