Setting up notifications in CostMe
The right moment for a money app isn't when you remember to open it. It's when an urge hits or a timer ends. That's what notifications are for.
A money app only helps if it shows up at the right moment. The right moment is usually not when you remember to open it. It is when an urge hits or a timer ends. That is why notifications matter. Here is how to set them up.
CostMe uses gentle reminders, not spam. They nudge you to decide, mark a win, or check back in. You stay in control of all of them.
Turning them on
The first time you put a price in the 48-hour vault, CostMe will ask to send notifications. Tap allow. If you skipped it, open your iPhone Settings, find CostMe, and switch notifications on there.
What the reminders do
- Vault is up. When your 48-hour pause ends, you get a tap to come back and choose: resist or buy.
- Gentle check-ins. A nudge to keep your streak alive on a quiet day.
- Wins worth seeing. A note when your savings cross a number that feels good.
Keeping them light
If it ever feels like too much, you can dial it down in your iPhone Settings without turning everything off. The goal is one helpful tap at the right time, not a buzzing phone.
Pair notifications with the home-screen widget so your progress is always one glance away too.
