I built an app that cut my notifications by 70% in 24 hours (Android Early Access)

I realized I wasn’t using my phone anymore — my phone was using me.

A few days ago, I checked my notification log:

137 total notifications

Only ~20 were actually useful

The rest? Promotions, social triggers, and algorithm bait designed to pull me into a scroll.

I felt like inventory, not a user. So I built Utodia.

What it does (The "Wedge"):
Utodia is a local-first AI that filters your notifications in real-time. It acts as a "Priority Inbox" for your entire phone.

✅ Important: Messages from humans or urgent system alerts stay.

🚫 Noise: Algorithmic pings and marketing noise are silenced.

🔒 Privacy: Everything runs on-device. No cloud. No data exfiltration. No tracking.

The Early Results:
In our small internal alpha (5 users over 7 days), we’ve seen a consistent ~70% reduction in interruptions. The result isn't just a quieter phone; it’s noticeably longer focus sessions and less "phantom vibration" anxiety.

Why I’m starting with a Notification Filter:
I don’t think people want to "delete" their apps or quit the internet. They just want control over the noise. We're starting with this specific wedge to solve the Notification Bankruptcy problem before building out a larger social layer.

Try it out (Early Access - Android):
I’m looking for fellow builders to stress-test the filtering logic and the "on-device" performance.

Question for the community:
How do you manage notification overload today? Do you just leave your phone on "Do Not Disturb" 24/7, or have you found a way to filter the signal from the noise?

I’d love to hear your "hacks" for staying sane in the attention economy.
