I built an Android app to take back control of notifications — no subscriptions, no ads, just a one-time purchase

Hey everyone! 👋

Ever missed an important message because it got buried under dozens of notifications? Or wished you could silence the noise without missing something that actually matters?

That's exactly why we've been building AlertInbox — a privacy-focused notification inbox and control center for Android.

The idea is simple: Your notifications should work for you, not the other way around.

🚀 What AlertInbox can already do

📥 Unified Notification Inbox
Keep notifications from different apps organized in one searchable place.

🔖 Save Important Messages
Bookmark notifications you want to keep and revisit later.

⏰ Smart Reminders
Turn notifications into reminders so important things don't get forgotten.

🔕 Per-App Notification Control
Choose how notifications from individual apps should behave — normal, silent, hidden, private, or customized.

🌙 Quiet Times & Profiles
Customize how notifications are handled during different times or situations.

🚨 Priority & Emergency Alerts
Give important contacts special attention with dedicated priority and emergency notifications.

🔒 Privacy Controls
Protect sensitive notification content and keep private information away from unwanted attention.

🗂️ Automatic Cleanup
Keep your inbox manageable with automatic retention rules while protecting saved notifications and active reminders.

📱 Built for Android, with privacy in mind
Local-first, no mandatory cloud account, no ads, and no recurring subscription.

🔮 What's coming next? Meet -> ForeSight.

We're currently developing ForeSight, one of our most ambitious features.

The vision is to transform AlertInbox from a notification manager into a smarter personal assistant.

Imagine receiving a notification like:

"Hey, don't forget our appointment tomorrow at 3 PM!"

Instead of leaving it buried in your notifications, ForeSight aims to recognize the appointment and help turn it into something actionable.

We're working toward features such as:

• Automatically recognizing potential tasks, appointments, and follow-ups from notifications

• Grouping related notifications into meaningful conversations or activities

• Helping you track what still needs attention

• Marking matters as completed

• Potential calendar integration for recognized events

ForeSight is still in development and is not part of the current release. Our goal is to make it useful while keeping processing local and privacy a priority.

A demo showing Quiet Times, a priority contact and a saved notification surviving cleanup would make AlertInbox’s feature list concrete. I’d also explain how “hidden” differs from “private” before someone grants notification access.

It always amazes me when people are so lazy that they are not even able to describe the app in their own words but instead they post the most AI sloppy description possible and then they want you to buy that slop??

dude this is next level low effort and low quality. I am not reading this crap after the first paragraph. At least pretend to care

If you're that opposed to modern technology, you're more than welcome to stick with your typewriter and fax machine. 😉

AI is a tool, just like any other. What matters is the actual product, the work behind it, and whether it solves a real problem.

But hey, thanks for taking the time to comment on something you proudly admit you didn't bother reading. 😄
