What it does

Words, names and phrases

Choose what to look for, and the app alerts you when it appears in a message.

You choose the apps

Only the apps you select are read. An app you did not select is not read at all.

Precise filtering

Add words you do not want to see, and limit alerts to specific people or groups.

No flooding

Set a gap between alerts so many messages from one chat do not flood you. You can also snooze an alert for an hour, 3 hours or a week.

Your own sound

Pick a sound and get an alert from Alertly itself, so you recognize it right away.

Test before you rely on it

A test screen shows whether a given message would match a rule you created.

How it works
