Three levels per follow
Each follow gets its own alert level. Different team, different level. The team you watch every night gets more pings than the team you check casually.
Quiet
Start and final, plus the rare big moment like overtime. A buzz at tipoff or kickoff, a buzz when the game ends, and one more only if the game earns it. Usually two pushes a game.
Companion
Start, the breaks, the scores that matter for your team, and the final. In the NFL, that's the end of the first quarter, halftime, the end of the third, and your team's touchdowns. In the NBA, it's the end of each quarter and the start of the second half.
Full Details
Every moment, every game. In the NFL, every touchdown and field goal from both teams, plus turnovers and plays of 40 yards or more. In the NBA, close finishes, comebacks, and big individual moments on top of Companion.
Spoiler-safe push previews
Turn No-Spoilers on and every push body is rewritten to stay vague. Instead of "Knicks 78, Cavs 65, end of Q3," you get "Quarter wrapped. Tap to check in." An NFL touchdown push reads "A touchdown was scored." The buzz still tells you something changed. The content doesn't leak the state.
Close-game and comeback alerts are skipped entirely under No-Spoilers. Those are inherently spoilery.
What we don't do
- Push based on what we think you'll click.
- Marketing pings in the notification body.
- "Don't miss the playoffs" hype.
- Re-engagement pings if you stop using the app.
- Selling push data. No advertiser knows you got a Knicks alert.
