Ebb Help
Ebb gives you a heads-up before household supplies run out, and adds up what they cost you each month.
I’m not getting reminders
- Check that notifications are allowed in iPhone Settings › Notifications › Ebb.
- In the app’s Settings tab, make sure notifications are on and Pause is not active.
- Reminders only come on days when something is close to running out, at the time you set (8 PM by default). If everything has plenty left, no reminder is expected.
- Check Settings › Per-item notifications in case that item is turned off.
- A Focus mode can hide notifications.
I tapped Bought on a reminder but nothing changed
Open the app once — the new date should be there. If you tapped it by mistake, open the item and correct the amount left on its edit screen.
The estimate is off
Ebb starts from a typical household. Tap Bought a few times and it learns how fast your home actually goes through each item. To correct it right away:
- Fix the amount left — open the item and enter what is left now. If it is less than Ebb expected, the daily amount is corrected too.
- Ran out — if something ran out early, open the item and tap Ran out. It is the most accurate signal Ebb gets.
- Set it yourself — enter it under Daily amount on the item’s edit screen.
I bought a different size, or more than one
After tapping Bought, pick the size and the count. For a size that is not listed, use Another size to enter its name, amount, and price — it stays on the list from then on. Same as last time? Just tap Bought it. Changing size or count does not disturb what Ebb has learned.
I restocked before running out
Ebb asks how much was left. It starts at Ebb’s own estimate, so you can leave it — or move it to the right amount and Ebb learns the pace more accurately. Tap the number to type an exact amount.
