Flip DND: Flip to shhh..shush!

About this app

Focus on your life, not your phone! Flip phone to shhh (or shush)..

It's that easy. Just flip your phone screen down, wait 2 seconds, and no more distractions. Pick it up and be instantly available.

Minimal battery impact and super easy to use.

CAUTION: The app will not work reliably for users with a virtual proximity sensor - some manufacturers fake the proximity sensor with a touch sensor instead of a real proximity sensor!

For example Samsung S10 and S20 - https://sites.google.com/view/glimpse-notifications/startseite/samsung_s10_issues

Ratings and reviews

I went through the reviews to see that it doesn't work with virtual proximity sensor phones (Samsung does this). Only issue is I think my S25 Ultra has both a physical and virtual proximity sensor and for some reason this app can not access my physical proximity sensor to work. Also it would be nice to have this info in the app. A warning that pops up if the physical proximity sensor can't be accessed. Or adding it somewhere more visible on the app store page.

I have been using this on my Google Pixel XL forl months, and it has performed exactly as I expect it to. My only problem is with the operator... me, as I sometimes inadvertently put my phone face-down, forgetting that is what activates the app, when I don't intend to have it in Do Not Disturb mode. If I'm paying attention, the app's double vibrate notification catches my attention, and I flip the phone over to return to normal mode. I can't think of anything the app can do to train me better.

This app is great; simple and functional. I've never had an issue with it turning DND on when it shouldn't have. It's exactly the functionality that I had hoped Android would have actually supplied with Digital Wellbeing. At first, I thought the sound effect was gimmicky, but I've grown to appreciate it quite a bit as grow used to it's functionality. What would make this a 5-star app ould be the ability to change the activation sound, and whether to use the media or ringer volume for that sound.
