Everything you need to write about Aldang: the facts, screenshots and icons, and a plain description of what leaves the phone.
In 60 words
Aldang keeps a history of your Android notifications on your phone, even after you swipe them away, so you can search them later. The inbox, search and stats are free, with no account and no ads. Aldang Pro adds an AI briefing: tap it and a day of notifications becomes one short report. Notification text leaves the phone only then, as excerpts of up to 800 bytes each, sent to an AI that doesn't keep them.

What leaves the phone
English
Notification text leaves the phone only when the user taps “Generate briefing”, after a one-time consent. Aldang then sends excerpts of that day’s notifications (time, app, sender, title and text, up to 800 bytes each; no photos, and nothing from apps the user left out) through Aldang’s server to an AI that doesn’t keep them. Aldang’s server doesn’t store them either. The briefing itself is saved only on the phone. The inbox, search and stats never leave the phone. Other traffic is limited to the Google Play subscription check and usage statistics, which never include notification content and can be turned off.
Deutsch
Benachrichtigungstexte verlassen das Handy nur, wenn man auf „Briefing erstellen“ tippt, beim ersten Mal nach einer Einwilligung. Aldang schickt dann Auszüge der Benachrichtigungen dieses Tages (Uhrzeit, App, Absender, Titel und Text, höchstens 800 Byte pro Benachrichtigung; keine Fotos und nichts aus Apps, die man ausgeschlossen hat) über den Aldang-Server an eine KI, die keine Daten speichert. Das Briefing selbst wird nur auf dem Handy gespeichert. Eingang, Suche und Statistik verlassen das Handy nie. Sonst gehen nur die Abo-Prüfung bei Google Play und Nutzungsstatistiken hinaus, die nie Benachrichtigungsinhalte enthalten und sich abschalten lassen.
Español
El texto de las notificaciones solo sale del móvil cuando se toca «Generar informe», y la primera vez tras dar el consentimiento. Aldang envía entonces fragmentos de las notificaciones de ese día (hora, app, remitente, título y texto, hasta 800 bytes por notificación; sin fotos y sin nada de las apps que se hayan excluido) a una IA que no conserva datos. El informe se guarda solo en el móvil. La bandeja, la búsqueda y las estadísticas nunca salen del móvil. Lo demás que se envía es la comprobación de la suscripción en Google Play y estadísticas de uso, que nunca incluyen el contenido de las notificaciones y se pueden desactivar.
Português (Brasil)
O texto das notificações só sai do celular quando a pessoa toca em “Gerar resumo”, e na primeira vez só depois do consentimento. O Aldang então envia trechos das notificações daquele dia (hora, app, remetente, título e texto, até 800 bytes por notificação; sem fotos e nada dos apps que foram excluídos) para uma IA que não guarda dados. O resumo fica salvo só no celular. A caixa de entrada, a busca e as estatísticas nunca saem do celular. Fora isso, só são enviadas a verificação da assinatura no Google Play e estatísticas de uso, que nunca incluem o conteúdo das notificações e podem ser desativadas.
Français
Le texte des notifications ne quitte le téléphone que lorsqu’on appuie sur « Générer une synthèse », après un consentement demandé une seule fois. Aldang envoie alors des extraits des notifications de la journée (heure, app, expéditeur, titre et texte, 800 octets au plus par notification ; aucune photo, et rien des apps exclues) à une IA qui ne conserve aucune donnée. La synthèse n’est enregistrée que sur le téléphone. La boîte de réception, la recherche et les statistiques ne quittent jamais le téléphone. Le reste se limite à la vérification de l’abonnement Google Play et à des statistiques d’utilisation, qui ne contiennent jamais le contenu des notifications et peuvent être désactivées.
日本語
通知の内容がスマホの外に出るのは、「ブリーフィングを生成」をタップしたときだけです（初回のみ同意を求めます）。そのときAldangは、その日の通知の抜粋（時刻、アプリ、送信者、タイトル、本文を1件あたり800バイトまで。写真は送らず、除外したアプリの通知も送りません）を、データを保持しないAIに送ります。ブリーフィングはスマホの中にだけ保存されます。通知一覧・検索・統計はスマホの外に出ません。ほかに送るのは、Google Playの購読確認と利用統計だけです。利用統計に通知の内容は含まれず、オフにできます。
Italiano
Il testo delle notifiche lascia il telefono solo quando si tocca “Crea briefing”, dopo un consenso chiesto una sola volta. Aldang invia allora estratti delle notifiche di quel giorno a un'AI che non conserva i dati: ora, app, mittente, titolo e testo, fino a 800 byte per notifica, senza foto e senza nulla dalle app escluse. Il briefing viene salvato solo sul telefono. L'elenco delle notifiche, la ricerca e le statistiche non lasciano mai il telefono. Per il resto escono solo la verifica dell'abbonamento su Google Play e le statistiche d'uso, che non contengono mai il contenuto delle notifiche e si possono disattivare.
中文（繁體）
只有在使用者點「產生簡報」時，通知內容才會離開手機，第一次會先徵求同意。這時 Aldang 會把當天通知的摘錄傳送給不保留資料的 AI：時間、App、傳送者、標題和內文，每則最多 800 位元組；不含照片，也不含使用者排除的 App 的通知。簡報只會儲存在手機裡。通知匣、搜尋和統計都不會離開手機。除此之外，只會傳送 Google Play 訂閱確認和使用統計；使用統計不含通知內容，也可以關閉。
한국어
알림 내용이 폰 밖으로 나가는 때는 사용자가 '브리핑 생성'을 누를 때뿐이고, 처음 한 번은 동의를 받습니다. 이때 알당(Aldang)은 그날 알림의 발췌를 데이터를 보관하지 않는 AI로 보냅니다. 발췌는 받은 시각·앱·보낸 사람·제목·본문을 건마다 800바이트까지 자른 것이고, 사진과 사용자가 뺀 앱의 알림은 보내지 않습니다. 만들어진 브리핑은 폰에만 저장됩니다. 알림함·검색·통계는 폰 밖으로 나가지 않습니다. 그 밖에 나가는 것은 Google Play 구독 확인과 사용 통계뿐이고, 사용 통계에는 알림 내용이 들어가지 않으며 끌 수 있습니다.

Please get these right
- The briefing uses a cloud AI model. It is not on-device AI. The history, search and stats work on the phone.
- Search is keyword search on the phone, not AI search.
- Aldang keeps notifications that arrive after it's installed and given notification access, not ones from before, and it only has what each notification showed.
- Android only.
About the developer
Byte-Creo is a one-person product studio: planning, design, development and operations are all handled by one person. It builds across web and mobile, and every product starts from a problem I've run into myself.
Aldang started the same way. With 200 to 300 notifications a day, the important ones kept slipping past me. Instead of turning notifications off, I needed a way to keep getting all of them without missing what mattered. Aldang keeps past notifications as a history on the device, and when you ask, AI turns a day of them into one short report.
The principles are simple. The notification history stays on the device. The AI briefing runs only when you ask for it, sending only the excerpts it needs to an AI that doesn't keep them. There are no ads and no data sales; only the AI briefing, which has a real running cost, is a subscription.
I built all of it myself, from the app and the server to all ten language versions. — Byte-Creo
