A simple Android app
Notification Log
Swiped it away?
Keep the when.
A little record of which app notified you, and when. Clear the notification. Keep the timestamp.
App screenshots · illustrative entries.
One useful little thing
An app.
A time. A record.
Was that the weather app? Your calendar? Something you meant to check before your thumb got there first?
Notification Log keeps a running timeline of app names and notification times, including notifications you later dismiss. Browse everything together, pick one app, or look back through a particular day.
It starts recording after you grant notification access. It can’t recover alerts that were already dismissed before recording began, and it doesn’t save what a message said.
Find the app
Filter by app and time, or use the Apps view to see counts and the latest notification. Tap an entry to open its app.
Keep the useful bits
Choose which apps get recorded. Swipe or hold an entry to delete it, with a short Undo window for an overenthusiastic thumb.
Keep it on your phone
No ads, accounts, subscriptions, analytics, internet permission, or location permission. Light and dark appearance follow your phone.
A look inside
Small app.
Room to breathe.
These are app screens with sample entries, not anyone’s message history.

Before you install
A couple of taps.
One permission.
Open the downloaded APK on your Android phone and follow the installation prompts. Android may ask you to allow installation from the particular browser or file app you used. This is a direct website download, not a Google Play listing.
Keep Play Protect enabled. If Android reports the app as harmful or blocks installation, stop and contact us rather than bypassing that warning.
Open Notification Log, choose Enable notification access, and enable it in Android’s settings. Android grants broad access to notifications; this app uses metadata and does not read or save message text. Downloaded apps may require an additional per-app confirmation before Android allows notification access.
When the app says Recording, new notifications can be saved while its screen is closed. To update an earlier installation, install over it; don’t uninstall or clear its data first.
Read Notification Log’s privacy details before enabling access.
A few things to know.
Does it save my messages?
No. The visible history is app names and notification posting times. Internal hashed identifiers, grouping flags, timestamps and counts help handle updates and duplicates. Message titles and text aren’t read or saved.
Will one message always equal one entry?
Not necessarily. Android apps can update or group their notifications. Notification Log combines matching group summaries and rapid updates where metadata allows it, but it is a notification timeline rather than an exact email or message counter.
Does it track location or app usage?
No. It records notifications Android shares with it. It does not request location, usage-access, or accessibility permissions.
Can I turn off an app or clear the history?
Yes. Settings → Apps to record controls future recording. Existing history stays until you clear it. Clear shown respects your app and time filters. Deletion has a 10-second Undo window.
What can it miss?
It can’t reconstruct notifications dismissed before recording, or gaps while Android disconnects the listener or access is off. Notifications from another profile or Secure Folder may be unavailable. Phone-specific battery management can affect background behavior.
