Tell me when it matters.
A report on a schedule is a rhythm — useful, and easy to stop reading. A signal is an exception. It watches one thing, emails you the once when that thing happens, and then it is finished.
Watch it fire, once
A goal drifting off pace. One email. Then it's done.

2For three weeks it says nothing at all. Silence is the feature. A tool that pings you daily is one you stop reading.
3On the 22nd it fires — once. Not a digest, not a reminder tomorrow. Once.

What happens, step by step
You set what to watch
A goal you already have, going off track — or a date you pick. Nothing else to configure.
Glance checks it for real, every hour
Never a stored guess — your goal's pace is worked out fresh each time, the same way it is anywhere else in Glance.
The moment it's true, it fires — once
An email goes out (Slack or WhatsApp too, on plans with chat delivery), and that's it.
It won't repeat itself
No digest, no reminder tomorrow. Re-arm it yourself if you want it watching again.
One thing worth an email, for whoever needs it
For you
"Tell me if I go over $600 on groceries this month." Set it once, from a goal you already have, and stop checking the number yourself.
For your business
"Tell me if cash on hand drops under a month's costs." The one number worth an email, not a dashboard you have to remember to open.
For your company
"Tell me the moment Q3 revenue is confirmed." One signal, sent to whoever needs to know, the day it's true.
What a signal will never do
It never repeats itself
No digest, no re-nagging after it's fired. It fires once, then it's done, until you re-arm it yourself.
It shares your report allowance, on purpose
A signal and a scheduled report are the same promise from your side — Glance will email you — so there's no separate, uncapped inbox to end up ignoring.
It can't watch just anything
Only a goal you've already set, or a date. Never an arbitrary metric — so there's nothing to misconfigure.
It never nags after the deadline
Once a goal's period has ended, it stops watching. There's nothing left to fix, so it has nothing left to say.
Why so few alerts, on purpose
Every monitoring product ends up training people to ignore it. The way that happens is always the same: alerting is free to add, so more gets added, and the ones that mattered arrive alongside the ones that never did.
