Desktop notifications let you receive Minut alerts directly in your web browser - useful for property managers and reception teams working at a computer who want to catch noise events, sensor alerts, and occupancy changes without checking their phone. They send the same events as mobile push notifications.
Desktop notifications require an open browser window. You must be signed into the Minut web app at web.minut.com and have your browser open to receive them. They are not delivered if the browser is closed.

Enable desktop notifications
Open your account settings
Sign in to web.minut.com → click your name or organisation in the top left corner → click Notifications
Toggle Web app notifications on
Find the Web app notifications toggle and turn it on.
Allow in your browser
Your browser will show a permission prompt asking whether to allow notifications from Minut. Click Allow.
Edge users: the Allow button may be partially hidden behind the browser's address bar- scroll up in the permission prompt if you don't see it immediately.
Once set up, desktop notifications appear in your system notification area — clicking one opens the relevant event directly in the web app.
Troubleshooting
The toggle is on but I'm not receiving notifications
Check that your browser has permission to show notifications from Minut. In Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → Notifications → find support.minut.com and ensure it is set to Allow. In Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Notifications. Also confirm the browser window is open and you are signed in.
Notifications are appearing on my computer but not for all events
Desktop notifications mirror your push notification settings. If a category is turned off in your notification preferences (for example, presence detection), it will not appear as a desktop notification either. Check your notification preferences in Account → Notifications.
I accidentally clicked Block in the browser permission prompt
In Chrome: go to Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → Notifications → find support.minut.com in the Blocked list → change to Allow. In Edge: go to Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Notifications → find and update the permission. Then reload the Minut web app.
