Hi, where else can I upload this image to illustrate what I mean?

This is UI on my nothing phone. I see a major benefit for my everyday mental wellbeing to not have my phone shooting at me with all colors, and instead being “just a good interface”.

There might be some issues with icon recognition and speed of access, but since that’s your device and your icon placement, you eventually getting used to it. In exchange you receive a clean UI which doesn’t overload your receptors, which is a very important thing for the device you look at often.

Weather widget in the middle often shows calendar events, but I don’t discolse that for privacy.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

      If you’d like to have a bit more control than just either turning on/off/hide classes of notifications as provided by Android, I recommend getting Buzzkill. There’s a few other apps that does this but I don’t remember their names.

      But basically the gist is that you can set rules for notifications by app basis, if-then arguments and a few other methods I didn’t touch on to control how notifications show. Batch them together every few hours. Block them from showing during certain time periods and/or days. Mute notifications for a few minutes when that one guy in the group chat that likes to send 1 sentence in 100 lines.

      I’m not sure if Buzzkill is open source or not; I can’t recall if I ever checked it.

      And it’s like constantly 50 notifications you never asked for stacked in the endless columns of meaningless information, regardless how often you disable them :D

      But I simply nuke whatever pop ups. Keep sms, and emails.

      I also thought that’s standard, but that UI also allows to customize and disable them per category when you hold your finger on the notification. So I can disable everything, but keep direct messages, for example.
