App summary

BuzzKill allows you to see the notifications you need to see when you need to see them and filter out everything else 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 - Automatically reply to a message if you haven't seen it after a while
• Remind me - Keep reminding 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 so they fit your schedule
• Alarm - Get your attention such as for a security camera notification
• Secret - Hide the content of the notification
• And many more...

FAQ: https://buzzkill.super.site/
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.

Does BuzzKill work with phone calls?
Unfortunately phone calls work very differently to notifications and they have limited support in BuzzKill. E.g. you can't set a custom vibration or sound for a phone call, but you can use the unsilence rule to temporarily allow a phone call to unsilence your rule based on the time/location/phone number that is calling.

Amazing app makes notifications useful again, and so much more. Also LOVE that it's ONE TIME PURCHASE of $3.99 and you are done. No ongoing subscription or "free" option that actually costs WAY more, while doing WAY less, the actual purpose only to collect information on you so they can sell it. Because just bombarding you advertisements constantly isn't enough for those greedy people. Support apps, like this one, that are funded by, and allow, a one-time PURCHASE.

Works great. My only gripe is that is has a setting for location, and asks for location permissions, but then the location option is based purely on which Wi-Fi network you're connected to. This does not work for me, since I don't connect to my work's Wi-Fi with my phone.

This might be the best $4 I have spent in PlayStore! I originally purchased Buzzkill to deal with the endless streams of coin messages from Temu & AliExpress that can't be squelched by turning off all notifications in the respective apps. I can now turn order notifications back on without being deluged by "special offers". It has also eliminated constant reminders from AppMgr III to move apps to the SD card & gotten rid of boilerplate messages such as "virus protection is working".
