Notifications on Currently are designed with one clear goal: "Inform you when something meaningful is happening — not distract you."
What Kind of Notifications Does Currently Send?
Currently sends notifications only for real, time-sensitive events:
- A friend posts a real-time Moment (if you are staking them)
- Daily Reminder to keep your streak active
- Suggestion if one your contact or mutual friend has joined Currently
- Someone you follow is active right now
- A new follower connects with you
- You unlock a streak milestone or reward
- A nearby activity becomes relevant (if enabled)
- New Features, Products, Offer Information
Why Notifications Are Time-Based
Since Currently is built around Right Now, notifications are contextual, time-sensitive, and naturally limited. This approach keeps alerts useful, calm, and respectful of your time.
Friend Activity Notifications
When someone you follow posts a Moment, you may get notified instantly so you can check what they're doing now. These notifications function as a digital way to say "Hey, I'm here right now."
Nearby & Discovery Notifications (If Enabled)
Location-based notifications alert you when people are active near you, a place around you is buzzing, or something relevant is happening nearby.
Rewards, Streaks & Milestones
You receive notifications when your streak continues or reaches a milestone, you earn coins or rewards, or you unlock achievements. These serve as positive reinforcements, not pressure signals.
How to Control Your Notifications
You're always in control:
- Go to Profile → Settings ⚙️
- Open Notifications
- Enable or disable specific notification types
- Customize alerts based on your comfort
What You Will NOT Get Notified About
Currently intentionally avoids:
- "Trending now" spam
- Viral content alerts
- Engagement bait
- Repeated reminders to open the app
Why Notifications Feel Different on Currently
Traditional apps use notifications to increase screen time, trigger FOMO, and pull you back endlessly. Currently uses notifications to increase awareness, encourage presence, and support real-life connection. "It's about timing, not temptation."
