Ask HN: How do you optimize your notification diet?

I want to be notified instantly on some communication channels, NLP customisable if possible. For example only receiving notifications from Bob from channel Y on Discord X. Anyone know a service I could pay for this?

    I disabled ALL notifications (except phone calls), and developed routines for manually checking everything.

    It’s done wonders for reducing my stress levels and increasing my meaningful output :)

    There's no APIs for managing notifications on either iOS or Android, you'd require a jailbreak/root to do this.

    Discord does let you customize notifications pretty well.
