PingOff is a simple app that automatically toggles Do Not Disturb based on the apps you use.

Do you like your phone quiet while reading, meditating, or playing a game? Hate getting interrupted by random notifications? Forget to turn on DND and regret it right after?

Then PingOff is the perfect app for you!

PingOff is open source and released under the GPLv3 license[1]. Feel free to browse or fork the code[2].

▸ PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS to know which app is currently running.
▸ RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED to automatically start on boot if enabled.
