# Notifications

Tachyo can tell you when something happens instead of waiting for you to look. The notification system lives in the **bell** in the top bar.

## The notification centre

The bell carries an unread badge and opens a popover with two views: **recent notifications** and **settings**. Opening and then closing the popover marks everything as read.

New items are picked up continuously while a tab is open, so the bell stays current without a refresh.

## Desktop pop-ups

Beyond the in-app bell, Tachyo can raise a browser notification, the one that appears outside the tab, so it reaches you while you are working in another window.

To use them:

1. Turn on **pop-ups** in the notification settings.
2. Accept the browser's permission prompt when it appears.
3. Optionally turn on **sound**.

Pop-ups fire whether the tab is focused or in the background, as long as a browser window is open. The first check after you enable them establishes a baseline, so turning them on never floods you with history.

{% hint style="info" %}
If pop-ups are on in Tachyo but nothing appears, the browser permission is almost always the cause. Check site notification permissions in your browser settings. Some systems also suppress notifications entirely in focus or do-not-disturb modes.
{% endhint %}

## Per-source switches

You control which kinds of events can notify you, independently:

* **Signals**: model verdicts and signal changes.
* **Activity**: wallet and token activity relevant to you.
* **Market**: market-level items.
* **Feedback**: updates on submissions you have made.
* **Relay**: relayed platform events.

The master switch turns everything off in one move without losing your per-source choices.

## Tuning it so it stays useful

The failure mode of notifications is not missing one. It is getting so many that you stop reading them. Two habits keep it working:

* **Keep** [**watchlist**](/platform/watchlist.md) **pins few.** Most of what you get notified about traces back to a pin.
* **Turn off the sources you do not act on.** If market items never change what you do, that switch is costing you attention for nothing.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tachyo.ai/account/notifications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
