Pingfold: Notification Manager

Reduce notification noise. Schedule digests and keep important alerts.

Your phone shouldn't interrupt you for everything.

Pingfold is an Android notification manager that helps you reduce distractions, organize notifications, and stay focused without missing the alerts that matter. Take control in a few simple choices, with more powerful options when you need them.

Choose what interrupts you

Set a default for each app:
• Immediate - Let its notifications through.
• Digest - Hold less urgent alerts for a scheduled batch.
• Block - Dismiss unwanted notification noise.
Important system notifications have built-in protections.

Digests that work around your day

• Schedule notification digests to fit your routine.
• Deliver waiting notifications manually, right from Home.
• See what's waiting and what was delivered recently.
• Catch up with delivered notifications grouped by app.
• Review individual items or clear delivered previews without clearing waiting notifications or history.

Focus when it matters

Start a Focus session for work, study, gaming, or downtime. Temporarily hold selected app notifications, then return to your regular settings when the session ends. Use the Quick Settings tile for convenient access.

Profiles for every routine (PRO)

Build reusable Profiles with different app notification settings for work, sleep, or anything else.
• Switch Profiles manually or on automated schedule.
• Run multiple Profiles together in priority order.
• Let scheduled Profiles adjust which app defaults take effect, without overwriting your usual settings.

Custom exceptions and notification rules

Create exceptions when one notification deserves different treatment:
• Match phrases, notification channels, categories, and times.
• Let important alerts through or send specific ones to Digest.
• Quiet repeated notifications.
• Remind yourself later using Android snooze.
• Automatically dismiss eligible notifications after a delay.
Try starter recipes, test a rule with a sample, combine conditions for finer control, or use Rule Doctor to review possible conflicts.

Search and understand your notifications

• Browse notification history with app, time, and outcome filters.
• Search locally saved notification titles and messages.
• See why Pingfold allowed, delayed, or blocked an alert.
• Use Noise Insights to discover busy apps and review suggestions.
• Choose history and saved-content retention periods.
• Review local Rule Activity to understand how exceptions perform.

Privacy and security on your terms

Notification content is processed locally on your device, not uploaded to Pingfold servers for processing.
• Control which apps keep local notification previews.
• Remove saved content or clear history.
• Lock Pingfold using your device's biometric or screen lock.
• Prevent screenshots and obscure app previews where Android supports it.
• Manage optional usage analytics and crash diagnostics separately.
No account is required for core notification control.

Easy setup and recovery

Review app choices and Digest timing before saving. Check notification access and delivery health, with guidance for Android battery and notification settings when something needs attention.

More ways to personalize (PRO)

Choose from five extra color themes. Export and import your app choices, Digest schedule, exceptions, Profiles, and appearance using a file you control. Saved notification content isn't included.

Free to take control

Immediate, Digest, Block, Focus, Exceptions, Digests, Inbox, notification history and search, Noise Insights, app lock, and screenshot protection are free. Lifetime Supporter is an optional one-time purchase for Profiles, extra themes, and settings transfer.

Android may alert before Pingfold processes a notification, and delivery timing can depend on device background restrictions.

Fewer interruptions. More control.
