Tell this app to look for keywords that junk notifications typically use and dismiss them automatically. Easy to use - the app even guides you through everything. No in-app purchase or monthly or annual payment that gets expensive long term. Just one time payment to prevent junk notifications. Totally worth it in today's world where food delivery, shopping, and mobile carrier apps send constant notification begging for you to buy multiple times a day. Thank you developer. You're a godsend.

This app is a godsend. I wish it had an option of letting a notification buzz once and that's it. The cool down option kind of does this but setting a time limit is not always best depending on what app you're using it on. Sometimes it let's something you've set a rule for slip through though. Idk if this is possible but it would be amazing if it could detect spam/out of state phone calls to dismiss, but I might just go and enter every area code for dismiss to see if that helps with the spam!

This is the best thing to have *ever* happened to notifications for me. I stopped using DND and muting some people to avoid the "flood of notifications" when chatting w someone. Love it.

I was very sceptical that this would work on my Galaxy S21 Ultra, especially as I have other Notification utilities running. But it absolutely does work, I tested it on several apps and notifications flawlessly. Very impressed so far. Also has a great intuitive interface (colour theming would be a nice addition though)

I was on a walk today, and thought... "I'm sick of being interrupted every time some app wants me to think about it, or a co-worker Slacks me something that can wait an hour. There should be an app that lets users bundle notifications to be released in batches at scheduled intervals.... What if my wife or boss texts me? OK, it would need to let the user carve out exceptions (people, apps, content).... How would it make money? A subscription would be offensive; a small one-time purchase fee sounds right.... Hey, this is a legitimately great app idea! I'll bet someone else already came up with it and built it better than I would have.".... I was right! BuzzKill is this app, and it's better than I would have made it. Clean, intuitive UI. The right price. No nefarious data-harvesting. Makes it easy to validate rules by showing what recent notifications they would apply to. What a great app this is.

Beautifully done, and works quite well. I've reclaimed quite a bit of my phone time back.

About this app

BuzzKill allows you to see the notifications you want to see when you want to see them and filter out those you don't. Here is just a taste of what BuzzKill can do:

• Cooldown - Don't get buzzed multiple times when someone messages you multiple times in quick succession
• Custom alert - Set a custom sound or vibration pattern for a specific contact or phrase
• Dismiss - Automatically swipe away any notification you don't want to see, without hiding all notifications for that app
• Reply - Reply to a message if you haven't seen it after a while
• Vibration - Custom vibration for apps or contacts. Know who is messaging you without looking at your phone
• Remind me - Keep buzzing you until you see a notification
• Undo - Gives you a second chance to tap on a notification when you accidentally swipe it away
• Snooze - Receive your notifications in batches to make them fit your schedule
• Alarm - Get your attention such as for a security camera notification
• Secret - Hide the content of the notification
• And many more...

BuzzKill is privacy first. There are no ads, no trackers and no data ever leaves your device. Unlike pretty much every app on your phone and the Play Store it doesn't have access to the internet (you can check) so you can be sure that your data is safe.

Wear OS
BuzzKill has a companion app for Wear OS that allows you to trigger certain actions on the watch based on the rules that the phone triggers. For example you can create a rule in BuzzKill to trigger an alarm when you receive a certain notification. With the BuzzKill companion app, you can have the alarm show up on your watch too.

Accessibility Service API
BuzzKill includes an optional accessibility service that allows it automate certain actions on your device. For example you set BuzzKill to automatically tap a button in a notification. No data is collected and no data leaves the device. You do not need to enable the accessibility service unless you create a rule that uses it.
