BuzzKill Notification Manager

Sam Ruston

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.

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.

Ratings and reviews

This app is great for many reasons. One in particular I kept hearing a notifications and never see a notification in my phone. Driving me nuts. I check my devices notification settings. Nothing! BuzzKill was able to identify the two culprits. Two continuous notifications: Samsung health, and Google messages connecting to my computer. Muted both notifications with BuzzKill. It was worth the money just for that.

I tried ~5 different rules, ended up turning them off because of bugs, restrictions, or undesired side effects. Don't blame the app for the last two, it's just not for me. Edit 2: "Contact support" didn't work for me. Dev responded promptly to this & issued a refund. This is a neat app and I like the design, I just want more granular control & it was too buggy on my device.

Fantastic notification manager. I mainly use this to filter spammy notifications from my college and to restore notifications I've accidentally dismissed. Another favorite feature of Buzzkill is repeating notifications I may have missed, like texts (saved me multiple times). The notification search is incredibly useful as well. I've used similar apps but I like the features and UI of this one the most, very battery efficient too. Well worth the $5.
