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?
Modern Android Do Not Disturb is configurable enough for you to do this. Allow your family contacts through, block the rest.
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:
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.
If it’s just the ntfy app that sends these alerts it should be easy enough to send the developers of that app a feature request to implement a sleep mode which can be scheduled to mute the notifications.
Of course, but IMHO it’s worth checking the alternatives first before requesting an “obvious” (but only to me) feature that someone spends hours of their free time working on…
I was orignally hoping that the built-in mute could be scheduled, so that might be a suggestion.
So far DnD appears to be the option for me, now that I’ve thought about it more (after reading these comments) rather than trying to pause ntfy, gotify, etc…
