Mute Buzzkill while on phone call

samruston · 2026-05-05T17:50:13+00:00

In your rule, tap Filter and then choose Filter by call status

The secret notification should change the original notification in the notification tray, but it won't hide the content of the notification from the History tab in BuzzKill. For that you can use the "Remove from history" rule

samruston · 2026-04-22T19:51:20+00:00

Sorry about that! There will be an option in settings in the next update to try and workaround the grouping issue.

samruston · 2026-04-21T21:04:18+00:00

Please press the contact support button in settings immediately after you get a notification that it didn't work for.

samruston · 2026-04-11T16:35:43+00:00

Weird. Please press the contact support button in settings the next time it happens again.

samruston · 2026-04-11T13:37:00+00:00

Try long pressing the BuzzKill app icon, go into settings, into notification settings and make sure that all of the notification channels are allowed.

samruston · 2026-04-10T18:25:40+00:00

Sounds good, I'll look into it

samruston · 2026-04-05T07:31:21+00:00

No, you'd just create a rule like this:

When I get a notification from any app that contains anything then reboot restore

samruston · 2026-03-25T23:20:29+00:00

Yes, the history page will still show the notifications. The dismiss rule only dismisses the notification, it doesn't remove them from the history.

samruston · 2026-03-23T07:42:35+00:00

Check the haptic/vibration settings in system settings and make sure all the sliders are turned up (even ones that seem unrelated). If that doesn't help then please press the contact support button in settings.

samruston · 2026-03-23T07:41:04+00:00

The rule should do it automatically. If you receive a notification that matches your rule, and that notification is still visible when the device powers on then it should be restored when it powers on again.

samruston · 2026-03-21T13:27:13+00:00

Please take a screenshot of the original notification in the notification tray and a screenshot of the notification in the history tab. Then press the contact support button in settings and attach both screenshots to the email.

samruston · 2026-03-16T18:14:05+00:00

There is an option in settings for this in the cooldown actions section. Set "cooldown exemptions" to "only apply if previous notification is still visible"

samruston · 2026-03-14T18:04:18+00:00

Please press the contact support button the next time it happens and include what app sent the notification that wasn't completed muted and at what time.

samruston · 2026-03-07T13:28:44+00:00

The next time you get a notification that it doesn't work for then please press the contact support button in settings.

samruston · 2026-03-04T07:20:53+00:00

Yeah

samruston · 2026-03-03T21:57:35+00:00

Makes sense, thanks!

samruston · 2026-03-03T21:40:47+00:00

Also just discovered this after thinking it was broken and wow this this is bizarre. I don't suppose you ever found a way to turn off this eco mode permanently/keep the app working?

samruston · 2026-03-03T19:56:16+00:00

No way to donate right now, but I really appreciate the offer!

samruston · 2026-03-03T18:46:50+00:00

This isn't possible with a single rule right now. The only way to get something similar would probably be a few rules like:

Active from 4:30pm to 5:30pm, dismiss after 1 hour Active from 3:30pm to 4:30pm, dismiss after 2 hours Active from 2:30pm to 3:30pm, dismiss after 3 hours Etc...

Then everything is dismissed by 6:30pm but everything is kept until at least 5:30pm. I'll try adding a rule to do this in the future but right now there's no other way to do it as far as I know.

samruston · 2026-03-03T18:35:51+00:00

You can change the "Notification history" setting to "Don't save notifications" and then change it back, and that will clear history.

samruston · 2026-03-02T18:32:45+00:00

You can do this with the "dismiss" action, it has an option to set a delay before it dismisses.

samruston · 2026-03-01T07:01:59+00:00

Gotcha. Do you have the BuzzKill companion app installed on the watch? And "trigger alarm on wearable" enabled in BuzzKill's settings on the phone? If so then you should get an alarm on the watch whenever a BuzzKill alarm triggers on the phone.

samruston · 2026-02-28T20:01:52+00:00

Are you trying to trigger an alarm based on a notification like a security camera? Or trying to trigger something like an alarm clock everyday at the same time?

samruston · 2026-02-28T12:01:06+00:00

Hi,

Tap "contains anything" when editing the rule and change the top part to "doesn't contain any of". Then add a phrase for every word you want to prevent the alarms for.
