A badly-timed notification made me build this app.
It was a football night. My friends were into it. I was not.
I appreciate a game once in a while — the atmosphere, a funny night out. But that particular evening I was at a pub, a match on every screen, and I found myself drifting. There was a girl sitting alone at the bar. She had the same look I probably had: went out with friends, ended up at the wrong event. I walked over, asked if she was looking for company since I wasn’t watching the game either. She seemed genuinely relieved. She invited me to sit, asked what I was drinking, and we started talking. It felt natural.
I’d just come back from a trip and she asked about it. I pulled out my phone to show her some pictures.
That’s when a Bumble notification appeared. Full banner, the app icon, the whole thing. Visible to both of us. I dismissed it without saying anything and kept swiping through the photos.
Nothing catastrophic happened. But it was avoidable. The kind of small friction that shouldn’t exist.
Right after, I went to the Play Store looking for a simple solution: something that would let me silence specific apps without digging through settings every time or going full Do Not Disturb.
There were plenty of options. But every single one had a fatal flaw — ads, suspicious permissions, data shared with third parties I'd never heard of. For an app that sits on top of all your notifications, that felt wrong.
So I built it myself. Zero ads. Zero data collected. Nothing leaves your device. Just clean, selective notification control.
Here we go. 🚀
