Chumo on your phone

Install it, and get notified.

Chumo installs to your home screen like an app. No store, no download, a few hundred KB.

Installing

On iPhone, notifications only work from the installed app. In a Safari tab you can't even be asked. This is the single most common reason people think push is broken.

Notifications

Once installed, allow notifications and your phone buzzes when a gift lands, someone joins, or a sale goes through. Nothing else — we don't send marketing.

Turn individual types off in Settings → Emails, and push on or off in Settings → Your phone. Receipts and payout confirmations always send, because nobody should be able to switch off the message telling them money moved.

Offline

Pages you've already opened stay readable without signal. Anything involving money needs a connection — a stale balance is worse than no balance.
