Not everyone should see your private notifications.
Hide notifications from selected apps when you don’t want them on your screen. Review them later in Notification Catcher.
Android 8+ · Free to start · Premium is a one-time purchase
Built for moments when your screen isn’t private.
Handing over your phone
Show photos, pass your phone to someone or leave it on the table — without selected apps lighting up on the screen.
Meetings, trains and shared screens
Face-up on the meeting table, mid screen-share, the person next to you on the train reading along: notifications from the apps you chose are removed instead of staying on screen.
Work and focus
Keep work apps off your screen after hours, and distracting ones while you focus — then catch up later in the Catcher.
Hide it — or censor it.
Remove a notification completely, or replace it with a neutral “1 new notification” — no original app name, no sender, no content. Optionally with an icon in the status bar, and on the lock screen only if you allow it.
Choose exactly what stays hidden.
Hide everything from an app, only certain kinds of notifications, or everything except the ones you choose. Add individual senders, titles or websites, and schedule hiding for specific days and times.
Rules come straight from real notifications: press and hold an entry in the Catcher and switch “Hide” on for its sender, title or website. Nothing to type, nothing to guess.
Everything from this app
Every notification from the app is hidden.
Hide only certain ones
Only what you tick is hidden. Everything else gets through.
Let only certain ones through
Everything is hidden — except what you tick.
Hidden, not lost.
Everything that gets hidden lands in Notification Catcher, sorted by day. Tap an entry to jump to the app — the entry clears itself. Press and hold to turn it into a rule.

Built for the moment your phone is in someone else’s hands.
Android’s own settings mainly protect the lock screen. Once your phone is unlocked and someone else is holding it, the details decide:
Switching off reveals nothing
If someone flips the switch, only new notifications come through. Everything already hidden stays in the Catcher — it never jumps back into the status bar.
Censored without a trace
The neutral stand-in shows a plain envelope icon — not the original app, not the sender. By default, tapping it leads nowhere.
A widget that keeps quiet
The widget shows on or off — by default not how many notifications are hidden. A “7” on your home screen would already say too much.
App lock
A four-digit code of its own protects your sets and the Catcher — even while the phone itself is unlocked.
One switch when you need it.
Set up your apps once, then turn hiding on or off wherever it’s quickest.

The big switch on the main screen.
Home-screen widget
Green means hiding is on, red means everything gets through.
Quick Settings
A tile in the pull-down panel — reachable from any app.
Your notification content stays on your phone.
Removication needs no account and has no cloud for your notifications. Content is processed on your device and never sent to a Removication server. It isn’t included in cloud backups either.
The free version shows a Google ad banner. The ad component never receives your notifications. Premium removes ads entirely.

Questions people ask first
Can a notification appear briefly before it’s hidden?
Yes. Android delivers a notification first, and Removication removes it right after. On some phones it can flash up for a moment.
Why does Removication need Notification Access?
Without Android’s Notification Access, no app can see or remove another app’s notifications. Removication needs it to recognise notifications from the apps you selected and apply your settings.
Will I lose hidden notifications?
No — they wait in Notification Catcher. The free version keeps the last 24 hours; Premium lets you choose up to three months.
Does Removication hide calls or alarms?
No. Calls, alarms, emergency and disaster alerts, and ongoing navigation, music or recordings are never hidden — whatever your settings.
Does my notification content leave my phone?
No. Removication doesn’t upload notification content anywhere, has no account and no cloud, and the Catcher is excluded from cloud backup.
The free version shows a Google ad banner; the ad component never receives your notifications.
Decide what gets to appear on your screen.
Keep selected notifications private, cut interruptions, and catch up when it suits you.
