FAQ
Notify Inbox Manager FAQ.
Clear answers about setup, notification access, privacy, Android limitations, Plus during public beta, and how to report an issue.
Basics
What the app does.
Notify Inbox Manager is a free Android notification inbox. It helps you keep notification previews from many apps in one clean, local, searchable place.
Is the app free?
Yes. The core inbox is free. The most useful daily functions are available without an account: collect notifications, search history, view groups and sources, open the original app, copy text, mark items read, and dismiss notifications where Android allows.
What is Notify Inbox Plus?
Notify Inbox Plus is the optional deeper-control tier for users who want more personalisation and convenience, such as source-level handling, branch-level handling, custom names, custom colours, card styling, automation, and advanced organisation. Plus controls are enabled for everyone during public beta until 1 July 2026.
Does it replace WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, or email?
No. Notify Inbox Manager is a notification layer. The original app remains the source of the real conversation, message, email, order, or system event. Notify Inbox gives you one cleaner place to review and manage the Android notifications those apps already show.
Which apps can it work with?
It can collect notification previews from apps that post Android notifications, for example messengers, SMS apps, email apps, shopping apps, finance apps, delivery apps, reminders, and system tools. The exact content depends on what Android and the source app expose in the notification.
How to
Setup and daily use.
These answers cover the most common actions after installing the app.
How do I start using the app?
Install Notify Inbox Manager, open the app, and grant Android Notification Access when prompted. After that, new Android notifications can begin appearing in Notify Inbox. Existing old notifications from before access was granted may not be available.
How do I enable Notification Access?
Open the app and follow the setup prompt, or open Android Settings and search for Notification Access. Enable access for Notify Inbox Manager. Android may show an additional warning because notification access is a powerful permission; only enable it if you trust the app.
How do I activate Plus?
During public beta, no payment or activation step is required. Plus controls are enabled for all users until 1 July 2026. After the public beta period, the app will show the available upgrade method if you want to keep Plus controls. The core inbox will remain free.
How do I customise notification cards?
Use the app settings and source, group, or branch settings. Depending on the screen and feature, you can adjust card style, text size, colours, names, grouping behaviour, and other display options.
How do I reduce noisy notifications?
Use read, dismiss, Read all, Dismiss all, and Plus automation controls such as auto-read or auto-dismiss for selected sources or branches. Auto-read keeps local history but marks items read immediately. Auto-dismiss attempts to remove active Android notifications where Android allows it.
How do replies work?
Quick reply works only when Android and the original app expose a reply action inside the notification. If the source app does not provide a reply action, Notify Inbox Manager cannot safely create one.
How do I report a bug or issue?
Please use the Signalator contact page and include the app version, Android version, phone model, what you expected, what happened, and screenshots if possible. For action-related issues, mention the source app too, for example Telegram, WhatsApp, SMS, or email.
Privacy and limits
What Android allows — and what the app cannot do.
Notify Inbox Manager is local-first by default and works only with notification content exposed by Android.
Does Notify Inbox Manager upload my notifications?
No by default. The current Android app is local-first and does not require an account for the core inbox. Notification content is stored locally on the device unless a future optional sync/cloud feature is explicitly enabled.
Is this a deleted-message recovery app?
No. The app can only save notification content that Android exposes while notification access is active. It cannot recover messages that were never delivered as Android notifications, and it is not a spy tool.
Does the app store photos, videos, or voice messages?
The app focuses on notification text and metadata exposed by Android. Media notifications may appear as labels such as photo, video, voice message, sticker, or attachment, but the app is not designed as a media gallery or file backup service.
Why does Dismiss or Auto-dismiss not always remove the original notification?
Android and source apps control what can be dismissed. Notify Inbox Manager attempts to remove active Android notifications where Android allows it, but some notifications may be persistent or protected by the source app.
Can I clear my data?
Yes. The app includes local history clearing controls. Removing local history from Notify Inbox Manager does not delete messages, emails, or records from the original source apps.
Does it support different languages and themes?
Yes. The app includes theme and language settings. Captured notification content is not translated by Notify Inbox Manager; it stays exactly as received from the source notification.
