A private notification history for your Android phone

Saksi saves the notifications your phone shows, so you can read them again after they leave the shade. Search them, see when a WhatsApp or Telegram message was edited, and your history stays on your phone. Saksi only keeps what Android shows after you turn on Notification Access. It cannot save messages that never appear as a notification, or content an app hides.

One place for notifications from your favorite apps.

From messages and social updates to emails and everyday alerts, Saksi helps you keep your Android notification history organized.

  • WhatsApp
  • Telegram
  • Messenger
  • Google Messages
  • Discord
  • Instagram
  • Facebook
  • X
  • TikTok
  • Gmail

And many more Android apps.

Saksi saves notifications from the apps you allow. What ends up in your history depends on the apps you have installed, whether Notification Access is on, and what Android shows in each notification.

Supported apps in the help centre(opens the docs site)

Saksi is an independent app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the apps named here and has no special integration with them: it saves only what they show in Android notifications. Names and logos belong to their owners.

Notifications don't last. Your history can.

Swipe one away, restart your phone, or let an app clear its own notification, and the text is gone from the shade. Saksi keeps a copy of what your notifications showed, so you can come back to it later.

  • Gone from the shade, kept in Saksi

    A notification you swiped away stays in your Timeline. The free plan keeps the last 7 days.

  • Edits leave a trace

    When a WhatsApp or Telegram one to one chat notification proves an edit, Saksi keeps the earlier version next to the new one.

  • Labels you can trust

    Every label says what Saksi actually saw. Possible deletions and unproven changes are labelled as uncertain.

WhatsApp, Telegram and the apps you choose

Saksi works with what each app shows in its notifications. Here is what that means in practice. WhatsApp groups use the same handling but have not had their own test run.

Any other app you allowSavedNot provenNot tracked

Saksi saves what Android shows in notifications from the apps you allow. It cannot save messages that never appear as a notification or content an app hides. Open or muted chats often do not create one.

Photos and files: Saksi saves a copy only when Android gives it access. Often only the file name or type is available, and Saksi says so.

Saksi is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Telegram.

One timeline for everything your phone told you

Scroll back through your notifications, open a conversation, or narrow things down in a couple of taps.

  • Search

    Search the text, conversation names, app names and file names Saksi saved.

  • Filters

    Filter by app, or by event: New, Edited, Deleted, Updated, Cleared or Dismissed. The Deleted filter also shows possible deletions.

  • Conversations

    Open a conversation to read its saved messages in order.

  • See what changed

    Compare an edited message with its earlier version, and open the original record.

Every label says how sure Saksi is

A notification can change or vanish for many reasons. Saksi tells you which of these it actually saw, and labels possible deletions and unproven changes as uncertain.

  1. Captured text

    New

    The text Android showed in the notification, saved the first time Saksi saw it.

  2. Proven edit

    Message editedCaption edited

    The notification showed clear proof of an edit, in WhatsApp or Telegram one to one chats. Saksi keeps the earlier version. In some other messaging apps the same badge can appear for an unconfirmed change.

  3. Deletion notice

    Deleted

    Marked Deleted only when the messaging app's own notification says the message was deleted. Today Saksi recognizes this notice from WhatsApp, in English and Indonesian, and keeps what it saw before. Any other disappearance is shown as a possible deletion, which is uncertain.

  4. Possible deletion

    Possible deletion (unconfirmed)

    The message is no longer in the notification. This often means it was deleted, but it is not confirmed. A disappeared notification is never proof that the sender deleted a message.

  5. Unavailable content

    Content unavailableNotification reference · no saved file

    Android or the app hid the content, or did not provide a readable file. Saksi says so instead of guessing.

The label style shows how sure Saksi is: filled means Saksi saw it, a solid outline means the app said so, dashed means not confirmed, dotted means not available.

Dismissed and Cleared mean a notification was removed by you, the app or Android. Neither is treated as a deletion. Updated means the notification changed, but Saksi cannot prove it was an edit.

