From the app
Your data stays with you
- No ads
- No account and no sign-in
- No tracking and no analytics
- The app has no permission to use the internet
- Your alerts and lists are stored on your phone
- If your phone's backup is on, Android may keep a copy in your own Google account
Share only when you choose
You can make a PDF, a CSV file, an image or a backup copy. The app hands the file to your phone's own share menu, and you decide where it goes. The app sends nothing by itself.
Permissions, explained
- Notifications
- to show your alerts
- Alarms and reminders
- so alerts ring at the exact minute you chose
- Microphone
- only if you turn on dictation in Settings. Your phone's built-in speech service turns your voice into text. The app does not record or keep audio. The phone's speech service may send the voice to its provider, depending on your phone and settings.
- Vibration
- so you feel the alert
- Start on restart
- to set your alerts again after the phone restarts
Questions
Is Nu Uit free?
Yes. No ads, no account and nothing to buy inside the app.
Which phones does it work on?
Android phones with Android 7.0 or newer. There is no iPhone version.
Does it need the internet?
No. The app has no permission to use the internet. Your alerts and lists stay on your phone.
What if an alert does not ring?
Tap the bell at the top of the Today screen, or open More, then "Check my alerts". The app checks with you, step by step, that alerts are allowed, that their sound is on, that they can ring at the exact time and that the phone does not put the app to sleep. At the end you can try a test alert.
What happens when the phone restarts?
Nothing is lost. The app sets your alerts again by itself after the phone restarts.
Can I move my alerts to a new phone?
Yes. Make a backup copy in the app and put it back on the new phone. If your phone's backup is on, Android may also keep a copy in your own Google account.
Questions or ideas?
Write an email. It goes straight to the person who built the app.
