## Description

**Past Notifications** is a powerful Chrome extension designed to record and manage all notifications displayed in your status bar. Never miss important alerts again, even if your notifications were cleared or missed due to device reboot or accidental dismissal.

Simply enable Past Notifications in system settings to start tracking, with a clear and easy setup process.

## Review summary

Past Notifications is appreciated for reliably recording notifications, allowing users to recover dismissed alerts and review message timing. It is valued for its simplicity, filtering options, and search features. However, multiple users report disruptive ads after updates, capped recording limits without an unlimited upgrade, and functionality issues where notifications are no longer captured. Additionally, the app misses features like distinguishing multiple accounts' notifications and quick access from notifications to their respective apps. Users recommend testing the free version before committing due to these concerns.

### Pros

- Effectively captures and records past notifications, useful for retrieving accidentally dismissed notifications.
- Simple to set up and use, with a well-functioning filter to ignore unwanted notifications.
- Allows users to search and hide notifications easily, enhancing usability.
- Runs well on various devices with proper battery optimization settings.
- Provides long-term notification history, helpful for users needing to reference old notifications.

### Cons

- Persistent and obtrusive advertisements that interfere with app usability, especially after recent updates.
- Limited notification recording capacity (around 3000 records), lacking an unlimited option despite user requests.
- Stopped working properly after recent updates; some users report no notifications being captured.
- Does not handle certain native notifications well, nor does it differentiate notifications by account for apps like Twitter.
- Lacks direct shortcuts from notifications to corresponding apps or messages, reducing convenience.
