4★Thank you so much. I couldn't figure out how to do this myself in automation apps, and I really needed my phone to be quiet when someone in particular likes to text multiple times in a row when I'm asleep. EDIT- sometimes if another text comes in fast enough, it'll still go off, but overall it's been helping since I installed it. The dev also reached out again after quite awhile and I assumed they had forgotten, so it was nice that they got back in touch!

5★Worth paying for. I don't know what's up with people avoiding paid apps like the plague but it's good to pay sometimes. I would much rather skip one cup of coffee for a well made, ad free, app. Instead of a free ad riddled, buggy pos. I use this because I am logged in on a company Instagram and I don't want to receive notifications from it but I cant turn it off on Instagram without turning it off for everyone who is logged into it. It works great!

5★I have been searching for this functionality for so long. No more phone exploding like someone died over some dog video in the group chat. Weird edge case, if the chat name starts with a korean character (maybe others too), it bypasses the rules and the app does not work. Maybe this will be fixed in later versions. Am using the app in english, but one chat has this exception.

5★I want my phone to use the ringer and audible notifications when I'm at home during the day but not at night and not when I'm out in public. This app lets me set a rule to only turn it off of silent when it's connected to my home Wi-Fi during the day. I've used this for three years and it's great! Another benefit is being able to cancel the stupid "x is typing" notifications from Snapchat.

5★It's really nice to take active control of notifications when you're working or busy. Some necessary apps can even start to bug you with unnecessary notifications, and this has helped with that. Edit: 8/22/25 After about 1 year of use, this is a must have application. Whether you get a lot of notifications from social media, texts, or emails, this app helps cut down the clutter. It also helps speed up certain tasks on your device such as automatic copying a verification code.
