Notification and Sound Settings

Smara lets you control when and how you receive notifications, as well as audio playback preferences.

Notification Settings

Go to Profile > Notification Settings to manage:

• Daily Panchang — Receive a morning summary of the day's tithi, nakshatra, and auspicious timings.
• Sadhana reminders — Get a gentle reminder to complete your daily spiritual practice.
• Event alerts — Be notified before events you have RSVPed to.
• Sangam activity — Receive updates when there is new activity in your Sangam groups.

Quiet Hours

Set a quiet hours window to pause all notifications during meditation, sleep, or other times you prefer not to be disturbed. Navigate to Notification Settings > Quiet Hours and set your preferred start and end times.

Sound Settings

• Mantra playback volume — Controlled by your device volume. Use your device's media volume to adjust.
• Notification sound — You can enable or disable notification sounds from your device's system settings for the Smara app.
• Background audio — Smara supports background audio playback so mantras continue playing when you switch to other apps or lock your screen.

Troubleshooting
