DoNotNotify

Block unwanted notifications with customizable rules
New in version 7.0
• New: Throttle rules let one matching notification through, then block repeats for a set time. Thanks to nkay08!
• New: Rules can apply only while your phone is in use (screen on and unlocked), or only while it isn't.
• New: Creating a rule from History opens the wizard, already filled in. As you type, it shows which notifications your filters match.
• Changed: An AllowList rule limited to certain hours no longer blocks the app's other notifications outside them.
DoNotNotify lets you filter and block unwanted notifications using customizable rules.

Features:

• Notification Blocking - Block notifications in real-time
• Flexible Rules - Create denylist (block matching) or allowlist (allow only matching) rules
• Pattern Matching - Match notification title/text using simple contains or regex patterns
• Conditional Rules - Limit rules to specific hours, or to when your phone is (or isn't) in use
• Throttling - Let one matching notification through, then block repeats for a set time
• Prebuilt Rules - 40+ pre-configured rules for popular apps (e-commerce promos, social media, etc.)
• Auto-Install Rules - Automatically adds relevant prebuilt rules when you install supported apps
• Notification History - View all received notifications with configurable retention
• Blocked History - Track which notifications were blocked and by which rules
• Import/Export - Backup and restore your rules as JSON files
• Fully Offline - No network permissions, no data collection

How It Works:

1. Grant notification listener permission when prompted
2. View incoming notifications in the History tab
3. Long-press a notification to create a blocking rule, or browse prebuilt rules
4. Blocked notifications appear in the Blocked tab
5. Tap any blocked notification to view details or edit the rule that blocked it

This app requires notification listener permission to function. It has no network access. Notification history is stored locally and excluded from Android backups. Android may back up your rules and settings when system backup is enabled.

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
