Ask when a new video starts
Get a quiet notification for each new episode so you can skip the fade before it happens.
Some nights you know you’ll stay awake for the next episode. Ask when a new video starts lets you say so ahead of time.
Turn it on
- Open Settings in the moon menu.
- Turn on Ask when a new video starts.
- When macOS asks, allow notifications for SleepFade.
What happens
During your sleep hours, about 30 seconds after a new video starts playing, SleepFade shows a silent notification. Choose:
- Don’t fade this one: SleepFade skips this episode and fades the next.
- Stop for Tonight: no fading until tomorrow night.
Or ignore it, and the fade happens as usual.
Only for videos over 20 min (on by default) stops it from asking about every song or short clip.
Not seeing the notification?
Check System Settings > Notifications > SleepFade and make sure notifications are allowed. SleepFade’s notifications are silent on purpose, so they appear without a sound.
Still stuck? Ask the assistant or email us.
