Activity and digests
A quiet feed of what's happening in your cohort, plus push notifications when something meaningful happens — never noise for noise's sake.
The activity feed
The Activity feed sits below the leaderboard on the Cohort tab. It surfaces the most recent 10 events in your cohort, newest first. Each row shows:
- A small green trending-up icon.
- A title — what happened.
- A short body — context.
- A relative timestamp (
just now,12m ago,3h ago,2d ago).
A See all in notifications link at the bottom routes to your notifications inbox where the full history lives.
Typical events you'll see:
- A cohortmate just crossed 80% readiness.
- A cohortmate completed a phase.
- A cohortmate completed a milestone.
- A cohortmate logged a mock test that moved their rank.
Identities stay anonymized — events reference handles like Storage Scholar #4217, never real names.
Group push notifications
Some events are big enough that I push them to every cohort member. The clearest example: when a cohortmate's readiness crosses 80% for the first time, a cohort_update notification fans out to everyone else in the cohort:
A cohortmate just crossed 80% Storage Scholar #4217 is ready for the gauntlet — the leaderboard is shifting.
This serves two purposes. It tells the rest of the cohort the field is moving, and it puts gentle pressure on anyone hovering at 70 to push the last 10 points. The 80% threshold matters because it's the gauntlet unlock and a precondition for the pass guarantee.
I do not push for every session, every milestone, or every rank change. That would be noise.
The weekly digest
Once a week (run by the daily-jobs cron), each cohort member receives a digest push summarizing the past 7 days:
- How many cohortmates studied this week.
- How many crossed 80%.
- Your rank delta over the week.
- A short
ARIA line with what to focus on next.
The digest exists so you don't have to open the Cohort tab to know whether you're falling behind the pack. If you're drifting, the digest will tell you.
Notification controls
Every cohort push respects your notification settings. If you've muted ClaudeLab in iOS or Android settings, or disabled the cohort_update channel in the in-app notification preferences, the events still log to your notifications inbox — they just won't surface as banners or sounds.
The activity feed and digest are pull-vs-push for the same data. If you don't want push notifications but want to stay current, mute them and check the Cohort tab once a day. The feed always reflects the truth, regardless of which alerts you accepted.
Cohorts are a Pro and above feature. On the free plan you won't receive cohort pushes or digests — there's no cohort to fan out to.
