On Android you can designate certain notifications to be high priority.

Or, in GB, on the notifications app list you can click the cog next to an app and use those filters. I haven’t played much with it yet though.

It doesn’t have storage or a headphone port. But it will stream music over Bluetooth. So if you want to annoy everyone you job with, you can listen to its tinny speaker :-)

Yeah. GadgetBridge allows me to set up an allow-list / block-list for notifications. So I can get SMS on my wrist but ignore social media pings.

It has a small rubber lug - which has worked so far at keeping out the grime. But I don’t have a manual labour job.

Get something which works with GadgetBridge. You’ll be in complete control.

Thank you 😄

Happy to say the latest nightly does support notifications. My wrist is buzzing with action!

I’m the author. I’ve now set up notifications on the advice of just about everyone. It’s pretty cool!

The question is why do you want to convert them?

If you use something like JellyFin as your media server and client, it will transcode them as you watch them. If you’re on your phone using crappy WiFi, it will adapt the bitrate down automatically. If you’re at home using a projector connected by Ethernet, you’ll get the original file.

If you think you’re running out of space, it’s often easier and cheaper to buy more HDDs. H265 and modern audio codec will save you a maximum of 50%. For about £200 you can get a 15TB HDD.

I don’t know if you looked at the photo in my post - but there’s a rubber flap covering the USB-port.
