Push notifications are how Mucka pings you when there's something to approve, a job's about to start, or a client's replied to a quote. Without them you'd have to open the app to see if anything's new. Turn them on once, you're set.
On iPhone
If you tapped Allow when the app first asked, you're done. Notifications work.
If you tapped Don't Allow (or missed the prompt), turn them on manually:
- Open
iPhone Settings → Notifications → Mucka - Toggle Allow Notifications on
- Pick what kind of alert you want: Banners (on-screen), Sounds, Badges
Notifications start arriving on the next thing Mucka has for you.
On Android
Mucka asks for notification permission the first time you sign in. If you tapped Allow, you're done.
If you tapped Don't allow (or missed it), open Settings → Notifications and switch Push notifications on. Mucka will ask again — or, if Android won't show the prompt a second time, it gives you an Open phone settings button that takes you straight to the right screen. There, toggle Allow notifications on and head back.
You can also get there manually any time: phone Settings → Apps → Mucka → Notifications.
If notifications still don't arrive after enabling, your phone might be suppressing them via battery optimisation. Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo and Huawei phones are the usual suspects. Search your phone settings for "battery optimisation" or "auto-launch" and exempt Mucka.
What Mucka pushes you
- Action ready: when there's a draft email, quote or invoice waiting for your tap
- Briefings: your morning and evening summary, if you've set them on
- Schedule changes: when a job's reassigned to you or moved
- Voice calls: when Mucka rings you (only on the native app)
- WhatsApp replies: when a client replies to a Mucka-sent message
You can quieten any of these from the in-app notification settings if a category is getting noisy.
Don't want everything
In Settings (the account card at the bottom of the sidebar), there's a Notifications tab where you can pick which categories ping you on phone vs which just appear in your in-app inbox.
A common setup:
- Phone push: action ready, voice calls, urgent schedule changes
- In-app only: morning briefings, WhatsApp replies, lower-urgency stuff
Common gotchas
- Notifications arriving silently with no sound. Check your phone's Do Not Disturb settings. Mucka respects DND like any other app.
- Notifications stop arriving suddenly. Usually a phone-side battery saver kicking in. Re-exempt Mucka from battery optimisation.
- Two copies of every notification. You've probably got both the native app and the web app (PWA) installed on the same phone. Uninstall the web home-screen shortcut.
- Apple Watch / wearable not vibrating. Check that the wearable is set to mirror your iPhone's Mucka notifications.
