Is there a way to conditionally block or allow notifications? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Ever since we've gone to hybrid working, I've been having to deactivate work notifications and enable game notifications back and forth and it's driving me nuts.

I have a Pixel 9 Pro XL and would like a way to allow app notifications to come through based on a variable that I can control. At my disposal I have Tasker and Home Assistant but can't find a way to perform automations to enable or disable specific app notifications.

Is there a way to do this? I have to imagine other people have this problem.

Thank you for the recommendation! I don't mind spending money. I've got google points that's expiring constantly so I need to spend them.

But it doesn't seem like Buzz Kill has a try before you buy. 🤔

Every app has a try before you buy since you can refund it within two hours. Buzzkill is a great app, the developer is nice so even if you miss the refund window and the app isn't what you want (though I think it will be) there are a lot of worse things to spend your money on.

For $4, I think I can do it. 2 hours isn't enough time for me to test this but it seems like it can do the job.

And it's not even $4 for me. So what the hell.

Lemmy recommended!
