The free Android app DoNotNotify offers users a method to manage notifications by setting personalized filters. This option helps in dealing with distracting notifications while ensuring important ones are not missed.
How DoNotNotify Works
Upon granting access to notifications, DoNotNotify logs incoming alerts and allows users to create custom rules. The app provides two filtering methods: a whitelist, which displays only select notifications; and a blacklist, which blocks specific alerts. Users can tailor their experience by including or excluding notifications based on specific titles, text, or sender criteria.
- The whitelist can be set for notifications containing keywords like "credit score" for financial updates.
- The blacklist blocks messages from certain senders, such as disruptive group chat participants.
Privacy Considerations
While the app requires access to your notification data to function, privacy concerns are notable. However, the developer guarantees that no personal data is collected or shared.
Who Benefits from DoNotNotify
DoNotNotify is particularly beneficial for those who wish to fine-tune their notification alerts on Android devices. It allows users to maintain control over the type and source of notifications reaching their phones, without opting to disable entire apps.
