We often get annoying notifications on our smartphones that can seriously hinder productivity. There are many applications that can snooze notifications for you, but this can often cause you to miss important reminders and calls.

Furthermore, these applications require specific access to your notifications and smartphone, which can put your data at risk. These applications do not work for specific users, which can often be redundant if you want to mute someone.

There's an even easier way to mute someone's presence in all messages and services on your phone: with the Filterbox app.

Filterbox is a comprehensive and easy-to-use notification manager that gives you full control over all incoming push notifications. The app also helps you restore notifications, which is a great trick on its own, but it gets really better if you can also automatically disable notifications with words in the notification bar.
