Features

Desktop Notifications

When you subscribe to a topic, you'll receive desktop notifications whenever a message is published. The notifications appear just like any other system notification.

Message History

The web app keeps a history of received messages. You can scroll through past messages and click on them to see full details including:

  • Title and message content
  • Timestamp
  • Priority level
  • Tags and emojis
  • Attachments
  • Action buttons

Multiple Topics

You can subscribe to multiple topics at once. Each topic appears in the sidebar, and you can switch between them to view their message history.

Real-time Updates

Messages appear instantly in the web app as they're published. No need to refresh the page.

Browser Support

The web app works in all modern browsers:

  • Chrome/Chromium
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Edge

Note: Some browsers may require HTTPS for notification permissions. NotifyHero uses HTTPS by default.

Notification Permissions

To receive desktop notifications, you need to grant notification permission:

  1. Chrome: Click the lock icon in the address bar → Site settings → Notifications → Allow
  2. Firefox: Click the lock icon → Permissions → Receive Notifications → Allow
  3. Safari: Safari menu → Settings → Websites → Notifications → Allow

Tips

  • Keep the tab open - Notifications work best when the web app tab is open (background tabs may have limited functionality)
  • Use the PWA - For a better experience, consider installing the PWA which works like a native app
  • Bookmark topics - You can bookmark specific topic URLs like https://app.notifyhero.com/mytopic for quick access
