Agreed. I'd kill for a watch that you could hold all notifications until you decided to receive them all, ideally at a slow pace over a period of time. For now, I disable notifications but it's a shame I can't access them when I'm ready to do so. I have hopes for this pebble!

I mean that's the killer app for a watch like Pebble that is at it's core open source. > a watch that you could hold all notifications until you decided to receive them all build it. _Even if_ you wouldn't know where to start I think a modern LLM could get you 90% of the way there.

My Garmin watch on Do Not Disturb accomplishes this. I always forget to look at them though!

  PebbleOS has always had a feature called "Quiet Time" which does the same thing as "Do Not Disturb". Hopefully the new app will also respect the phone's native "Do Not Disturb" setting which has a bunch of nice automation features to e.g. turn on during meetings or at night automatically.

  Does it deliver them at a slow pace after you turn it off?

    How would you want that feature to work? Delivered every minute? Evened delivery through the next hour?

      I wasn’t the one who wanted it, so you’ll have to ask them. I was just pointing out that you said “my watch accomplishes this” but it only accomplishes one of the two features they want, and honestly I’m pretty sure they know that you can silence notifications on most smart watches so the emphasis would have been on the second feature.

    When you turn Notifications off for showing, they're just in the "inbox" & won't show on the watchface when received. You can then just access them whenever you want from the menu OR you can create a button shortcut that activates when pressing down. FYI the previous generation of Pebble OS did not have a message counter, but this generation will apparently add this to its complications.

Apple does this with evening summaries.

Apple's Focus settings let you set up special allow/deny lists for notifications and the notifications come in when you disable the focus. Unfortunately they don't have separate watch/phone settings on this although you can block apps from being able to notify on watch at all, ever. This is how mine is set, pretty much I only allow watch notifications for navigation, phone calls/DMs from known contacts.

Anecdotally - I also disable most notifications, but this approach works for me. In my case the notifications that I didn't receive are still in the relevant apps in the form of unread messages, missed calls, or similar; I can look at them later, when I have the time. Sometimes an app would send a notification that would leave no trace in its app; e.g. a time sensitive reminder. But if the app's design assumes there's no benefit to viewing that notification later, I'm happy to trust it - and this approach acts for me as a natural filter.
