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.
