Notyfy for Chrome

One of the best aspects of having modern smartphones is that we receive notifications from all our favorite platforms, and we can access them instantly from one place. This “aggregation” of notifications is something that most desktop devices struggle with since we usually rely on web browsers to access the said platforms, and not dedicated apps like in the case of our mobile devices.

Thankfully, someone thought of this particular issue, and that’s how Notyfy for Chrome was born. In short, Notyfy is a very useful extension that aggregates your notifications from all your favorite platforms in one place, namely in Google Chrome’s toolbar.

Currently, it works with popular platforms such as Facebook, Gmail, GitHub, LinkedIn, Medium, Product Hunt, Quora, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and Twitter. Once a new notification appears on any of the supported platforms, the extension adds a small and unobtrusive number badge on its icon. Click the icon, and you’re presented with a comprehensive list of present and past notifications.

One of the best aspects of Notyfy is the fact that it does not require any sort of effort on your behalf. What we mean by this is that the extension does not require any sort of login action. It automatically picks up notifications from the platforms you’re already logged on.

According to the developer, Notyfy does not need your credentials and it doesn’t even read Chrome cookies to get its info. Notyfy checks the platforms in question in the background and the data transfer is kept to an absolute minimum.

Notyfy is a very useful little tool that will surely appeal to users who are looking for a quick and easy way of staying up to date with all their notifications from various platforms, without actually having dozens of tabs open at the same time.
