Works on my Pixel, Nougat 7.1 I was using another app for AGES before getting my Pixel but the persistent notifications didn't work. These do stick around (after reboot it takes a few minutes to come back).

Installed this to get rid of the giant clock that's been on my Pixel 4 XL lock screen since the Android 12 install. It works like a charm!

This app is PERFECT!! EXACTLY what I was looking for. I keep forgetting to make important calls and this just keeps the notification on your lock screen. Exactly what I was after. Not sure how this app doesn't have any reviews yet, but here's the first!

No more persistent. Once I clear my recent apps, the notification in notification bar also gets closed.!!

UI wise, it's like I've gone back 10 yrs. Also, no option to NOT use an icon for a notification - I don't want to see big pixelated icons in my notification bar...maybe wouldn't be so bad if they were smaller or actually just an icon (it's an icon on top of a default background color...). I'm glad I can finally throw my own notifications up on my phone for reminders, but this feels like an overly basic and tacky way to do so. Having un-removable ads is incredibly annoying as well.

This app was great for all it did. I originally got it to remove the giant clock on android. But I began using it for lists, items to remember and codes. Today out of nowhere I noticed the notification was gone and when I opened the app, all of my lists were gone! This is over 2 yrs of items that I can't get back. HELP

Trust & Safety: The app requests permissions focused on notifications, network access, and licensing (e.g., FOREGROUND_SERVICE, INTERNET, POST_NOTIFICATIONS, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, WAKE_LOCK, BILLING, and ad/analytics identifiers). It does not request location or other highly sensitive data. While ad/tracking components are present (AdMob, Firebase), there is a clear emphasis on standard app services; users should review the privacy policy, especially given Android 14’s notification changes that may affect behavior.
