Summary

Action Items

• [x] Consider alternative placement for weekly rewards and family-referral prompts on iOS/Android; leave them out of Medita.
• [x] Remove the exposed household-tip text variable and revise household completion to accommodate different family sizes, potentially using a “That’s everyone” button instead of a fixed member target.
• [x] Simplify Medita’s setup layout: remove space-consuming time estimates and shorten the headline and subheading to two lines each where possible.
• [x] Reposition the login network-error message so it remains visible above the keyboard.
• [x] Remove the second reminder chime/vibration; retain the initial alert and keep the full-screen reminder visible until dismissed.
• [x] Investigate and fix reminders appearing over other apps without the relevant permission enabled; complete before/after testing of both overlay and battery-saver permissions.
• [x] Send Daisy Claude’s findings on the notification-permission issue; draft the Medita reply and share it for review before sending.

Setup Guide and Layout

• Undo placement remains unchanged: it is brief, and adjacent routine statistics make moving it to the right difficult.
• Weekly rewards and family referrals have already been removed from the setup guide because of low engagement. Completion celebrations remain; whether to remove them for a calmer Medita experience was left unresolved.
• The household step’s fixed member target does not suit smaller families. An explicit completion control would allow users to finish without filling unnecessary member slots.
• Medita’s setup screen is cramped compared with iOS: time estimates and a three-line headline create unnecessary scrolling.

Offline Behavior

• Cached app data opened successfully offline. Testing the no-data state required logging out, beginning login online, and interrupting loading before reopening offline.
• Automatic loading resumed once Wi-Fi was genuinely restored, confirming the offline-screen message was accurate. The existing Retry button remains a fallback; the earlier apparent failure was caused by Wi-Fi still being off.

Reminders and Notification Testing

• The locked-screen reminder sounded, repeated after roughly 10–15 seconds, and remained visible beyond 30 seconds and after locking/unlocking. No notification history/tray could be found after leaving the alert.
• “Show over other apps” and “Keep running in battery saver” controls are available in onboarding and notification settings. Missing permissions were suspected contributors to earlier notification failures.
• A reminder nevertheless appeared over the Notes app before overlay permission was enabled. Previously reported failures concerned the sideloaded production app, while development builds had worked.
• Default event reminders worked in a separate-account check; simultaneous testing in the same account was considered the likely cause of the earlier missing-reminder behavior.

position. So that would, that would be actually both undo and the, um, uh, statistics.

No, wait, statistics is shown next to the undo actually for routine.

So that would be tricky to move all that over to the right side.

Hmm, okay, so

Yeah, I mean, the undo is only there for a little second, but yeah, it is quite prominent while it's there.

Yeah.

And I'm just going to check on my phone how it looks with the statistics as well.

Yeah, the statistics show up actually next to it on the right side.

I think we can leave it for now. It's never like super bothered me. Yeah, I think because it goes quick enough.

Hopefully it's not a big thing.

Yeah.

Okay, so we have basically how the— now the only thing we changed with the, the actual setup guide is that we removed the weekly rewards and the referral— refer your family prompt because no one was doing that. So we'll consider where else to put that for iOS and Android and leave out of Medita. Yeah, it's still like the functionality is it's still essentially the same. So you, when you complete something You still get like that full screen takeover saying, you know, well done, you've completed.

5 to-dos or whatever.

To keep it calmer for Medita, do we want to remove that like celebration screen or just leave it for now?

Um, hmm.

Let me see. I was on the household screen looking at that and it still has that text variable.

Onboarding setup widget household tip.

Has that been fixed?

Sorry, say that one more time. What does it have?

A text variable that onboarding.setupwidget.household.tip.

It's still on this version at least.

Okay.

Yeah.

So on the Build Your Household.

Really? Yeah.

Okay.

That will of course be removed.

Um, offline screen.

So this will need to be

That one's tricky to do now because

The data's been loaded.

I can turn my Medita into offline mode and see that it opens. Well, it did also open last time I tried, so.

Yeah, opens fine now as well, but this is more about, um, if you haven't signed in yet, or if you have signed in but the data hasn't loaded before you close the app and then you're offline and then you try and go and sign in. So it's like when the date— when there's no data for it to actually like fill the app with.

Um, so actually to test it now that the data is loaded in that.

App, you would need to delete the app and redo it. But is that a pain to do with the APK.

Um, well, I can just log out, can't I? Uh, that should clear everything.

Actually, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Sorry, that was me being silly. Yeah, if you log out

Okay, logged out, and then I'm just going to force quit the app to be sure. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, and then I can try launching it.

In offline mode.

Yeah.

Okay, I'm seeing the login.

Yeah, and then so if you go same code, CHPN3319. CHPN3319. 3319.

Okay, I can't actually submit.

Okay, if you, if you take off airplane mode for a second to click the login, and before the information loads, you close down the app.

And then you go back. By the way, It says network error, please try again, but it was behind the keyboard.

Just right under the input, network error, please try again.

But there was no way for me to see it unless I manually— it was hidden below the

Okay, okay, so we just need to adjust that so like a user is not getting frustrated.

