This is why I use ad blockers, switched to Linux and why I'm always quick to delete apps that continuously nag me to do something.
That's what I like about FOSS. You see very few distractions that try to grab your attention. This leads to a rather quiet digital life.
To take it a step further, you could enable the Do Not Disturb feature on your devices and only grant notification permissions to essential apps. This way, you can enjoy some peace of mind.
FWIW - I consider "notifications" a harmful anti-pattern.
There is no day-to-day thing that requires a notification.
A phone call? Like... the original use of a phone?
I guess I needed to specify that a phone should still be a phone.
I apologize for my overestimation.
