1.0.4 is live on Google Play

1.0.4, Sep 30

  • A notification Doorman is holding now always has a delivery scheduled behind it, even after you switch the digest off.

  • The code check reads every line of a list and every message in a conversation, and a notification whose content Android won't let Doorman read is never held.

1.0.3 is live on Google Play

1.0.3, Sep 28

  • With push switched off, Doorman no longer starts the OneSignal SDK at all, so a phone that never switched push on tells OneSignal nothing.

  • While batching is on, notifications Doorman lets through, such as verification codes, now always stay in the notification shade. Android clears a whole bundle when its summary notification goes, so Doorman never holds a summary. Each notification in the bundle is still judged on its own. The on-device test now forms a bundle while batching is on and checks that everything Doorman let through is still there.

1.0.2, Sep 24

  • If Android is blocking Doorman's digest, held notifications now stay held instead of being marked delivered.

  • The digest marks as delivered only what it actually showed you.

  • Switching on push asks for notification permission once, not twice.

Launching Doorman on Sep 24

Doorman reports signal rate for each app on your phone: the share of its notifications you actually open. Android reports whether a notification was opened or swiped away, so the number comes from your own behaviour rather than a guess.

On the test phone one news app posted 209 notifications in a week and none of them were opened.

The paid tier holds the apps you switch on and delivers them together on your interval. Verification codes, calls, alarms and messages are never held.

It is on Play now and launching here on Sep 24. If you have an Android phone and a worst offender in mind, I want to know whether the number matches what you expected.

Doorman - See which apps waste your attention, then make them wait

Doorman reads notification metadata on your phone and reports signal rate: the share of an app's notifications you actually open. The free half gives you that number per app, a bill ranking the worst offenders, and a chart of when they arrive. The paid tier holds the noisy ones at the door and delivers them together on an interval you pick. Verification codes, calls, alarms and messages are never held. It all runs on the device and notification data never leaves it. No accessibility service.
