OBLOM: Saves & Reads MSG

About this app

OBLOM creates an automatic local archive of incoming notifications from apps for which Android grants notification access. It can also save and link accessible related media when Android or the source app makes them available.

SAVE NOTIFICATIONS AND MESSAGES

OBLOM stores incoming notification cards locally on your device. Depending on the notification, a card can contain the app, sender, message text, time and other available details.

If a source app later reports a deletion and Android notification data allows a reliable match, OBLOM can mark the previously saved card as deleted. This lets you view messages that were saved before they disappeared.

OBLOM cannot recover notifications, messages or files that were never received by the app, and it does not directly access private encrypted chats.

READ NOTIFICATIONS ALOUD

Hear notification text through the Android text-to-speech engine. Choose an available voice and adjust speech speed, pitch and volume. Pause, resume, stop or skip spoken notifications. Availability depends on the installed speech engine and voice data.

RELATED MEDIA AND FILES

When accessible media is available, OBLOM can link photos, videos, voice messages and audio files to the corresponding saved notification.

The app can obtain supported media from notification data provided by the source app and from Android's shared media library using system media access. Matching uses available notification context, file type, filename and time.

You can also add files manually through Import or send compatible files to OBLOM through Android's Share menu. Documents and other file types may require manual import or sharing if Android does not expose them automatically.

ARCHIVE TOOLS

• Search and filter saved cards
• Organize records by app and sender
• View previously saved deleted messages when reliable matching is possible

LOCAL PRIVACY

Saved notification records and copied files remain on your device. OBLOM does not use VALO Studio cloud storage or automatic cloud synchronization for your archive.

IMPORTANT

OBLOM can save only information that becomes available after installation, setup and the required Android permissions. Disabled notifications, muted or restricted notification delivery, battery restrictions, Android media and storage limitations, inaccessible app-private data and differences between source apps may prevent some messages or files from being saved or linked.

OBLOM is not a messaging app, general file manager, cloud backup service or forensic recovery tool. It is independent and is not affiliated with the apps whose notifications you choose to archive.
