Notifications & sounds

OCT can get your attention three ways on the device you’re using — toasts, desktop notifications, and sounds — all in Settings → Sounds & Notifications. For phone push, see Pushover; for Discord DMs, see the Discord bot.

Toggle on-site toast alerts to get in-app popups for highlighted users, contracts, keywords, and convergence. Pick where they appear with Toast position — top/bottom × left/center/right, or center (default is top-right).

Toggle Desktop Notifications to get browser notifications when the tab isn’t focused. Enabling it asks for your browser’s notification permission; if you’ve blocked it, OCT will tell you.

A master Enable notification sounds toggle gates four independent sound channels — each with its own on/off, a preview button, a volume slider, and a sound source:

ChannelFires on
Highlighted UserA highlighted user posts
Contract AlertA contract is detected
Keyword MatchA keyword pattern matches
FOMO TradeA tracked trader trades

Sound source is one of:

  • Default — the built-in tone.
  • Preset — one of ten built-in tones (Ping, Double Ping, Rising Chime, Falling Chime, Pop, Alert, Bell, Chirp, Deep, Sparkle).
  • Custom — upload your own (.mp3, .wav, .ogg, .webm, .m4a).

Further down, Channel Sounds plays a sound for every message in specific channels — even without a highlight or keyword. Channels are grouped by server; click one to enable it, then set the same volume and source controls. Handy for a single must-not-miss channel.
