    Increasing Ringer Volume - starting with Vibration only in App

    Peter Mitteregger · 1 · Last reply by Nikolay

    Hello, 

    My kids sleep in the same room as I do. At the same time, I must not miss an alert when on duty. So I have to make Pushover really loud to never miss it. Which wakes the kids... Much nicer would be if I would tell Pushover to first vibrate for 20 seconds, then start at low volume and get louder slowly to max volume.

    Please!

    Thank you!

    Add the option to have 2 different application icons for dark/light theme

    Charlie Hird · 0 · Posted

    My application icon uses black as the main colour. (not able to be changed...) This works great on the light theme apps. but if the user is using a dark theme my icon does not work. I think it would be slick if we could have the option to add a second icon to match with the dark theme.

    Android home screen widget dashboard

    Dax · 0 · Posted

    Node-RED has a great dashboard feature. I am monitoring several parameters and have set up the NR dashboard to display virtual LEDs to indicate their status (red/green).

    It would be fantastic if Pushover was expanded to include a customisable home screen widget which could display such things.

    Happy to chat further if you have questions about how it could work.

    All the best,

    Dax.

    Bring back the Applications list with message counts

    Honza · 1 · Last reply by W.D.

    The Applications view on iPhone used to show all apps sorted alphabetically with number of messages next to each app name. This was perfect. Now, after updating to the latest version, I see no message counts, each app row takes more space because it shows a preview of the last message received, and the apps are no longer sorted alphabetically. This is a useless mess. And I could not find an option in settings that would let me to switch back to the old view.

    Pushover says:

    Error An error occured in the Pushover Desktop application that prevented it from working. Permission to show notifications has been denied

    Safari Console says:

    Notification prompting can only be done from a user gesture

    Pre-existing registrations work, although icons all now show as the Safari icon in the notifications.

    Official Desktop App?

    Zachary DuBois · 0 · Posted

    Will there be a macOS Catalina official Pushover client now that Catalyst makes it easy to convert an iOS app into a macOS app? This would be awesome considering both unofficial Pushover desktop apps are now unmaintained.

    Add Section to store Favorites/Important/Pin message

    Federico · 1 · Last reply by Brian

    A new Section in the left panel called "Favorites" / "Important" / "Pin" message.

    Each message will have an icon to mark it or slide action.

    The reason is to easily read important message, and not scroll until I find the one I want to make an action or Search by text.

    Setting for notification duration (stay on screen)

    Ricky · 0 · Posted

    I'd like to resurface this request if it's at all possible as it would be extremely helpful for us using this service on an Android TV (more specifically, an Nvidia Shield)...

    https://support.pushover.net/i81-setting-for-notification-duration-stay-on-screen

    The default notification length is only 3 seconds which is far too short... I'd love it to stay on for 8 or 10 seconds.  The app "Notifications for Android TV" claims they have a feature to control the length of time that a notification is displayed... Are they not using standard Android notifications?

    Option to Keep Unread Notifications in iOS Notification Center

    Jeff · 0 · Posted

    Problem currently exists when a user taps on a single notification, ALL notifications from Pushover are immediately deleted from the iOS Notification Center.

    Please create a settings switch to allow the user to choose which behavior is most productive for them.

    --------------------

    Explanation:

    Most similar apps will leave the unread notifications in the iOS Notification Center and only remove the notification the user taps on. By Pushover deleting them all at once, it somewhat defeats the purpose of having individual notifications.

    For example, maybe the user reads one of the notifications, taps on it and deals with that issue. But

    Alexa skill for notifications on Amazon Echos

    I would really like to send notifications to my echo via an API. And as I can see, there is currently no Alexa skill with this option. Maybe it’s a thing for pushover?

    Tray app

    mark.faine@pm.me · 1 · Last reply by Mike

    I would like a tray app (preferably for Windows, MacOS, and Linux) that is just a client for sending to my existing devices, it does not need to receive messages. I don't need another web based client. I want something that allows me to quickly shoot off messages to any or all of my devices

    Enable receipt/callback for non-critical alerts

    Derek O'Harrow · 1 · Last reply by Jon

    There seem to be options to provide "delivery receipt" callbacks and also cancel messages, but these seem to only apply to emergency priority messages.

    Can this functionality be extended to all message priorities to enable better notification management and the ability to perform actions if notifications aren't received, timeout, or if you want to clear a notification down once the issue is resolved.

    Could they add Microsoft Edge to the supported browsers? In the meantime, it is also derived from the Chromium code...

    Allow user to select a delivery group during a web-based subscription flow

    Cuu508 · 0 · Posted

    External services can implement web-based subscription flow (https://pushover.net/api/subscriptions#web) and use it as an user-friendly mechanism to create Pushover subscriptions and retrieve subscription keys. Users don't have to manually copy the keys around, which is great.

    Unless I'm missing something, it looks like the web-based flow does not support delivery groups – the user cannot select what key (their user key or one of the delivery group keys) will be passed back to the external service. It would be great if this could be added, – we could then use the web-based subscription flow to also set up subscriptions to Pushover

    Customize custom sounds in Pushover clients

    Ramon · 0 · Posted

    Its great that Pushover now supports customizing sounds https://pushover.net/api#sounds However, end-users should have the ability to override each of these sounds.

    For example, I have a app that sends 4 types of notifications:

    - Generic information (ding) - Alarm (buzz) - Healthy (yeah) - Unhealthy (sadtrombone) However, these are the sounds I favor so that I don't always have to pickup my phone. I can imagine that other users of my team want to play different sounds but currently they cannot customize this. If would be great if these custom sound id's could be overriden.

    Clear all button for notifications

    My use-case is to clear all seen notifications. In order to make it more convenient, it makes sense to have a clear-all button in my opinion.

    Play a sound from a URL

    Ged · 1 · Last reply by makoto

    When creating a message through the API, can we specify a URL for the sound? eg. https://domain.com/media/sound1.mp3 Either this, or can we upload sounds to our account through the API? Use case examples: 1 • We then can use their own sound library  2 • We could then use a text to voice converter, save it as a mp3, then send the push notification. Resulting in reading the message out aloud. 3 • Clients could play whole songs as an alert using their own library 4.• Developers could dynamically merge a few short mp3 sounds into one mp3 before sending the message.
