expo-scheduled-notifications-dev-plugin

An Expo DevTools plugin to inspect and cancel your app's locally scheduled notifications from the browser during development.

It reads the pending notifications registered with expo-notifications and shows their title, body, trigger (date / interval / daily / weekly / monthly / yearly / calendar), next fire time, identifier and full raw payload. You can cancel individual notifications or all of them at once.

This plugin is read-only aside from cancelling — it does not schedule notifications for you.

Installation

npx expo install expo-scheduled-notifications-dev-plugin

This plugin requires expo and expo-notifications (peer dependencies), which you almost certainly already have if you're scheduling notifications.

Usage

Call the hook once, near the root of your app (for example in App.tsx or your root layout):

import { useScheduledNotificationsDevTools } from 'expo-scheduled-notifications-dev-plugin';

export default function App() {
  useScheduledNotificationsDevTools({
    // Optional but recommended: surface any errors from the DevTools bridge.
    errorHandler: (error) => console.warn('[scheduled-notifications devtools]', error),
  });

  // ...rest of your app
}

The hook is a no-op in production builds, so it's safe to leave in place.

Opening the plugin

While running your app with npx expo start, press Shift + m in the terminal to open the DevTools menu, then select expo-scheduled-notifications-dev-plugin. The plugin UI opens in your browser and connects to the running app.
