BuzzKill Notification Manager

Sam Ruston

About this app

BuzzKill allows you to see the notifications you need to see when you need to see them and filter out everything else 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 - Automatically reply to a message if you haven't seen it after a while
• Remind me - Keep reminding 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 so they fit your schedule
• Alarm - Get your attention such as for a security camera notification
• Secret - Hide the content of the notification
• And many more...

FAQ: https://buzzkill.super.site/
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.

Looking for a free trial?
BuzzKill cannot connect to the internet to verify purchases, so it does not offer a free trial in the app. However if you're not happy with your purchase, please press the contact support button in the app and I'll refund your order if you're outside of Google Play's returns period.

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.

Does BuzzKill work with phone calls?
Unfortunately phone calls work very differently to notifications and they have limited support in BuzzKill. E.g. you can't set a custom vibration or sound for a phone call, but you can use the unsilence rule to temporarily allow a phone call to unsilence your rule based on the time/location/phone number that is calling.

Ratings and reviews

pretty good, really like the snooze until time feature, but I notice some rules don't run if another rule already applied, and it doesn't seem like there's a way to sequence the rules ourselves? buzzkill sets the sequence. would rate 5 if I could sequence the rules or set 'IF: rule A THEN, ELSE rule B THEN, ELSE rule C' logic. trying to set several rules, specific to apps and messages, then give 'snooze until' on everything else.

This app is one of those little gems that of course you could live without, but your phone would be much more annoying! I'm not massively into smart home or anything, but there's still a lot of notifications that can be a distraction. For example, I always have my phone on silent but I do want to hear an actual sound when it's my front door bell... However, if my phone is on do not disturb then I don't want it to do that. With BuzzKill those kinds of silly little tweaks are dead easy.

Worth paying for. I don't know what's up with people avoiding paid apps like the plague but it's good to pay sometimes. I would much rather skip one cup of coffee for a well made, ad free, app. Instead of a free ad riddled, buggy pos. I use this because I am logged in on a company Instagram and I don't want to receive notifications from it but I cant turn it off on Instagram without turning it off for everyone who is logged into it. It works great!
