I'm the developer of 🔔Nap, a notification history app

[jpmcosta]

Hello, I'm João and I've been developing Nap, a notifications' timeline and manager for Android.

I started developing Nap for two reasons:

1. I used to get notifications and I didn't want to interact with them immediately, but I also didn't want to dismiss and lose them (this became less of an issue in Android 11);
2. I was getting notifications too often.

So, I aimed to create a simple timeline for my Android notifications. Naturally, the concept evolved and I have additionally developed features to organize and manage notifications, such as snooze and automatic dismissal.

Nap is an application you won't be using often and I've designed it to not be addictive and to never ask for your attention unsolicitedly. It is completely free and it respects your information. Your notifications are solely yours and stored locally only.

After starting to use Nap, I eventually stopped feeling any pressure to interact with my notifications, which was somewhat freeing. I definitely recommend using an application to manage your notifications and there are plenty on Google Play.

In that sense, I would like to invite you to try out Nap. I’m also looking for feedback, namely:

• what do you like and don't like about it;
• which problem can it help solve in your day-to-day life, if any.

This is a screenshot of the default 'Inbox' feed:


Thank you!

Looks interesting! Are they interactive like regular Android notifications? And expendable like some are?

Nap is not meant to be an alternative to the notification drawer, but a timeline of your notifications.

The way it works is that the notifications will keep their "links" if the app is not fully terminated. The app is terminated on some (not all) crashes, when the phone is restarted, and when the app is updated.

The notifications don't have their actions and are not expandable. Those are things that I might add in the future.
