These notifications can be used for various applications and integrations like Proxmox and Uptime Kuma. 2.

This protects sensitive notifications from unauthorized access. 3. Custom Sounds: iGotify allows configuring custom sounds for different notification priority levels. This offers a clear distinction between important and less urgent notifications. 4. Markdown Support: Notifications formatted in Markdown are fully supported. This allows sending and displaying structured and visually appealing notifications. 5. Message Decryption: iGotify decrypts received messages using a public key generated on the iOS device. This ensures the security and confidentiality of the notifications. 6. Multi-User Support: The app supports multiple users, which is particularly useful in environments where several individuals need to receive notifications from one or more Gotify servers. 7.
