Daily Reminders & Push Notifications

Consistency matters more than perfection. Daily reminders help you build a lasting habit of spending time with God.
“But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.” — Deuteronomy 4:29

Setting Up Push Notifications

1

Open Settings

Tap the menu icon and go to Settings, or visit your Profile and tap the settings shortcut.
2

Enable daily reminders

Toggle the Daily Reminders switch to on.
3

Allow notifications

Your browser or device will ask you to allow notifications. Tap Allow when prompted. This step is required for reminders to work.
4

Choose your time

Pick a time from the dropdown. Times are available in 15-minute increments (for example, 6:00 AM, 6:15 AM, 6:30 AM). Choose a time that works for your daily rhythm.
5

Save

Your preference saves automatically. You will start receiving reminders the next day.

Changing Your Reminder Time

Go back to Settings at any time and select a new time from the dropdown. The change takes effect immediately.

What Notifications Look Like

You will receive a gentle push notification at your chosen time. Tapping it opens GodFocus so you can jump straight into a session. On the Android app, notifications work like any other app notification and appear in your notification shade. On the web app, notifications are delivered through your browser’s push notification system.
On web browsers, notifications require browser permission. If you accidentally denied permission, you will need to re-enable it in your browser settings for app.godfocus.io. See our troubleshooting guide if you need help.

In-App Announcements

GodFocus may also send you in-app announcements about new features, updates, or seasonal content. These appear inside the app and do not require push notification permission.

Turning Off Reminders

Toggle the Daily Reminders switch to off in Settings. You can re-enable it anytime.
Many users find that morning reminders help them start the day grounded in Scripture. But there is no wrong time — pick whatever moment you can protect as your time with God.
