Native Android application with a small footprint, that turns your statusbar into a pinboard

MicroPinner

MicroPinner is a lightweight dialog-only application, that turns your statusbar into a pingboard. (You can basically create your own notifications) You can customize the notifications title and content, as well as its priority and visibility (Works on Android 5+ only).

Features

The application itself

• consumes no memory in the background (no background-services, no background-processes)
• has no impact on your battery as it uses only native functions of Android
• is compatible down to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (sdk16)
• weights less than 850kb (Version v2.0.1)
• is fully open source!

Design & UI

• MicroPinner follows the official Material Design guidelines for dialogs.

Customization

• You can customize the notifications title and content text, as well as its system wide priority (choose between normal, minimal, low and high) and visibility (choose between public, private and secret) if you're running Android Lollipop and up.
• Created pins are restored on reboot. Delete them by simply swiping it away.
