Feature request: delay notifications until business hours

[martinpospech]

I would love to see a setting where I can set business hours and outside of those, all notifications would be either muted or delayed until the next business day.

A switch that lets mentions, channels or mentions in specific channels ignore this would probably be useful too.

Shoot, I meant to create this in the zulip mobile repo. If the desktop version already has this, please ignore.

Android, at least, has a "do not disturb" feature at the OS level that you can do this with. But yeah, this is a mobile question.

Tracking this in the zulip/zulip repo, since we'd want the implementation of this feature to live on the server. There are two issues for it:

• https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/6629
• https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/9265

This is true (and iOS has a similar feature too) but for a lot of users it doesn't solve the problem. The "do not disturb" feature is designed much more for "it's night and I don't want any notifications, unless it's something important" than for "it's out of business hours and I don't want any notifications from work, only from non-work", which is the use case this request is about. It'd be a pain to configure it to serve the latter use case, and it's basically impossible to do so while also using it for the intended use case.
