Notifications in 📝MythOS are the addressed-to-you half of 📝Analytics, Activity & Notifications — the inbox where someone else's action lands when it needs you to know, or to decide.
Most of what happens in a library does not need your attention, so notifications are deliberately narrow: a person did something involving your work, or your account needs a look. Anything that is merely a number belongs in analytics instead.
Everything actionable arrives here, which makes it the one surface a creator sharing memos or running a community genuinely has to check.
Key Capabilities
- A single inbox — every alert in one place, reached from the bell in the top bar
- Decide in place — approve or decline access requests, accept or decline collaborator invitations, follow back
- Comments and replies — when someone comments on your memo or replies to your comment
- Access and sharing — memo access requests and their outcomes, community join requests, library-sharing decisions
- Community activity — new followers and newsletter subscribers, and upvote milestones on your posts
- Account alerts — credits granted, AI budget thresholds crossed, and failed subscription payments
- Filter and sort — by type, by read or unread, newest or oldest first, or grouped by type
- Read and dismiss — mark one or all as read, and dismiss anything you are done with

FAQ
- Will I be notified when someone mentions me? Not yet. Mentioning a person — and notifying them — is planned for 📝Comments, where a reply is aimed at someone in particular. It is not planned for memo bodies, where an @mention links a memo rather than a person: those build the link graph and surface in backlinks, which is where to look for who is referencing your work.
- Can I choose which notifications I receive? Yes. Settings → Notifications groups every kind of notification, with separate in-app and email switches for each type and for a whole group at once, and saves as you go. AI budget alerts follow the alert switches on Settings → AI instead, a few required account notices cannot be turned off, and push notifications are not available.
- Which notifications also send an email? By default, the ones that ask something of you: collaborator invites, requests to manage your library, memo access requests and their decisions, comments and replies, community and event invites, and messages from event hosts. Followers, subscribers, milestones, badges and calendar activity email only once you turn email on for them. Every notification email links back to your settings, and most carry a one-click unsubscribe for their group; the Manage preferences link in a newsletter opens an email preferences page where you can adjust each subscription or unsubscribe from all MythOS email at once.
- What is the difference between the bell and the inbox? The bell shows your most recent notifications for a quick scan. Decisions — approve, decline, accept — are made in the full inbox.
- What happens when I dismiss one? It leaves your inbox. Dismissing is not a decision: a pending access request or invitation stays pending until you act on it where it lives.
- Do notifications appear on my phone? Not as push notifications. MythOS notifications are in-app, so they appear when you open the site in a browser.
