BuzzKill
Sometimes managing notifications on your phone can be a challenge. Not only because notifications can sometimes not arrive or come in with a delay, but also because there can simply be a lot. BuzzKill gives you more options to personalize notification behavior for individual apps.
Suppose you quickly receive several apps in succession, then you do not want your phone to vibrate again and again. BuzzKill has a solution for that with its ‘Cooldown’ feature for apps that just send you a notification once. On the other hand, there is an ‘Alarm’ for notifications that must necessarily attract your attention. Your phone will then make an alarm sound until you stop it. This feature works with security systems from Nest and Ring, among others.

Undo, Snooze and own rules
There are also notifications that you just always want to see first when you swipe down. For example, think of notifications from your agenda or to-do list. You can pin such notifications at the top from now on. There’s also a clever ‘Undo’ feature that gives you up to 10 seconds after swiping a notification to undo the action. Do you only want to see notifications from certain apps after work? With Snooze you can set the times yourself.
BuzzKill, as you can see, includes a whole host of useful features that allow you to fully tailor your experience to each major apps. It is also useful that you can determine your own rules for notifications from an app, such as the option to only receive notifications when a certain word is included.
Privacy
The good thing about this app is that it is very privacy-friendly, because information never leaves your phone and BuzzKill has no internet access. BuzzKill is for sale in the Google Play Store for 2.59 euros, but with that you unlock all functions and you have an experience without ads.
