Add Notification Settings Toggle to Niagara Button #2238

No response

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an action to the Niagara Button that can toggle between notification states (sound/vibrate/silent).

This could be a simple toggle to cycle through states, with the button showing the activated mode.

If a swipe toggle, this could be expanded to display the notification settings when a swipe action starts and the user could quickly swipe up to the notification setting they want to set.

Feature Request Procedure

Hi @skylordjason, Thank you for your suggestion, but unfortunately, we don't plan to add the proposed feature as it falls outside the scope of the launcher. Additionally, implementing this feature would require us to ask users for "Do Not Disturb" permission, which may not be suitable for all users. Furthermore, the feature would not be as versatile as the system-level action, which allows for seamless switching between different states with just one action.

We recommend installing third-party apps such as Sound Profile,, which are specifically designed to cater to such use cases and bind this app shortcut/widget to the Niagara button to quickly perform the action.

Example: Sound Profile app Widget + Niagara button swipe-up action. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/96917972/231276119-02162e1a-001f-4c7d-ab91-fbb72bd353a2.mp4
