Quiet mode and notifications
Quiet mode silences everything except the people on your shortlist. Pair it with per-channel notification controls for a calmer phone.
What it is
Quiet mode silences everything except the people on your shortlist. Notifications settings are the per-channel controls that decide what pings you, when, and how. Together they're how you keep TrueSay from running your phone.
How to use it
Tap your avatar → Quiet mode. Pick a duration (1h, until tomorrow, custom) or Until I turn it off. Add people to your shortlist — those still get through.
For granular control, open Settings → Notifications. You'll see a row per channel — DMs, mentions, replies, reactions, follows, group posts, etc. Each row has Push, In-app, and Email toggles.
Tap any row to open per-channel options like quiet hours, batching (daily digest instead of per-event), and "only from people I follow."
Why it matters
Notifications are the easiest place for a social app to mistreat you, and most do. We built Quiet mode as a one-tap escape hatch and the per-channel controls so the people who want full control aren't stuck with a binary on/off. Honestly, most people set it once and never think about it again — that's the design goal.
