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…

    Add them to your contacts that are allowed to bypass do not disturb?

      Not OP, but AFAIK that doesn’t work for Whatsapp or other in-app calls, and since my family lives in another continent if there’s an emergency they’ll call via WhatsApp.

      An argument could be made that because I live far away I don’t need to be informed of emergencies right away, but there are cases in which I would like that, even if just to buy a same day ticket to go back as soon as possible.

        I just checked and at least on LineageOS 21 (android 14) you indeed can add specific apps (and notification categories, eg calls) to bypass do not disturb

          Yes, but any person calling on WhatsApp would get through. Granted, that’s better than not using DnD, but still it’s not perfect like people are making it out to be.
