Notification History

History Panel

View past notifications:

• Access via the Notification History panel or the Inbox panel
• Shows recent notification entries with feed icons and thumbnails when available
• Progressive batch rendering: Uses IntersectionObserver to render items incrementally in batches (50 to 80 cards). This prevents DOM explosion and UI freezing even with 1,000+ stored notifications.
• Adaptive badges: The top-bar notification badge automatically adopts your active theme accent color. If stored notifications reach the configured history limit, the badge switches to a red limit warning indicator.
• Batched event throttling: Real-time incoming notifications during background feed fetching are throttled with 500ms batching to ensure zero UI lag.
• Clear history option to remove all stored entries

History Settings

Tray History

The system-tray menu includes a real-time synchronized Recent notifications submenu. Select an item to open its article, or choose View all notifications to open the full history panel.
