Well, as the title says, I’ve had a few notifications that alerted over night and I’m wanting to sleep instead
These are ntfy alerts, but driven by Uptime Kuma… and I can’t find a programmatic / config option that says “don’t notify between 11pm and 7am” (but willing to admit I’ve just not found it… yet…)
I need my (Android, ofc) phone to be on in case of family calls / messages, so I can’t use “Do Not Disturb”, and remembering to manually mute the ntfy app each night just doesn’t make sense to me - computers are quite capable of automating my requirements for me.
So… any pointers? I’m sure you’re not all getting alerts at 2am because your ISP dropped a few packets…

Do not Disturb on my phone has the option to turn off everything except alarms and/or calls from a variety of sources. It can be set to be active at certain times of the day.
True, but if you are not from America, many many people use VOIP calling on apps like WhatsApp to call.
DnD priority overrides don’t work for that.
As best I can tell, on Android, while there is scheduling, there isn’t a way to trivially say “enter do-not-disturb mode for the next N minutes/hours on a one-off basis”, which is normally what I want. I don’t want to set up a schedule; I just want to silence the thing without having to worry about forgetting to re-enable the mode. It seems like an odd omission.
Works for me
Also lets me pick apps that bypass it:
I can confirm both Pixels and Samsung phones have that feature (1/2/4 hours or indefinite). On my current phone (Samsung) you get the option by holding the DND button.
Hmm. Thanks. Mine (Android 14, OnePlus) doesn’t appear to provide that, though holding DnD does take me to the schedule settings.
I can do this on android 10.
Works on LineageOS 21.
I’ll second people here in pointing that you are better allowing calls from your family during the “Do Not Disturb” than trying to set-up things not to call you during that time. Your phone almost certainly has a setting that allows “favorite contacts” or something like it.
It has a better configuration orthogonality :)
Modern Android Do Not Disturb is configurable enough for you to do this. Allow your family contacts through, block the rest.
You can set maintenance schedules in Uptime Kuma and alerts won’t be sent out during those times. I use that for when my backup routines run each night. That seems like a decent cross-platform work around.
Hmm, thanks, that seems like a good starting point - I’d not explored that entire option! Thanks
