🚩 Problem Description

Hi, I'm not sure whether it should be a feature request. However, I wasn't able to set up iGotify my way, and there is no discussions tab in this repo.

I have multiple apps in my gotify. Usually each notification source has 2 apps, for example: backup-server-info and backup-server-warns. The first is a target for all notifications, let's say backup complete or backup verification succeded. The second is a target for critical/warning notifications, let's say backup failed or out of space.

I want to obtain iOS notifications only from warn apps, but not from info, so I disabled Show Notifications for them. The problem is info notifications still increment the iOS app counter. I want this counter to be higher than zero only if there are warnings. Kinda similar to whatsapp and other IM -- you don't have counter increments for muted chats.


💡 Proposed Solution

There are several approaches to address the issue:

  1. Just disable the counter for "muted" apps. Seems good and intuitive to me. But maybe other users won't think so.
  2. Make a separate counter setting for the app. IMHO it is overcomplicating things -- if a user disabled notifications they probably don't wanna see any counters from the app (just like in IM).
  3. Others?

🔄 Alternatives Considered

See above.

My typical morning... without actual warnings.


🎯 Use Case

I think this feature would improve the overall UX and would make it closer to IM.
