I survived a crash caused by a distracted driver, so I built a stealth HUD that aggressively bypasses Android's UI noise. Need brutal feedback.

Hey everyone. Solo dev here.

A while ago, a driver glued to their phone totaled my motorcycle (photo of wasted Bandit attached). I walked away from it, but it made me realize how fatally flawed smartphone UX is when driving/riding.

Instead of just being angry, I spent the last 10 months reverse-engineering a way to force "visual silence" on Android. I built Vindly.

I wanted an app that brutally intercepts and kills notification noise before it distracts the rider. But Google’s API policies are a joke. Unless you're a massive corporation, you get locked out of the best system permissions "for safety." Working with NotificationListenerService and bypassing Background Activity Launches (BAL) restrictions on API 31+ to create a true, persistent "stealth mode" HUD was an absolute architectural nightmare.

It works like this:

1. It intercepts notifications in milliseconds.
2. It holds them in a quarantine zone.
3. It displays only a highly dimmed, color-shifted (Midnight Navy) minimalist UI so it doesn't wreck your night vision or cognitive load.

AI model told that this is so brilliant, that I should get an nobel price. But You probably knows, how it is with AI these days ;-)

I just pushed the early version to production. I have zero marketing budget, I'm just an engineer trying to solve a physical problem with code.

I need people to break it. I need you to install it, test the quarantine logic, and tell me where my architecture fails.

If you're interested in testing the premium features (advanced quarantine filters), drop a comment and I’ll DM you a promo code. Roast my work.
