Notification Settings and Preferences

daily.dev gives you granular notification controls so you can decide which updates matter, where they arrive, and how often you hear from us.

You can manage notifications from your account settings and notifications page.

UI references:

  • Account settings section: Notification Settings
  • Main route: /notifications

Notification channels​

daily.dev supports multiple notification channels:

  • In-app notifications
  • Email notifications
  • Web push notifications

You can enable or mute settings per channel instead of treating notifications as all-or-nothing.

In-app notifications​

In-app notifications cover several categories:

  • Activity on your posts and comments
  • Mentions
  • Awards and report updates
  • Updates from followed sources, users, collections, and bookmarked posts
  • Streak reminders and recovery prompts
  • Achievements
  • Personalized job matches
  • Squad notifications and moderation notifications

You can also manage push notifications separately for real-time device alerts.

Email notifications​

Email settings include:

  • Activity notifications
  • Follow-based updates
  • Streak notifications
  • Achievement notifications
  • Creator updates
  • Personalized job matches
  • Billing notifications
  • Major announcements, onboarding, and marketing emails
  • Advanced option to unsubscribe from all email notifications

Follow-based notification controls​

daily.dev lets you manage follow-based updates in detail. Depending on the channel, this can include:

  • Source new post
  • Squad new post
  • User new posts
  • Collections you follow
  • Read-it-later reminders
  • Poll results

These settings work especially well with the Following feed.

Per-post, per-comment, and per-thread controls​

Some notifications can be managed at the item level, not just globally.

Examples include:

  • Turning off notifications from a specific post
  • Muting or unmuting a comment thread
  • Adjusting notifications from followed content sources

This is useful when you want to keep global notifications on but silence a noisy thread or post.

Reading reminders​

daily.dev supports a dedicated Reading reminder setting.

When enabled, you can:

  • Turn on a daily reminder
  • Choose the hour you want the reminder sent
  • Use reminders to help protect your reading habit

This is separate from the streak restoration flow and is designed to help you stay consistent before you miss a day.

Streak notifications​

Streak-related notification controls include:

  • Notify me before my streak expires
  • Restore broken streak

These can be configured separately from your regular reading reminder.

For more on reading progress, see Reading streak.

Personalized digests and AI Briefings​

Notification settings also include email delivery preferences for digests and AI-generated briefings.

Depending on your plan and available features, you can configure:

  • Personalized digest delivery
  • Daily or weekly send frequency
  • Preferred send time
  • Presidential briefings / AI briefings

These settings are useful if you want a scheduled summary instead of frequent individual notifications.

Creator and analytics notifications​

If you publish content, notification settings also cover creator-related updates such as:

  • Source suggestion outcomes
  • Submitted post review updates
  • Squad role changes
  • Post analytics updates
