Notifications

Know what changed in your legal diary

Hearing dates, tasks and diary updates all come to one place. The notification bell on your home screen keeps a list of what needs your attention, and push notifications reach you when the app is closed.

One place for everything that needs attention

A practice produces a steady stream of small updates, such as a date coming up or a task that needs doing. These are easy to lose in WhatsApp groups and paper notes.

The Advocate Diary gathers them in one notification list, connected to your diary, so you can see what needs attention and act on it.
