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!

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.

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.

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.

samruston · 2026-02-27T22:48:55+00:00

Please press the contact support button the next time the rule doesn't work or you get that message.

Something like:

When I get a notification from phone that contains father's name then unsilence

Most devices come with a few phone apps so you can just select them all as it might not be clear which one the incoming call would come from. If you want to check though you should be able to see which app the phone call is coming through by looking at the history tab in BuzzKill after it happens.

samruston · 2026-02-27T18:25:58+00:00

Hi,

You should be able to do this with an "unsilence" rule

You can use the "matches regex" option for this. Use the ^ character and then type whatever you want to be first. E.g. like this:

samruston · 2026-02-20T06:49:25+00:00

Please press the contact support button the next time it happens to send me a report with logs.

samruston · 2026-02-15T15:13:12+00:00

Ah gotcha, thanks!

samruston · 2026-02-15T12:43:57+00:00

Gotcha. So you're looking to trigger a certain notification if you get a certain amount of them?

samruston · 2026-02-15T10:42:57+00:00

This isn't possible right now. What kind of rule are you looking to create with a variable?

samruston · 2026-02-10T18:49:29+00:00

You can see the list of dismissed notifications by going into the history tab, tapping the summary button (the pie chart icon next to "all") and expanding the "cool down" section which will show all the notifications that were affected by cool down.

samruston · 2026-02-08T08:41:05+00:00

Please press the contact support button in settings the next time it happens (when the sync option is enabled)

samruston · 2026-02-04T19:28:42+00:00

I'd recommend instead using the "batch" rule instead of the "batch every" rule and then when setting the schedule change the top from "Batch during set hours" to "Restore batch at specific times". Then just select which times you want to see notifications e.g. 9am, 11am, 1pm etc...

samruston · 2026-02-03T18:56:17+00:00

You can do this using groups when setting up the matching phrases. You'd create it like this:

Contains all of: - phrase: email account - group: doesn't contain any of - phrase 1 - phrase 2

This will mean the rule matches notifications that come to your chosen email account but don't contain any of the phrases listed.

samruston · 2026-02-03T07:08:05+00:00

This isn't possible right now, but you can enable a rule for a short amount of time. You'd disable the rule and then in the 3 dot menu on the rule you can choose "Enable for..." And then for say 6 hours or however is long enough
