Insight notifications
Opt-in, conservative, at most twice a day. How surfacing works and how to control it.
A note filed away is inert until you go looking for it. Insights are SempreNotes’s answer to that — the app occasionally notices an action hiding in your memories and offers it. Carefully, and only if you opt in.
How surfacing works
SempreNotes evaluates memory for surfaceable insights at exactly two moments:
- When you commit a new memory — the item is already in working context, so this costs nothing extra.
- In a background pass at most twice per day, scheduled through iOS’s background task system.
There is no continuous monitoring or foreground polling. Between those moments, SempreNotes is doing nothing.
High confidence or nothing
Only insights the model is confident about get delivered. Uncertain candidates are dropped, not delivered as noise. A notification states the suggested action and links to the memories it was derived from — tap through and you see exactly why SempreNotes thinks you need to follow up.
Your controls
- Off by default — insights never start without you enabling them.
- Global disable — one switch turns all surfacing off.
- Per-source mute — stop insights from voice notes but keep them for shared content, or any combination.
- 24-hour snooze — quiet without reconfiguring.
If notifications are denied at the iOS level, surfacing simply does not run. Nothing else in the app changes.
