Notifications are currently being implemented via the package:

Currently working on ensuring they work for all operating systems, Windows, Linux, MacOSX. It's almost done for the most part, just need to integrate it into Electron for shipment.

I'll look at adding an indicator after the major stuff is done.

@Aetherinox Are notifications not working currently? And do I need to enable webpush in my NTFY config? Thanks
Love the app btw, looking forward to having all the features you mentionned. Only thing I can get working so far is the --hidden flag. Keybinds and close button to app tray are not working for me

@FaNt4zMa Sorry, I missed this.

There were a few bugs in the app, but I have recently updated it and everything is working as normal.

The keybinds / hotkeys were one of the things broken.

I also just spent two full days updating the dependencies, and my toasted-notifier package which ntfy-desktop relies on, and since a few bugs were fixed, I can now build binaries / exe in the releases section so people no longer have to build it themselves.

If you guys still use this app; I've added a badge counter to the taskbar.

It's part of a major re-write of the script.

This feature request was the last missing piece of the puzzle before transitioning over to ntfy. I will check it out as soon as v.2.2.0 is released!

Sure thing. I'll definitely be improving on it. But as the app sits in the task bar, you'll get a count each time you get a new message. Once you interact with the interface, the pending notification count will clear. I had to get the initial functionality in place so that I could make the app see what you see, and be able to tell what buttons you're clicking on when you view messages.

There's additional settings I want to add to the behavior so that the user can customize it a bit more, but mainly v2.2.0 was about re-writing the entire app since it's a little more used now.

It added features, but it also focused on optimizations, security, etc. Pretty much tossed about 70% of the code out and re-did it all.

I believe that takes care of both your requests, pop-ups and the indicator for unread.

If you want additional stuff, throw me a ticket.

There's also a button in Ntfy-desktop if you click on the Help button, it's labeled "Send Test Notification".
