Calendar, weather and notifications

The clock's popover: calendar, weather, notification history and Do Not Disturb

Click the clock in the top bar.

Calendar

Today's full date and a month calendar (arrows change month and year). Open Calendar opens GNOME Calendar with your events.

Weather

The temperature, the sky and the next hours, for:

  1. the city chosen in the Weather app, if any;
  2. otherwise Weather's automatic location (found through GeoClue, rounded to about 10 km);
  3. otherwise the main city of your time zone.

Choosing a city in Weather updates it at once. Units follow Weather's setting, else your region. Data comes from Open-Meteo (no account, only that approximate position is sent) and is kept for 30 minutes. Click the weather to open the Weather app. Turn it off in Settings → Privacy & Security.

Notifications

New notifications pop up at the top right for a few seconds; critical ones stay. Click one to open the app that sent it; buttons on it run its actions. The popover keeps the history: Clear empties it, Do Not Disturb silences the popups.

When a notification contains a one-time code (“Your verification code is 482913”), it gets a Copy 482913 button.

Per-app choices (mute an app's notifications) are in Settings → Notifications.

Warnings Aurora sends by itself

  • Updates ready, and a restart needed to finish them;
  • the battery low (10%) and critically low (5%), and Battery Saver turning on;
  • a Bluetooth device low on battery: headphones, a mouse or a keyboard at 15% or less (once, until it has been charged again);
  • a disk nearly full, a drive plugged in.

Automatic Do Not Disturb

Like Windows' Focus Assist, Do Not Disturb can turn on by itself (Settings → Notifications → Automatic Do Not Disturb):

  • On a schedule, from and to an hour you choose (22:00–07:00 by default; off until you turn it on);
  • While an app is fullscreen: games, videos and presentations (on by default);
  • While sharing or recording the screen (on by default).

Critical notifications always show; the others wait in the list.
