Hi Product Hunt! 👋

I'm Gideon, a solo developer from Germany, and Removication is my answer to a small but very real problem: your phone screen isn't always just yours.

You hand your phone to a friend to show a photo, it lies face-up on the desk at work, you share your screen in a call – and that's exactly when a private message slides in. Android's own tools only go so far: Do Not Disturb is all or nothing, muted notifications still sit on the screen, and the lock-screen setting stops working the moment you unlock.

What Removication does

• You pick the apps that shouldn't show up. One tap – in the app, on a home-screen widget or in Quick Settings – and their notifications disappear. Even the ones already on screen.

• Nothing gets lost: everything waits in the Notification Catcher, and a tap opens the original app.

• As precise as you want: a whole app, only certain kinds of its notifications, a single sender, or time windows (e.g. private apps hidden on weekdays 9–5).

• Or censor instead of hiding: a neutral "1 new notification", without app name, sender or text.

Built for the moment someone else holds your phone

Switching off never brings hidden notifications back to the screen, the widget doesn't show a count, and the Catcher can be locked with its own PIN. Calls, alarms and emergency alerts always get through.

Privacy

No account, no cloud – notification content never leaves the phone. The free version shows a small Google banner that never sees your notifications; Premium is a one-time purchase (no subscription) and removes it.
