Notifications of applications are a feature of any smartphone for most of us feel a kind of love-hate. On the one hand warn us what we want but at the other end can be a complicated ordeal becoming controlling. Yet there are applications that allow us to optimize them, one of them is Notifyr.

Notifyr is an application for iOS and OS X that allows us to view notifications on our Mac iOS Application. is compatible with most iOS applications and notifications from Whatsapp, Instagram or Facebook to iMessage, SMS and even calls, which we will also report on our Mac with a single bubble in the top right.

For communication between our iOS device and our Mac Notifyr uses a bluetooth connection low energy, that in order to receive the notifications we must have the iOS device connected to your Mac via Bluetooth. The application for iOS Notifyr costs $3.99 while the Mac version is free. This, application for Mac is a simple preference pane that only serves to connect the device to mute notifications and applications that do not interest us. The iOS app also only serves to bind the Mac and only have to open when we fire our device, since it works in the background all the time.

As added saying that notifications also work in do not disturb mode, so it is perfect if you want to take the phone away from your workspace and see important notifications only through the screen of your Mac. The only downside is that for able to use the applications need to be running at least Mavericks OS X and have an iPhone 4S or higher as they are devices that have the Bluetooth chip support.
