My rest timer didn't sound

The rest timer plays a sound and vibrates when the rest ends. If it did not, work through these.

1. Check notifications are allowed

The alert is delivered as a notification, which requires notification permission.

2. On Android, check the rest timer channel

MesoMetric uses a channel named Rest timer alerts, separate from the meal-alert channel.

Muting or switching off that channel silences the rest timer, even though the timer still runs.

Check that channel in Settings → Apps → MesoMetric → Notifications.

3. Check Do Not Disturb and Focus

On Android, the rest timer channel does not override Do Not Disturb. With DND on, the alert is silent.

On iPhone, a Focus mode can withhold the notification.

4. Check your volume

Your phone's notification volume controls this sound, not the media volume.

The timer still ran

A silent alert does not stop the timer. The countdown still runs and the rest is still timed. Only the alert is affected.
