About this app

Notifs Grapevine helps you stay updated with your favorite content sources. Monitor any Mastodon and Bluesky profiles you can input the URL of, and get their posts as notifications.

KEY FEATURES:
• Mastodon and Bluesky social media monitoring
• Real-time content notifications
• Custom notification banners (Android TV)
• Notification center panel (Android TV)
• System tray integration (Windows/Mac/Linux)
• Customizable notification modes
• Local data storage — your data stays private

ANDROID TV:
• Custom overlay pop-up notification banners
• Notification center panel accessible via long-press Back button
• Native Android TV notifications
• D-pad navigation support throughout the app

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE (Android TV only):
This app uses Android's Accessibility Service API exclusively on Android TV to detect when the physical Back button is held for 3 seconds. This single gesture opens the in-app notification center panel — allowing TV users to review recent notifications without a touchscreen. The service reads only the timing of Back button key events. It does not read screen content, clipboard, text input, passwords, app data, or any other information. No data from the Accessibility Service is stored or transmitted.

NOTIFICATION MODES:
• Custom pop-up banners (Android TV)
• Notification center panel (Android TV — long-press Back)
• Native Android notifications
• Long-press Back button only (no pop-up banners)

PRIVACY:
All data is stored locally on your device. No personal data is collected or shared. The Accessibility Service monitors only Back button press timing and transmits nothing.

Perfect for news enthusiasts, social media followers, and anyone who wants to stay informed without constantly checking their feeds!