Okay, so shifting, because yeah, on mine I see that on the iOS, so shift text.

Okay, but it says no internet connection on other stuff as well. So it's for some reason not on Wi-Fi, I suppose.

Yeah, I had to manually turn Wi-Fi back on for some reason. Okay.

And now it did carry on on itself by itself. Oh, okay.

Yeah, it does continue by itself as soon as it got online.

And then I guess we can keep— we'd like good to keep the retry thing just as like a failsafe.

If it doesn't.

That step is a little bit uncool if you're a family with, you know, 2 parents and 1 kid. Yeah. And you got 2 people like, no, you're not done. No, I am done. Yeah.

I think just adding someone should kind of cover it.

Yeah, we'd skip the whole 1 out of 3 thing.

And then maybe it's just, maybe you select like my family's complete or something, or like I'm, I'm complete, like there's a button to say that, you know.

Everyone's in, and then you get the

You get the points and there's not like empty icons to fill. You just like can keep adding if you need to and then you select like we're complete.

Yeah, we can have a secondary button under the list of icons that say like, that's everyone or something like that. As long as we get rid of this placeholder text variable, we maybe can— I'm not sure when these time estimations were introduced, but if we would get rid of those too, we could save a little more vertical space. So that we should be able to show that button.

Yeah, in terms of just seeing everything on the screen, I'm still leaning towards just getting rid of the Time estimates all over.

At least on the Medita here, that kind of pushes things down quite a bit. Yeah.

And so that I have a good scroll bar on the first screen here.

4 steps to make your good habits stick. That just pushes to 3 lines. Yeah.

Any space at all, and it's not really affecting the, the build. Like, yeah, it doesn't affect it at all. But if it is on Medita, we can just remove it from Medita. Yeah.

Yeah, and if we were able to get a good and clear headline on 2 lines, that would also help. Yeah. if it's like 2 lines max, both for the headline and the subheading, and then you can get it all on the one page.

Oh yeah, no, that's all good. Yeah, on the iOS, you obviously have loads of space, but good to see that. Um, okay, cool. I can adjust that then.

Either because— either and because there wasn't a setting that meant notifications were shown when any other app was open.

Um, and also there was nothing to mean, um, there was no settings implemented to mean that the notifications would show if a phone was on battery saver mode. So those are 2 limiting factors that might have affected how much people were seeing notifications.

Yeah. Um, so yeah, there's now settings in the notification screen in onboarding and also in the settings where you can select whether you want it— your notifications shown over other apps and in battery saver mode.

So, so far it did the first expected things. It had a chime and I think maybe a vibration. I didn't hold it in my hand. Yeah. And then that repeated after 10 or 15 seconds, um, and now I'm just waiting to see.

Reminders disappear after 30 seconds was his complaint. So yeah, now after 30 seconds it should still show on the screen until it's dismissed.

Yeah, so it's been more than 30 seconds and it's still showing.

Okay, still there when I open it back up, so that's good.

I just clicked the home button.

Yeah, then pull down the notification tray if Medita OS shows one. I don't think it does.

So after having dismissed it, I'm not sure that I can find it anywhere, but I think that's general for the Medita. Okay.

Nah.

Yeah, I think I would skip the second alert now that it stays up. Yeah.

I would agree. I mean, I'm— I can't— I feel like that, that feels like a lot. So then we— yeah, we, we skip the second fire of the chime and the buzz, but we keep the first chime and buzz, and then it still stays on screen until you dismiss.

Yes. Yeah, sounds good. Okay, cool. And is, is the app you're running

Um, the, the one with the issues has been the one that I sideloaded, the production app that I sideloaded, while the builds that I've done in this way have worked. Okay, so I would expect them to also work with the incaps. Yeah.

And then notify for is here, show over.

Other apps, a reminder can open while you're using another app.

And then there should be a keep running in battery saver.

Okay, so you actively have to enable these or how does it work? So yeah, so in the onboarding process, Like in the onboarding flow on notifications page now, like these 2, these settings exist there as well. Oh, okay. Got it. Um, and yeah, you have to, we have to like give them permission to do those, both those things.

So ideally I would run a test on these as well after, before and after allowing. Yeah.

Okay, we're both in this— we're both in the same account.

Yeah, but when I do create a new event, it doesn't add any reminders at all.

Yeah, I think, I think this is a— let me go into a different account. Okay, because I want to open a different app now just so that I have something open when the

So actually I shouldn't see it now, I suppose, when it fires since I haven't given permission.

It did show me though.

Okay, so we just need to fix that so it only shows when you've actually given permission.

I was testing notifications now and there's a new permission in settings to allow to show notifications also when other apps are open. I had not yet enabled that.

But still, while viewing the Notes app, the notification fired and overlapped the Notes app.

Can you Quickly check what happened there so that I can Send a brief to Daisy.

Yeah, my default event reminders are working. I think it's just because we were both playing around with the same tests.

I'll just send you what Claude sent me.

And I'll work on a reply to Madita. Okay.

And I just ship it by you before I send it to them. Nice.
