Features of Gotify

Installation Guide

Getting started with Gotify is easy! You have a few options for obtaining the app:

Disabling Battery Optimization

Android has a built-in battery optimization feature that can hinder Gotify’s ability to send notifications, as it might kill the app to save battery. To ensure smooth operation, follow these steps:

  • Open your Settings.

  • Find Gotify and disable battery optimization.

  • Select Gotify.
  • Click on Notifications.
  • Look for Gotify foreground notification and toggle the Minimize option.
  • Adjust Behavior or Importance based on your preference and restart Gotify.

Message Priorities in Gotify

Gotify uses a priority system for notifications, which you can customize based on your needs. Here’s a brief overview:

  • 0: Icon only in the notification bar
  • 1 – 3: Icon + Sound
  • 4 – 7: Icon + Sound + Vibration
  • 8 – 10: High-priority with full notifications

Building Gotify
