Questions

Frequently asked

Does it read my messages without me knowing?

No — you grant notification access explicitly during setup, and can revoke it any time in Android Settings.

Will it drain my battery?

No. It uses Android's built-in notification listener — no polling, no background checks.

Does it work with WhatsApp?

Yes — add it as a source and set up sender or keyword rules.

What Android version do I need?

Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Any time, via Google Play → Subscriptions. Pro access continues until the billing period ends.
