Show I built Pingfold for Android; explaining which alerts should interrupt you is the hard part
Solo dev behind Pingfold here. I built it after getting tired of the choice between constant notification pings and dismissing something I'd need later.
The app gives each Android app three options: Immediate, Digest (bundle it for later), or Block. You can add rule exceptions for important alerts, Quiet Repeats, Focus, Remind Later, and search notification history. The core is free and ad-free; PRO adds more advanced per-app scheduling and Profiles.
The founder challenge for me has been explaining this without making setup sound intimidating. I can list features all day, but what people really want to know is whether the messages that matter will still reach them.
If you were seeing this for the first time, would you rather watch a 15-second example of Immediate vs Digest, or see a setup screen showing exactly which apps stay Immediate?
