I HATE apps that you installed to get legit notifications, say a doorbell camera, and they use it to push ads to you, or "premium" features. guess I'm not buying your brand anymore, bitch.

Tangentially related, check out Grocery Genius. FOSS and I've been very happy with it

This is why we need better resource/battery management services with Magisk or Xposed integration. On my phone the Rom has one integrated already, lets you set apps to be prevented from running in the background completely, preventing tracking, annoying notifications, and battery usage. Though unfortunately these types of tools aren't available on all roms, and they really need root or system access to be effective.

Well you won't replace it with a pen and paper (like everybody else) cause we are addicted to our phones, that's a big reason why many apps are cocky

speak for yourself, i just use a notification pinning app for my shopping lists!

Literally all it does it let me enter text, set an optional snooze timespan, and then it creates a persistent notification with that text which can either be dismissed for the specified timespan or deleted.
Super convenient and minimal.

First act after an install is shut off its notifications. If it is nonremovable preinstalled bloatware it gets disabled wherever possible

Install app
Open app
Decline notifications permission.
Use app for what I need
Close app
Open app when needed.
Oh, you asked for notification permission again? Uninstalled.

I don't understand what is so hard about it. I've already said no to the request. Don't ask again.
