RingGate

RingGate is an Android application designed to give you complete control over your phone's interruptions. It acts as a smart gatekeeper for your incoming calls and app notifications, ensuring that only the people and apps that matter to you can break through the silence. 🌟 Key Features 📞 Smart Call Management • Default Silence: Automatically silences unexpected incoming calls by default. • Custom Caller Groups: Create personalized groups (e.g., "Family", "Work", "Emergency") and add specific contacts to them. If a caller is in an active group, their call will ring through normally. • Time-Based Scheduling: Restrict each group to specific days and time windows (e.g., only silence calls on weekdays from 9am–5pm) — RingGate automatically stands down outside your chosen hours. • Privacy-First: Uses modern Call Screening APIs to identify callers without requiring your call log. 🔔 Advanced Notification Control • App-Specific Permissions: Manage which applications are allowed to send notifications that actually alert you. • Group-Based App Allowance: Link specific apps to your custom groups. Only notifications from these "allowed" apps will sound an alert. • Keyword Allowlisting: Let notifications through based on their title or text (e.g., "urgent", "OTP") — RingGate even suggests safe keywords so one-time passcodes never get silently blocked. • Notification Interception: Silences noisy, unapproved apps from interrupting your day without your permission. 🗂️ Blocked Notifications Hub • Unread & Read Tabs: A flat, newest-first Unread tab for quick triage, and a Read tab that keeps your full history grouped by app. • Tap or Swipe to Review: Tap an unread notification to reopen exactly what it pointed to, or swipe it away to mark it read in one motion. • Quick Actions: "Mark as Read", "Delete", "Allow App", or "Allow Caller" (by phone number and/or keyword) — right from the list, no digging through settings. • Mark All Read / Clear All: Triage your whole history in one tap. 📊 Active Summary • See at a glance exactly which contacts, apps, and keywords are currently allowed through, based on your active groups. 🗄️ Backup & Restore • Export all of your groups to a JSON file, and import them back — replacing or merging with what you already have. Backups never leave your device unless you move them yourself. 📖 Guided Setup • A quick interactive tutorial walks you through permissions, your first group, and how notification management works.
