Notifications and widgets
All Silex notifications are scheduled on your phone; none come from a server. Turn them off any time in iOS Settings › Notifications › Silex.
What Silex sends
| Notification | When |
|---|---|
| Today's program day | 9:00 each morning |
| Evening pledge | 20:30 every evening, the classic urge window: a nudge to make today's pledge, or a reminder that SOS is one tap away if you already have |
| Risky-hour heads-up | 30 minutes before the time you said urges hit hardest |
| Milestones | 10:00 on days 3, 7, 14, 21, 30 and 90 |
| Still in your corner | After three days without opening the app |
| Trial reminder | The day before a free trial ends |
| After graduation | A check-in on day 120, then a weekly Sunday check |
If you leave onboarding before subscribing, Silex sends up to three reminders, on days 1, 3 and 7. After a lapse, reminders are rescheduled.
Discreet mode
If you told Silex during onboarding that you hide your gambling, notifications use neutral wording that doesn't mention gambling, for phones others might see. If you said you hide most of it, money amounts are hidden in the app too.
Widgets
- Days free: small, medium and large Home Screen widgets, plus circular, rectangular and inline Lock Screen widgets.
- SOS control: a Control Center button that opens the urge flow in one press (iOS 18 or later).
- Urge timer: a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you ride out an urge.
