Ability to turn off in-product notifications (edited)

JAL · September 2022

Notifications can be turned off for email and push notifications, however, they cannot be turned off within the on-line version. Every time I log in to my account there are new notifications that I have to delete. It would be nice to have the option to exclude those notifications from appearing the same as the option to turn off notifications for email and push.

I agree. There are lots of notifications that I do not want to see at all.

I disabled all notifications, but I continue to receive notifications like "Woo Hoo you've just been paid". This is amateurish and better suited for a teenager.

I want to be able to disable all notifications that I don't specifically enable; or which are NOT critical.

Finance is not a game to me, and I use Simplifi for the data and the hope that the data visualizations and reports will improve.

@Dan-in-Virginia sorry to hear you experience the various playful notifications as amateurish and better suited to a teenager. I imagine, like most things, that would depend on the teenager as it apparently does for us old-agers. Personally I like the playfulness and if I didn't I'd more than likely be using one of the more "serious minded" personal finance apps like Quicken or Y**B to name just two possibilities. The playfulness built into Simplifi for me is part of it's attractiveness for me.

My key point is that this is a superfluous notification (I know I had income, which may or may not be "paid" from someone), and I disabled all the notifications. As a paying customer, my notification preferences should be respected.

This is not to say I don't have a sense of humor. However, I have many accounts, and income streaming into each on a weekly or biweekly basis. When I have to clear multiple "Woo Hoo you got paid" notifications every week, it gets old real fast. I thought it was funny the first time. Hopefully what I'm saying is understandable.

On a secondary note, regarding the playful tone, maybe add a preference for communication tone. Formal vs Playful. It would be easy to incorporate.

Agree. I require no notifications whatsoever and would like to turn them all off.

Until Simplifi fixes this, here's the stopgap solution I'm using:

First, install the free TamperMonkey extension in your browser.

In TamperMonkey, add a new script, and replace "// Your code here…" with the following Javascript:

setInterval(function() { document.querySelector('.MuiBadge-visible').classList.remove('MuiBadge-visible').add('MuiBadge-invisible') }, 1000);

Basically this script looks for elements with the "MuiBadge-visible" class (which only exists for the notification icon as far as I can tell) and replaces that class with the "MuiBadge-invisible" class. It performs this check once per second (hence the "1000" milliseconds).

Be sure to change the @match URL (line 7) to https://app.simplifimoney.com/* (note the trailing asterisk) so this script only runs on the Simplifi app website, rather than all websites. Then choose File > Save, and you're done! I've attached a screenshot of my script for reference.
