What is Keynotif and how does it work?

Keynotif is an Android app that monitors notifications overnight, filters out non-essential ones (like promos and memes), and shows you only urgent or personal alerts when you wake up—all locally, no cloud needed.

Will Keynotif drain my battery or need root access?

No root required; it uses standard Android notification access permissions. Battery impact minimal since it runs lightweight in the background during sleep hours—Cahyanudien's testing confirms low overhead.

Is Keynotif available now and open source?

Still in development under FlagoDNA; not public yet. Follow his blog for beta drops—local-first ethos suggests potential open source release.
