| Capability | Description | |------------|-------------| | | Not just time-based: e.g., “push when HR drops below 100 after a workout” (hydration reminder). | | Pattern vocabulary | Short buzz = notification, double tap = left turn, wave = stand up. Users learn instinctively. | | Smart intensity | Gentle during focus/deep sleep; stronger during high activity or if user missed previous pushes. | | Interruption threshold | Respects Do Not Disturb windows but allows urgent pushes (e.g., fall detection). | | Bidirectional push | User can push back (e.g., tap twice → “I’m busy, remind me in 15 min”). |
