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.

Just downloaded Buzzkill but it looks like I still have to toggle the rules. I'd like to do it based on location or something like that. Ideally it would be a variable I could flip (one toggle vs. 4-5 toggles for each app).

Edit: Nevermind. I read the forking manual. 😅
