Comments on BuzzKill Notification Manager for Android

★★★★★ Eli · May 24, 2026

One of the best apps hands down. Great ui, great features, great developers, no data harvesting or selling, and even works great with Tasker. BuzzKill such a great app, and paired with Tasker, you can have tasker apply BuzzKill actions whenever. So, for example, I have my tasker setup for when I arrive home, it uses Hail through Izuku to hide work apps that have notifications that persist through dnd (like teams and outlook), then enables my buzzkill rule to block the notifications.

★★★★★ Horia Gheorghiescu · Jul 4, 2026

Most useful app for android. These days, almost every app has something to display in notification area. With Buzzkill, you can tidy up that area very easy. I know you can customize notifications from the settings, but I have some apps who display useless notifications. I need notifications from these apps but not all of them. Very simple, intuitive and efficient. Love it !!

★☆☆☆☆ Lukas Franko · May 17, 2026

Unfortunately this application doesn't work if you use a smartwatch for notifications. Doesn't intercept them at all, they notify on the watch as usual. I requested a refund, but that was declined as "this purchase doesn't qualify for a refund under our refund policy".

★☆☆☆☆ U · May 5, 2026

Constantly freezing. Constantly need to force close the app. Sometimes multiple times and still won't work. Great app when its working. And I would love to be able to easily toggle my rule on and off with a widget. Please fix this app and add widget, and I would gladly pay double. Never needed or wanted a widget from an app before, but I think this would be the perfect app for it.

★☆☆☆☆ Drew Ohlendorf · Jul 17, 2026

Doesn't actually dismiss notifications most the time. I have a rule set that when an app shows any notification that BuzzKill will automatically dismiss it. BuzzKill will show me that it sees the notification and the filters that are set should trigger the rule, yet it never does. I have to manually dismiss it for the app. Kind of defeats having BuzzKill in the first place. If you aren't sure if this will work for you, go find a crack .apk of this app (there's plenty) and test it for a month.

Trust & Safety: BuzzKill requests a broad set of permissions (location, network state, notifications, foreground service, exact alarm, biometric usage, Bluetooth, and more) and explicitly describes privacy-focused behavior: no internet access by default, optional accessibility service for automation, and data that remains on-device with no data leaving the device. This combination emphasizes a privacy- and security-conscious approach while providing powerful on-device notification management.
