Boomerang 1.1.2 [free]

Boomerang is a simple app to improve on the drawbacks of the Android notification drawer. It allows you to save individual notifications for later and optionally set a reminder for a more convenient time - helping you to achieve notification drawer zero. After a notification is removed (e.g. it is dismissed or tapped on) an unobtrusive notification will appear in its place for a short time, allowing you to save it for later.Features include: •  You can save notifications for later, rather than keeping them from cluttering up the notification drawer.•  Only likely to save emails? Or social media notifications? You select which applications to show save prompts for.•  Set reminders to review saved notifications at a later time, or at a set time and date.•  Don’t want to save every notification? Save prompts will remove themselves after 10 seconds (or set a shorter / longer time in the settings).•  View your most recent saved notifications and upcoming reminders for the current day with a quick access screen.•  Impact on battery performance is considered, with background operations designed to only be active when they have to be.Permissions explained:•  "notification listener service" - Required to allow Boomerang’s operations to run, including allowing you to save the notifications and create reminders.•  "vibrate" - Required to allow reminder notifications to vibrate when delivered, just the same as other notifications.•  "run at startup" - Required to allow the app to restart itself when the device turns on.•  "stop the device from sleeping" - Required to allow for some background processing, this is only used where necessary and only for seconds at a time.•  "view network connections" + "full network access" - Required for checking whether a network connection is active before sending/receiving anonymous usage data. Your notification content is not collected, your privacy is taken very seriously.Developed using research undertaken at Cardiff University.
