The app on your phone: home screen and notifications

The operator app runs in the phone's browser; nothing is downloaded from an app store. We recommend adding it to the home screen. It then opens with one tap, straight on the operator screens.

Adding it to the home screen

Until the app is on the home screen, it shows a card saying Add the app to your home screen.

• Android: tap Add to home screen and confirm.
• iPhone: tap Share at the bottom and choose Add to Home Screen.

If you close the card with the cross, it will not come back. You can then add the app through the browser menu.

Turning on notifications

Notifications are turned on separately on each phone.

1. Open the app from the home screen.
2. At the bottom, below the content, tap Turn on notifications and allow them when the phone asks.
3. Tap Send a test, lock the phone and wait a moment. It should go off.

On an iPhone, notifications only work for the app added to the home screen, on iOS 16.4 or newer. They do not arrive in an ordinary Safari tab.

Turn them off with Turn off notifications. Signing out turns them off automatically. The phone at the tanks is often shared, and notifications should not go to whoever has it after you.

What the phone tells you

• Rest is over on brew day. If nobody completes the step, a reminder follows.
• Fermentation done when the gravity sits at the recipe target, or Gravity stalled when it is stuck above it.
• Ready to package when the beer has had the maturation time from the recipe. Only if the recipe states it.
• A morning reminder of how many tanks still need a reading.

Notifications go to every phone in the brewery that has them turned on. The time of the morning reminder is set in Settings, see Brewery settings and notifications.

If notifications do not arrive, see Notifications are not arriving.