Saksi can alert you about proven edits, deletion notices and possible deletions. Alerts are normal Android notifications, so your notification and Do Not Disturb settings decide whether they pop up. Every alert is also kept in the Alerts inbox.

Once Notification Access is on, Saksi keeps a private history of what Android shows in notifications from the apps you allow.

These are illustrations of Saksi features, not screenshots. Android shows Saksi only what each app puts in its notifications.

Private by design. Kept on your phone.

Saksi has no account. Your notification history is stored on your phone, is not uploaded to Saksi servers, and is shared only when you choose to share something.

How Saksi handles privacy

  • No account

    There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to.

  • Not uploaded to Saksi servers

    Your notification and chat content is stored locally on your phone. Saksi does not upload it.

  • Your permission

    Notification Access is an Android permission you grant yourself. You can turn it off at any time in Android settings.

  • You decide what is shared

    Saved content leaves your phone only when you tap Share.

  • 7-day automatic cleanup

    The free plan keeps 7 days of history. Older items are deleted automatically, about once a day, and cannot be restored.

  • Delete all data

    Erases Saksi's archive, saved files and alerts on your phone, then pauses capture. It does not delete messages in other apps or copies you already shared.

Three steps to your own history

Saksi needs one Android permission. After that, your Timeline fills as notifications arrive.

  1. 1

    Install Saksi

    Saksi is coming to Google Play for phones with Android 8.0 or later.

  2. 2

    Turn on Notification Access

    Open Saksi, tap Open Notification Access and turn Saksi on. Setup walks you through it.

  3. 3

    Let your Timeline fill

    Notifications are saved as they arrive. Every app is included by default, and you can exclude any app in Settings, Capture & Apps, App Filter.

Good to know

  • Saksi starts with the notifications still in your notification shade when you turn on Notification Access. Notifications you already dismissed cannot be saved.
  • If a chat is open on screen or muted, there may be no notification to save.
  • Some phones stop background apps. If Saksi stops saving, set its battery use to Unrestricted in your phone's settings.
Setup guide in the docs

Share a receipt, not your whole chat

Turn a saved message into a Saksi receipt, as an image or as text, and send it through Android's share sheet.

Before you share, you can hide

  • The conversation name
  • The message text
  • Specific words you choose

A receipt shows what your phone's notification showed. It is not verification by the messaging app.

Questions, answered plainly

More questions in the FAQ

Can Saksi recover deleted messages?

No. Saksi is not a recovery tool. It keeps a copy of what your notifications showed while it was running. In WhatsApp and Telegram one to one chats, a message that disappears from a notification is labelled as a possible deletion, which is not proof that the sender deleted it.

Does Saksi read my chats?

Only what your notifications show. After you allow Notification Access, Saksi saves the text Android displays in a notification. It cannot open WhatsApp, Telegram or any other app, read messages that never appeared as a notification, or see content an app hides.

Why does Saksi need Notification Access?

Notification Access is the Android permission that lets an app read the notifications your phone shows. Saksi needs it to save them. You grant it in Android settings and can turn it off there at any time.

Does it work with WhatsApp and Telegram?

Yes, with the notifications WhatsApp and Telegram show on your phone. In WhatsApp and Telegram one to one chats, Saksi can show proven edits and possible deletions. WhatsApp groups use the same handling but have not had their own test run. In Telegram groups and channels, changes are shown as Updated. Saksi is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Telegram.

Can Saksi save photos, videos and voice notes?

Only when the notification gives Android a readable copy. WhatsApp and Telegram often do not, so you will usually see the caption and a file reference instead. You can always import a file yourself in Media. Files over 20 MB are not saved.

Is Saksi free?

Yes. Saksi will be free at launch, with a 7-day history and no ads at launch. Everything in the current pre-release is included. Saksi Pro, with a 30-day history and no ads, is planned and not available yet. Prices will be shown in Google Play.

Which phones does Saksi work on?

Phones with Android 8.0 or later. The current version was tested on an OPPO phone with Android 16. Other brands should work, but battery settings differ. If Saksi stops saving, set its battery use to Unrestricted.
