Editor's Overview

PingOff is a notification application developed by juanitobananas, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.4 weighing in at 2.87 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 2.87 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "juanitobananas" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

PingOff is a simple app that automatically toggles Do Not Disturb based on the apps you use.

Do you like your phone quiet while reading, meditating, or playing a game? Hate getting interrupted by random notifications? Forget to turn on DND and regret it right after?

Then PingOff is the perfect app for you!

PingOff is open source and released under the GPLv3 license[1]. Feel free to browse or fork the code[2].

Required Android Permissions

▸ ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY to change Do Not Disturb mode.
▸ PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS to know which app is currently running.
▸ BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE to detect which app is in the foreground.
▸ RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED to automatically start on boot if enabled.
▸ REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS to make sure it keeps working in the background.

Accessibility Services

▸ Purpose: PingOff uses the Accessibility Services API to detect which app is currently in the foreground. This lets the app automatically enable Do Not Disturb when you switch to one of your selected apps, and disable it when you leave them.
▸ Privacy and Security: The service observes only the package name of the active app. This information is used exclusively on-device to check against your personal app list. No personal data is collected, stored remotely, or shared.
▸ Permission Scope: The Accessibility Services permission is strictly used for foreground app detection. It does not read screen content, interact with other apps, or perform any other function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PingOff free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does PingOff require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is PingOff safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by juanitobananas. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update PingOff?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
