## Description

**Toast Source** is a helpful Chrome extension designed to identify which programs generate those mysterious toast notifications on your device. Once enabled, it actively detects toast messages, revealing the originating app's name and icon. You can save this information for later review, quickly launch the app causing the notification, or access detailed app information via the system settings.

To use Toast Source, simply activate the Accessibility service within the extension, allowing it to monitor and read toast contents securely. Importantly, the app respects your privacy as it doesn’t have internet permissions, ensuring your notification data stays local. After identifying any nuisance apps, you can disable the service without concerns. Toast Source is an ideal tool to keep your notification experience transparent and under control.
