I would pay a lot to have this on iPhone as I'm distracted easily due to my ADHD. iOS doesn't have as granular notification configuration as Android (topics?) plus Apple probably wouldn't agree to funnel all notification through 3rd party app.
Hope I find time to contribute :)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
... Is this for real, like do you really not see the difference? Not tryingto be snarky or sth, just struggle to comprehend this. You compare apples to oranges here. From a short look at the provided link, i guess it doesn'tcompare at all because it's something completely different? Link you provided seems to be Samsung or OneUI only, integrated with Good Lock. This seems to collect and present notifications together…
I think that would have been an excellent answer if it didn't come with the first two paragraphs. I couldn't tell the difference at a glance without being familiar with both apps.
I do not use any of the apps and just had a short look at the respective pages to see what they are. Both clearly state the repsective apps purpose, both have images of the apps.
I thought it was (in both cases) pretty clear what the respexctive app is and what not.

Where was the instinct that held you back to reply is such a confrontational way?
I'm surprised Android has an API for one app to block notifications from other apps. I guess enjoy it while it lasts.
The NotificationListenerService. It has genuine use-cases such as this DoNotNotify app, but could easily be misused - e.g. malware intercepting a wallet OTP notification and forwarding it to the attacker. Access to the API is controlled by a specific permission which users have to explicitly enable in "Special app access". https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/noti...
My distracted ADHD brain misses event notifications just too often, but with this app, even I my phone is in another room, I get reminded of that meeting, in time.

I created a free and open source set of filters to fix this. Soooo much better.

For me the biggest pain was email. I created a free and open source set of filters to fix this. Soooo much better. https://unfuck.email
Your concerns are valid but not unique to AI generated code, the same feeling has existed for as long as open source software has existed: is my code good enough, will I just look stupid when people suggest oversights and mistakes?
The fact of the matter is that if you have created software that solves an actual issue, especially if that issue was previously unsolved, you have created something valuable. Making it open source only means that the code is now open to contribution, forks, or other modifications by anyone using it.
The performative idea of open source software being a part of your resume and written only to increase your personal brand is a perversion of what the open source movement originally was about. It's about learning, and you learn by making mistakes, regardless of whether your bad code was written completely from your own brain or from the suggestion of an LLM.
Don't ever be afraid to open source your code, nobody has any right to expect anything from you, and if they do they are just too stupid to understand that free and open code is always a gift, regardless of how bad it is, if it solves a problem for real people.
FilterBox does seem to be superior with an inbuilt offline ML model to filter spam notifications, whilst also having a robust set of heuristic filtering options.
It's also amongst the snazziest apps to use with a design that delights. Best lifetime IAP I made 7+years ago.
