The problem
Why are your Android notifications arriving late?
Android uses a battery-saving system called Doze. When your screen turns off, Doze puts apps to sleep and batches their network access into rare maintenance windows.
Doze is often far too aggressive. Notifications from messaging apps, email, smart home devices, and security cameras can be delayed by minutes, sometimes hours. And Android gives you no setting to turn Doze off; traditional workarounds need root access or ADB commands.
DozeOff fixes this without root. It either keeps your device out of deep Doze sleep entirely, or wakes it regularly so pending notifications from every app come through. Your choice.

How it works
Two ways to beat Doze
Pick the mode that fits how you use your phone. Switch any time from the home screen.
Never enters Doze
Max stops your device entering Doze sleep in the first place. It does the best job of getting notifications from all your apps through on time.
Trade-off: some devices show a small alarm icon in the status bar or on the lock screen. You will never hear an alarm, and many phones never show the icon at all.
Sleeps, then wakes on schedule
Balanced lets your device sleep normally, then briefly wakes it at an interval you choose. Each wake pulls your phone out of Doze long enough for pending notifications from every app to come through.
Trade-off: nothing appears in your status bar or lock screen, but a notification arriving just after a wake waits for the next one.
