Setting up push notifications

Push notifications let you receive a daily update with your portfolio's current value and how it changed that day — without opening the app.

What you'll receive

Each notification includes:

• Portfolio value — Your current total portfolio value
• Daily change — Percentage change compared to the previous close
• Quick action — Tap "View portfolio" to go straight to your dashboard

Notifications are sent once per day at the time you choose.

Supported browsers and devices

Push notifications work on:

• Desktop — Chrome, Edge, Firefox
• Android — Chrome, Edge, Firefox (including PWA)
• iOS — Safari 16.4+ (via installed PWA)

Note: On iOS, you must first install TrackMyShares as a PWA (add to home screen) before push notifications become available.

Enabling notifications

1. Open your portfolio
2. Click the Actions button and select Notifications
3. Select the Push tab
4. Toggle the switch on
5. Your browser will ask for notification permission — click Allow
6. Choose your preferred time (available in 30-minute intervals)
7. Choose your timezone

Your device is now registered and will receive daily updates.

Choosing a time

Pick a time that works for your schedule. Common choices:

Time	Use case
Morning (08:00–09:00)	Check performance before starting your day
After market close (16:30–17:00)	See the day's final results
Evening (19:00–20:00)	Review during downtime

Times are shown in 24-hour format with 30-minute intervals.

Choosing a timezone

Select the timezone that matches your location. Supported timezones include:

• North America — Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific
• Europe — London, Paris, Berlin
• Asia Pacific — Tokyo, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth

The timezone picker defaults to your browser's timezone.

Testing notifications

After enabling, click Send test notification to verify everything works. You should receive a notification within a few seconds showing your current portfolio value.

If the test notification doesn't arrive:

• Check that your browser has permission to send notifications
• On mobile, ensure the app is installed as a PWA
• Try refreshing the page and enabling again

Managing notifications per portfolio

Each portfolio has its own notification settings. You can:

• Enable notifications for some portfolios and not others
• Set different times for different portfolios
• Use different timezones if you track markets in multiple regions

Notifications are available for all portfolio types, including consolidated portfolios.

Disabling notifications

To stop receiving notifications for a portfolio:

1. Open the portfolio and click Actions → Notifications
2. Select the Push tab
3. Toggle off the notification switch

To stop all notifications from TrackMyShares, revoke notification permission in your browser settings.

Troubleshooting

"Notifications not supported"

Your browser doesn't support the Web Push API. Try using Chrome, Edge, or Firefox.

"Permission denied"

You previously blocked notifications for this site. To fix this:

Notifications stopped arriving

• Check that notifications are still enabled in Actions → Notifications
