Everything you need to get NotiWeave working — and how to reach us if something isn’t behaving.

Runs on Android 7.0 (Nougat) and newer

Getting started

  1. Grant Notification Access. On first launch, NotiWeave asks for Android’s Notification Access. Tap through to system settings and enable NotiWeave. This is the only permission it needs to read notifications.
  2. Allow background running. So capture keeps working while your phone is idle or after a restart, let NotiWeave ignore battery optimisation and — on some phones (e.g. Xiaomi/MIUI) — enable Autostart. NotiWeave walks you through this on first launch, and you can revisit it anytime under Settings → Permissions & background.
  3. Set up each app. Open the Apps screen, tap an app, and choose what NotiWeave does with it — save its messages as threads, play your own notification sounds, or loop a ringtone for its calls. Everything else is ignored.
  4. Assign sounds & ringtones. In Apps, set a default sound (and call ringtone) per app — or open All apps for rules that apply everywhere; in any sender’s thread, tap the bell to give that person their own message sound or call ringtone. Pick from the built-in libraries (Settings → Notification sounds and Ringtone library, each with Mine, Catalog and Phone tabs) or import your own file.
  5. Optional: tidy the shade. Turn on Settings → Group in one tray and NotiWeave collects your notifications into a single entry in the phone’s shade; read the full list under Threads → Notifications (the bell in the Threads header). Apps you never want to hear from go in the Block tab — Silent hides them with no sound, Sound hides them but still plays a tone. Blocked notifications are still listed in the Notifications panel, so nothing vanishes without a trace.

After updating or reinstalling the app: Android sometimes stops delivering notifications to a listener after the app is replaced. If threads stop updating, re-open NotiWeave once — it re-binds the listener automatically. If needed, toggle Notification Access off and on again for NotiWeave in system settings.

Troubleshooting

Notifications aren’t showing up in threads

  • Confirm Notification Access is enabled: Settings → Apps → Special access → Notification access → NotiWeave.
  • Confirm the sending app is toggled on in NotiWeave’s Apps screen.
  • Some manufacturers (e.g. battery-optimisation on certain devices) can suspend background listeners — exclude NotiWeave from battery optimisation if threads lag.
  • Re-open NotiWeave once after any app update to re-bind the listener.

A custom sound or ringtone isn’t playing

  • Check the sound is still assigned — per app in Apps, or per sender via the bell in their thread.
  • For calls, confirm Call ringtone is turned on for that app in the Apps screen.
  • Silence the source app’s own notification (and call) sound in its system settings, so you don’t hear two sounds at once.
  • Make sure your phone isn’t in silent / Do Not Disturb mode.
  • If you imported a file, confirm it still exists and hasn’t been moved.

My notifications disappear from the shade

  • That’s Group in one tray doing its job: NotiWeave replaces them with one entry of its own. Read them under Threads → Notifications, or switch the setting off in Settings and the shade goes back to normal.
  • If a single app’s notifications vanish silently, check it isn’t in the Block tab.
  • Banking, finance and system notifications are never taken over or blocked — those always stay in the shade.

The Notifications panel is empty

  • The panel fills only when Group in one tray is on, or when a blocked app tries to notify you. Turn it on in Settings.
  • Grouping needs permission to post NotiWeave’s own notification. If Android asked and you declined, re-enable notifications for NotiWeave in system settings.
  • Entries you swipe away or clear are gone for good — but clearing the panel never touches messages already saved in your threads.

I want to clear my data

  • Wipe everything captured: Settings → Clear captured data.
  • Stop all capture: revoke Notification Access in system settings.
  • Remove everything: uninstall the app — all stored data goes with it.

Frequently asked

Is there an iPhone version?

No. iOS gives apps no way to read other apps’ notifications, so NotiWeave is Android-only.

Does NotiWeave use the internet?

No. There’s no server or account. Everything happens on your device and nothing is uploaded. See the privacy policy.

What’s the difference between blocking an app and just not adding it?

An app you never set up is simply ignored — its notifications behave exactly as they always did. Blocking is active: NotiWeave clears that app’s notifications out of the shade as they arrive, either silently or with a tone of your choosing, and records each one in the Notifications panel so you can still see what came in.

Do grouped notifications survive a restart?

Yes. Android wipes the notification shade on reboot, but NotiWeave’s panel entries are stored on your device and stay until you clear them. That’s often the only remaining copy of a notification, which is why swiping one aside is permanent.

Will it drain my battery?

NotiWeave listens to notifications you already receive rather than polling anything, so impact is minimal. On some devices you may need to exclude it from aggressive battery optimisation to keep threads current.
