Android notification manager

Fewer interruptions. More control.

Pingfold gives every app a simple default: keep its notifications Immediate, collect them for a scheduled Digest, or Block the noise you do not need.

Local-first notification control. Notification content is not uploaded to Pingfold servers for processing.

Simple by design

Control notifications without becoming an automation engineer.

Start with one choice per app. Add an Exception only when a specific case deserves different treatment.

Immediate

Keep important alerts available right away.

Use Immediate for the apps that should continue to behave normally.

Digest

Batch noisy apps into calmer review windows.

Choose scheduled times or intervals, then review waiting notifications together.

Block

Dismiss notification noise you do not need.

Use Block intentionally for apps whose alerts should not stay in the shade.

A simpler daily routine

Choose the apps. Set the timing. Catch up when you are ready.

Start with the free controls. You can keep important apps Immediate, choose one global Digest schedule for the apps that can wait, and review delivered items in Inbox.

  1. 01 / Choose

    Make a choice per app

    Choose Immediate, Digest, or Block. Add an Exception for a case that needs different treatment.

  2. 02 / Schedule

    Decide when to look

    Use scheduled times, an interval, or manual delivery. Android power settings can delay delivery.

  3. 03 / Catch up

    Open the Digest in Inbox

    Review what was delivered, then clear retained items when you no longer need them.

New in 1.1.0: Review setup before saving, catch up on delivered Digests grouped by app, and choose which apps keep local previews. Available now on Google Play. App lock is free; Profiles, extra themes and settings transfer are PRO. Explore the new controls.

More control when you need it

The useful depth is there, without making it the first thing you learn.

Quiet repeated pings

Use Quiet Repeats when one noisy conversation or app keeps asking for attention in a short window.

Remind yourself later

Bring a selected notification back after a delay instead of turning your entire notification history into a task list.

Focus temporarily

Hold selected apps during a Focus session, then return to your normal setup when the session ends.

See what happened

Review recent notification activity and the rule or behavior that determined how a notification was handled.

Local-first privacy

Notification content stays out of Pingfold's servers.

Core notification routing, retained notification content, rules, history, Focus, and app settings remain on your device.

No notification content uploaded for processing
No advertising ID or ad SDK
App backup and device transfer disabled
Usage analytics and crash diagnostics are user-controlled
