Discord
A private Discord channel keeps alerts separate and searchable. Webhook messages can be muted or given channel-specific notification rules, but server and channel settings can override the mobile alert.
Prolific mobile notifications
Send Prolific notifications to your phone.
StudyChime can forward private study alerts from Chrome to mobile apps you already use. Choose Discord, Telegram, or Pushover and receive a phone notification when a visible study matches your settings.
How it works
Your computer monitors; your phone receives.
StudyChime runs in Chrome on the computer where you installed it. It observes the studies page you keep open and sends a message to your chosen provider when a visible study matches.
The provider's mobile app then creates the phone notification. StudyChime is not a standalone Prolific mobile app and cannot monitor studies from an iPhone or Android phone by itself.
What you need
- A computer running Chrome with StudyChime installed
- Your signed-in Prolific studies page left open
- Discord, Telegram, or Pushover installed on your phone
- Notification permission enabled for that mobile app
Setup
Connect a phone destination in four checks.
Pick the provider that already fits your routine, configure it privately, and confirm the full path with a test alert.
Choose a mobile provider
Use Discord if you want alerts in a private channel, Telegram if you prefer a bot conversation, or Pushover if you want a dedicated push-notification app.
Create the private destination
Create the webhook, bot chat, or Pushover application details required by that provider. Avoid public channels and shared communities.
Add and test the details
Enter the provider credentials in StudyChime Settings and send a test alert. Check both the desktop provider and the phone app before continuing.
Check phone notification settings
Allow notifications for the chosen app and review Focus, Do Not Disturb, battery-saving, and per-channel mute settings if tests arrive silently or late.
Practical details
Make mobile alerts reliable without making them noisy.
Delivery depends on both the provider configuration in Chrome and notification settings on the phone.
Telegram
A private chat with your own bot is lightweight and works across devices. You need the bot token and the correct chat ID, and you must start the bot before it can message you.
Pushover
Pushover is designed specifically for push notifications. It uses a user key plus an application token, making it a focused option when you do not want study alerts mixed into chat.
Delivery expectations
A successful StudyChime test proves the provider accepted the message, but phone operating systems can still delay or silence notifications. Review the app's mobile settings if the message appears without an alert.
iPhone and Android
Get Prolific alerts on your phone.
StudyChime monitors the Prolific studies page on your computer, then sends matching alerts to Discord, Telegram or Pushover on your phone.
iPhone
Getting Prolific notifications on iPhone
Choose Discord, Telegram or Pushover, install it on your iPhone, then connect the same provider in StudyChime on your computer. Allow notifications in iPhone Settings and send a test alert to confirm it reaches the correct private chat, channel or device.
If an alert arrives silently, check the app's sound settings, muted conversations and your iPhone's Focus mode. Your computer does the monitoring, so keep Chrome and your signed-in Prolific studies page open.
Android
Getting Prolific notifications on Android
Choose Discord, Telegram or Pushover, install it on your Android phone, then connect the same provider in StudyChime on your computer. Allow notifications and send a test alert to confirm it reaches the correct private destination.
If an alert arrives late or silently, check notification categories, muted chats, Do Not Disturb and battery optimisation. The exact settings vary by phone. Your computer does the monitoring; the Android app delivers the alert.
Does Prolific have a mobile app?
Prolific's mobile-app guidance says the service is available online rather than through a mobile app. Check that page for the latest official information.
StudyChime is not an official Prolific mobile app. It is an independent desktop Chrome extension that can send alerts to third-party phone apps.
Connect your preferred phone notification app
With Premium, you can also pause StudyChime directly from a phone alert. Read how to snooze StudyChime from phone alerts.
Follow the Discord webhook setup guide, Telegram bot setup guide or Pushover setup guide. If you are still choosing, compare the three phone notification methods or return to the Prolific notifications overview.
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Can I get Prolific notifications on iPhone or Android?
Yes, through the Discord, Telegram, or Pushover mobile app. StudyChime itself runs in Chrome on your computer and sends alerts to the mobile provider you configure.
Can my computer be turned off?
No. The computer running StudyChime must remain on, Chrome must be running, and the signed-in Prolific studies page must remain open for new studies to be observed.
Which phone notification method is best?
Discord suits private channel workflows, Telegram offers a simple bot chat, and Pushover offers a dedicated push-notification experience. The best choice is the private app you already check reliably.
Why did the message arrive without a phone alert?
The provider may have delivered the message while the phone silenced it. Check app notification permission, muted conversations, Focus or Do Not Disturb, battery optimisation, and channel-specific settings.
Can I send alerts to more than one phone?
Provider behaviour varies. A private Discord channel or Telegram destination may be visible on several signed-in devices, while Pushover uses the devices registered to your account. Keep every destination private.
Compare alert methods
Choose where StudyChime should notify you.
You can use one alert method or combine several. Each option still depends on the Prolific studies page being open in Chrome.
