Vibify aims to inform you for any pending notifications on your phone. To do that, Vibify does a very small vibration when you pick up your phone. Vibify works only if your phone remains locked and still, saving up as much battery as possible. Select the applications you want to be supported by Vibify and enjoy.
A similar feature is available on some Samsung devices called "Smart Alert", but Vibify offers you even more options and customization.
Thanks for downloading.

Hey this seems a great app. I always liked the "Smart Alert" feature by Samsung. Keep it up! unfortunately I have no knowledge on graphic design so I can not help you with the logo :(

Good luck

No screenshot to show us how it looks when one picks up their device to see the notification? You do realize you're competing with well-established apps on the Play Store like Peek & AcDisplay. Grats on the front page recognition, however you offer nothing to interest me. I'm adding this constructive criticism so your app won't get buried in the forum with no recognition like so many others.

Hey could you make it like Acdisplay + Music menu on the screen.

Sorry my friend but I am not sure what you mean. You mean to have a special screen at lockscreen? Thank you

Your critisism is more that welcome. Thank you a lot. You are right about the lack of features compering to those apps, but that's why I post it here. XDA community is really great and I know you can all help me with your ideas and thoughts. Thanks again :highfive:

It doesn't require any special kernel. It uses wakelocks but acquires and releases in a way so not to tear off your battery. But of course if you leave your phone with a missed notification still many hours it will drain some battery.

Hi developer, could you include HTC "Messages" and "WeChat" too?

Thanks in advance..

Yes I will, but I am also planning to include an in-app way to add your own applications to the support list.

When it comes to icon...

here is my hint:

if you like you are free to use it - simple thanks is enough :)

PS. Using inkscape you can modify colors to your needs.

Thank you soooo much. The icon looks great! So much better than the current one :highfive:

Great idea, really great UI.

I like it. A lot.

About the only thing I can suggest is multiple vibration options. That and maybe an option to set "low battery" parameters.


Nice work!

Great app, working good! Can you make a lockscreen? Like peek.

I will look into that maybe later. Right now my cause is not to copy an already well established app but to bring some new functionallity that is missing from out there. But I am not saying that a lackscreen layout is out of my plans. Thanks

Great suggestions. I will try to keep this very easy to use interface but to add some more parameters. I am working on it. Thanks

    New version available at the first post!

    v0.3.0
    - option to add any installed app to the supported list (+)
    - long press an app to remove it from the list
    - global settings button when you open the navigation drawer (top right)
    - new options: Sleep Time, Vibration duration, Still time threshold, Sleep duration after movement, select how many times you want to be notified.
    - Testing new logo. Tell me what you think (haven't decided yet)

    Let there be bugs... I am waiting :victory::highfive:

    Cheers

    The improvements are looking great...the only thing that's keeping me from using it, is that it needs to make use of the proximity sensor, so that it doesn't activate until removed from a pocket, as @hatdrc suggested. This will cut down on battery drain and prevent the annoyance of the device constantly vibrating while detecting walking movement.
