Alert preferences — The Lineup app

The “on your terms” half, made into a screen

Pull-not-push only holds if the user can actually tune the push. This screen is the control panel: turn whole types of alert on or off, and mute individual bands or venues without unfollowing them. It opens with the promise stated plainly — because the promise is the brand — and renders in the lightened sub-screen grammar.

Alerts

You’ll only ever be told about things you chose to follow. Nothing algorithmic, nothing marketing — ever.

What you’re alerted about

New shows

When a band or venue you follow announces something

Event reminders

A day before and the day of things you’re tracking

Venue updates & offers

New events or specials from places you follow

The Weekend Lineup

A Thursday note with your weekend, in your city

Starting soon

A heads-up right before doors — off by default

The Weekend Lineup’s on by default — we figure you’ll want a hand planning the weekend. Like everything here, it’s yours to switch off.

Muted — followed, but quiet

The National

Still on your Following list

The Mill

Still on your Following list

Mute anything from its page or the Following list — it stays followed, it just stops pinging.

Timing

Quiet hours

No pings 10 PM–8 AM, your local time

What to look at

Control isn’t a settings afterthought here — it’s the half of the feature that makes the other half allowed.

1The promise is the first thing you read

Before any toggle: “only ever things you chose to follow — nothing algorithmic, nothing marketing.” Stating it here, on the control screen, is what lets the alerts themselves be warm and frequent-ish without ever feeling like a marketing channel.

2Per-type toggles map 1:1 to the voice system

New shows · event reminders · venue updates · Weekend Lineup · starting-soon — the exact alert types in Alert voice and Systems’ generic engine. Turn off a whole class you don’t want; the rest keep working.

3“Starting soon” is off by default

It’s the one type the timing model marks opt-in — useful for a few people, noise for most. Shipped visible but dark, so the people who want it can find it and nobody else gets surprised.

4Mute ≠ unfollow

The per-entity mute is the pressure-release valve: keep a band on your Following list (you still see its dates when you look) but stop the pings. This is what makes Follow safe to tap freely — following never commits you to noise.

5Quiet hours, local time

No 3 AM buzzes — and “your local time” is deliberate, given TLU’s recurring timezone-bug history. “Tonight” has to mean tonight where the user actually is. Flagged here so the build treats tz as load-bearing, not cosmetic.
