Important notifications appear here and can be viewed later.
Features:
- Better spam filtering than Focus modes
- View unsent messages
- Automatically translate notifications into your native language
How it works:
Karui evaluates notifications privately, entirely on device, using your important contacts and calendar info, and decides whether to show them or hide them.
Privacy:
Karui runs privately on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence. It uses an on-device model from Apple, so your private notifications never leave your device. Karui has no server, does not require an account, and sends zero analytics.
Requirements:
Requires an iPhone running iOS 26 or newer and Apple Intelligence enabled.
Limitations:
Tapping a Karui notification opens the original app, but does not jump directly to the message. Just open the original notification for that.
