1. Receive Push Notifications: iGotify lets users receive notifications directly from a Gotify server on their iPhone or iPad. These notifications can be used for various applications and integrations like Proxmox and Uptime Kuma. 2. Biometric Security Feature: The app adds an extra layer of security by allowing access to be locked with biometric features like Face ID or Touch ID. 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. Docker Integration: The app seamlessly works with Docker instances and facilitates the setup of local and remote Gotify servers powered by Docker containers. Users can manage multiple servers and instances through the app. 8. Multi-Language Support: iGotify supports multiple languages, including English, German, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch, making it accessible to an international user base.

Read full description

atreoLINK is self-hosting, for the whole family. It's the easiest way to share your home server's apps with the people you trust, and to reach them securely from anywhere. Run atreoAGENT on your home server or homelab, install atreoLINK on every family member's iPhone or iPad, and your self-hosted apps are a tap away. No port forwarding. No DNS setup. No VPN configuration. Just a custom subdomain with automatic HTTPS, a direct WireGuard tunnel, and encrypted push notifications. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Open your self-hosted apps from anywhere, in the built-in private browser • Receive end-to-end encrypted push notifications from your apps and services • Set up your server in minutes. Pair once, then it stays connected automatically • Invite family members and choose which apps each person can see • Manage your servers, devices, and invited users from one place DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES atreoLINK is built for households, not just sysadmins. As the owner, you approve every family member and pick what they can access. Invitations are cryptographically signed by you, so even atreoLINK itself can't add anyone to your household. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your traffic flows directly between your phone and your server over WireGuard. atreoLINK helps the two sides find each other, but it never sees the bytes in between, never holds your passwords, and never has the keys to decrypt your notifications. Push notifications are encrypted on your server before they leave it, delivered as ciphertext, and decrypted only on your device. ACCOUNTS atreoLINK requires an account to sign in. You can create one to accept an invitation and connect your device to a family member's server. Learn more at atreolink.com. WireGuard is a registered trademark of Jason A. Donenfeld.
