Understand Circle Notifications
Know where people updates, reminders, and account prompts belong.
- 4 min
- notification clarity
- Open the prompt in its context before acting
Notifications should help you return to the right context, not pull you into a generic inbox.
In Logit, person-origin updates should appear in the relevant Circle whenever possible. If Sam assigns a task or goal to you, that notice belongs in your Circle with Sam. System notices, including moderation status notices, appear in your Private Circle. Official Logit announcements, support replies, bugs, feature requests, and account help stay in Logit Social so support can reply in context.
Use This When
- A prompt feels noisy or unclear.
- You want to decide whether to act, mute, snooze, or ignore it.
- You want to understand why prompts appear in Circles.
What Stays Private
person's Circle.
- A notification should not reveal unrelated private journal content.
- Person-origin updates belong in the person or group Circle when possible.
- System notices belong in your Private Circle, not in another
- Official Logit announcements and support replies belong in Logit Social.
- Muting a Circle does not make private notes visible.
One Thing To Do Now
Ask: is this from a person, a Circle, Logit, or my own reminder?
Notification Flow
In short: check where the prompt came from, open the relevant context, then choose the smallest useful response.

Where To Go Next
Frequently Asked Questions
Are notifications public?
No. They should point you back to context without making unrelated private content visible.
Why do some prompts appear in Circles?
If a prompt comes from a person, event, or shared room, keeping it in that Circle helps preserve context and audience.
Can I turn notifications down?
Yes. Mute noisy Circles, pause reminders, or adjust settings when a prompt no longer helps.
Why do some prompts live in my Private Circle?
Prompts that do not belong to another person or group live in your Private Circle or the related action context, so they stay reviewable without becoming a public feed.
