Notifyr, the iOS app that lets you receive notifications on your Mac using Bluetooth, is available for free for a limited time only. Notifyr uses a companion Mac app to receive the notifications on your Mac, letting you read text messages and more without picking up your phone. It was developed by 17-year-old Joost van Dijk from The Netherlands.
Notifyr first surfaced back in May, before Apple demonstrated similar Continuity features at WWDC.
Notifyr will be free every other day for 7 days starting today (August 6). It normally runs for $3.99. Be sure to download the Mac companion app from here
Notifyr shows all your incoming notifications from your iPhone on your Mac.
With Notifyr, you’ll never miss a notification again: you can keep your phone in your pocket and still know what’s going on. You can read your incoming WhatsApp messages, see who's following you on Instagram or read any of the other kind of notifications from any app on your iPhone. It's also possible to mute notifications from any app you like.
Once paired, you’ll never need to open the app on your phone again. When the connection gets lost, Notifyr will automatically reconnect to your phone once it becomes available again.
Because Notifyr uses Bluetooth Low Energy, you can keep using Notifyr all day without it draining your battery.
You can download Notifyr - Receive iOS notifications on your Mac from the App Store for free for a limited time. You can grab the Mac companion app here.
And once again ALL people who love their iPhones and IPads but have Windiws pc's are left out in the cold. I am a diehard iPhone buyer and user, happily pay the rather extreme price for a product which isn't even usable without a jailbreak and has specs that are ALLWAYS less than Android competitors. Why assuming everybody can afford or even want a MAC?
Because they can do anything PC can't. Believe me I only wanted PC for price which was the hugest mistake I ever made towards buying a computer, I got a mb pro retina for Christmas a year later and I never got tired of it, but since it's Windoze 8 for PC, it can't come even close to stacking up against Mac, it doesn't even have the same interface or improve anything. Even my family stayed on 7.
