# Choosing Which Apps Proximate Watches for Notifications

> Learn how to add and remove apps from Proximate's watch list so you only receive cursor notifications from the apps that matter most to you.

Proximate only monitors notifications from the applications you choose. This keeps your cursor clutter-free and makes sure every alert you see is one you actually care about. You can add or remove apps from your monitored list at any time directly from Proximate's Settings.

<Tip>
  Only apps you've explicitly selected will trigger cursor notifications — you remain in full control of what Proximate watches. If an app ever becomes too noisy, simply remove it from the monitored list.
