# Notifications

> Get told when a build finishes, even when Mythex isn't open — in your browser or on your phone.

# Notifications

A build can take a few minutes, and there is no reason to sit and watch it.
Turn notifications on and Mythex tells you when the agent has finished, with
what it did — not a generic "your build finished", but a line from the turn
itself.

## Turning them on

Open **[Account settings](https://mythex.ai/settings)** → **Notifications** and
click **Turn on**. Your browser asks for permission; allow it once and the row
reads **On**.

You can also turn them on from the card that appears in the chat after you send
a message. It offers once, and remembers if you dismiss it.

## What you get told

One notification per finished turn, for the project it belongs to. Clicking it
opens that project — if Mythex is already open in a tab, that tab comes forward
rather than a second one opening.

If a second turn finishes on the same project before you have read the first,
the newer one replaces it instead of stacking up.

## When you won't be told

**While you are already looking at that project.** If the tab is open, in front
of you, and on the project the notification is about, Mythex stays quiet — you
can see the reply arrive, and a system notification about it would only be in
the way.

You still get told when:

* the tab is in the background, or the window is behind something else
* you are on a different project, or anywhere else in Mythex
* the browser is minimised, or Mythex is closed entirely

## Turning them off

Two ways, and they are not the same:

* **In Mythex** — Account settings → Notifications. This stops this browser
  from receiving them.
* **In your browser** — the padlock in the address bar → Notifications. This
  revokes permission, and only the browser can give it back.

<Note>
  **Blocked** means permission was declined in the browser at some point. No
  website can reopen its own permission settings, so Mythex cannot offer a
  button for it — allow notifications for this site in your browser's settings,
  then reload the page.

## On your phone

Signing in on another device registers that device too, so a build you started
on your laptop can reach you on your phone. Signing out of a device stops it
receiving them.
