━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚫 BLOCK BY APP ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Add any app to your block list in one tap. Notifications are silently cancelled before they reach your status bar — no badge, no sound, no interruption. A full history of everything blocked is kept so you never miss anything important.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏰ SCHEDULING — Block by time ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Set time windows when blocking activates automatically. Block work apps after 6pm. Silence social media during focus hours. Auto-activate sleep mode from 10pm to 7am. Works every day, even after a reboot.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👤 PROFILES — Switch in one tap ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Create named block-list profiles for every context: - 💼 Work — silence social apps during office hours - 🏠 Personal — silence work apps in the evening - 🌙 Sleep — block everything except alarms
Switch between profiles instantly. Add your own with a custom emoji.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔍 KEYWORD FILTER — Block by content ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Add keywords like "promo", "sale", "50% off" or "limited time" — any notification from any app containing those words is automatically blocked. The most powerful way to stop marketing spam without blocking the whole app.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📊 STATS — See your wins ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A weekly dashboard shows how many distractions you've blocked, which apps send the most notifications, and your 7-day blocking history. Knowing your numbers keeps you motivated.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 HOME SCREEN WIDGET ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Two widgets: a compact 2×2 toggle and a 4×2 stats card. See your blocking status and today's count at a glance. Tap to pause or resume blocking without opening the app.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔒 PRIVACY FIRST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Everything runs on your device. Notification content is never uploaded to any server. No account required. No sign-in. Your data stays yours.

The only notification blocker app that works
★★★★★sudhir Kumar· Dec 3, 2021
I Would Say This Is Just A Great App. It Deserves Cent Per Cent Marks.
★☆☆☆☆Jürgen Henze· Jun 27, 2026
"Blocks" apps that can be silenced by removing notification permission, doesn't help at all with pre-installed system malware or anything that can't be silenced or disabled with normal user options. Basically, this is Annoyance serving bloatware with no benefits at all.
★★☆☆☆Carolyn Williams· Aug 2, 2020
So I don't understand it totally blocks all notifications didn't means you don't know its hidden notifications what's that about I don't understand
★☆☆☆☆Surender Singh· Aug 23, 2020
Actually I bought an Android box and a lot of noise comes in background I think that is notification sound which is very annoying. I have tried to check in sound setting, but I couldn't find anything the load your stop notification apps but still after 2 to 3 minutes same notification sound comes. Even your apps is not able to stop this annoying notification sound.
