Pinnit allows you to pin notifications to your panel, so that important information never gets lost. You can also add notes, schedule, add reminders and track your notification history with filtering options; all with a gorgeous UI and attention to detail.
Hello, Product Hunt Community! First time posting here!
I'm Sasikanth and I'm the developer of Pinnit! Pinnit was a passion project for many years, first starting in 2020.
The idea was simple: We needed a way to create reminders, and what better canvas than the panel you open dozens or maybe hundreds of times a day. And since we're there, why not extend that to all notifications?
Our problems were cut out for us — there are too many notifications these days, and it's easy to miss important ones - sometimes, accidentally. Android has a notification log, but it's not very user-friendly. It also has notification snoozing - which is somewhat useful - but it's not even enabled by default!
Pinnit was a very challenging product. Dealing with notifications on Android, supporting multiple versions, handling all of their behaviors, pruning out duplicates - it's been a long time coming, but we're finally here!
✨ Features
- Create and pin your own notifications
- Manage your notifications with a history log, search & filtering options
- Schedule notifications and add reminders
- Add notes to third-party notifications
🎨 Beautiful design
Our app was solely designed by @edpratti. Eduardo wanted Pinnit to be a reference point for Material 3, Android's design language. This meant that we spent a lot of time sweating out the details, prototyping transitions, creating icon animations, working out every piece of the design process so that it could be implemented to the best of our ability. And the feedback we got was incredible!
🔒 Privacy
To function, Pinnit asks to read your notifications, but rest assured, we don't use any of your data for anything other than displaying it to you. In fact, no data ever leaves your device besides two situations:
- Crash reports
- Billing information
💬 Please let us know what you think!
I hope you enjoy Pinnit as much as we enjoyed making it. We have several improvements coming soon - many of them feature requests.
Thank you!
The feature to add notes to third-party notifications is fantastic! It’s these little details that make a big impact.
A colleague of mine was just saying they struggle with managing their notifications. I’ll definitely share this with them; it seems perfect for their needs!
How does the scheduling feature work? Can you set recurring reminders, or is it just one-time notifications?
It might be useful to add a feature that allows users to categorize notifications by type. That could help in organizing them better
The idea of creating a history log for notifications. It’s such a practical feature that can help avoid missing important messages
Very good! As a tool that people rely on in their daily lives, this tool is absolutely essential.
Can you add more fun features? Just having a notice board might feel boring after long-term use.
I recommend Pinnit for easy notification and note management. This app allows you to pin important notifications to the dashboard, add notes and reminders, and filter your notification history
First of all - absolute banger UI and animations. One of the best I've seen in Android. And the onboarding experience too is top notch, explaining the permissions gathered.
Can I make a few feature requests?
1. Let me set notification repeat frequency to Yearly too. Would be useful for Birthday and annual subscription reminders.
2. Let me add custom action to those notifications. For example, on the birthday reminder notification, I want to add a "Open whatsapp" action or "call xyz" action.
3. Let me add tags to the notes.
@its_sasikanth Congrats on Pinnit! Keeping vital notifications easily accessible is genius. At InterWiz, our AI avatars streamline the tech interview process. What feature are you most excited about in Pinnit’s latest update?
Pinning important notifications directly to the panel is an excellent solution to modern notification overload. Features like notification history, calendar reminders and adding notes to third-party notifications really enhance its functionality. Furthermore, Pinnit's design efforts are amazing, and it's the best of Material 3 on the Android platform. The focus on privacy is also reassuring in that it keeps user data safe. @its_sasikanth
amazing product Sasikanth, don't know why this wasn't a native feature since the beginning. now I can't live without it
The design is eye catching. Moreover, it will definitely meet this simple but important need.
Love the idea of being able to pin notes and reminders directly to the notification panel. One thing I’m wondering: does Pinnit allow for recurring notifications, like daily or weekly reminders, or is it more focused on one-off alerts? Looking forward to trying it out! Thanks!
Congrats, Sasikanth and the Pinnit team! 🎉
This is such a game-changer for managing notifications. The ability to pin important notifications, add notes, schedule reminders, and filter through notification history all in one place sounds incredibly convenient. Plus, the attention to detail in the UI is evident and really elevates the user experience. Kudos to Eduardo for his stellar design work!
Can't wait to dive in and see how Pinnit simplifies my daily notification chaos.
