In reply to JoostF1. Glad the app is serving you well. Sorry to say, I don't have any tips on the email subject - have never wanted to turn on push for that.

Hi, nice article to read!
At first I didn't see the use in this app, but after a while, it's the greatest thing on my mac! Everybody is jalous about my Push notifications and such a smart application 😉
The only problem I have with redirections is the Mail. When I set Mail to redirect to the Mail App, it opens a screen where you can type a new e-mail. Not really my inbox though?

In reply to sudopeople. Good point - that's mentioned on their App Store page and I overlooked it, though it also states that the Mac or Windows apps are required.

FTA: "*** Please Note: Prowl is a Growl client – so it pulls its alerts from Growl – and requires Growl 1.1+ on the Mac or Growl for Windows or Snarl on a Windows machine." You don't actually. You can write scripts in almost any language that will interface with the Prowl API. Also Prowl, can be pretty useful as a trans-computer clipboard via the prowl website. You can paste a message into the "Add Notification" page and send it to your phone instantly. https://prowl.weks.net/add_notification.php Prowl API: http://prowl.weks.net/api.php

In reply to Spencer Transier. You assume right. It's called mQuickDo and I like it a lot, though it's a bit flaky lately - have written about it here: http://tinyurl.com/m3np2o

I assume, looking at the first picture, that you have an app that can open apps straight from the lockscreen. What app is that?

In reply to Critter. Yup, I have the same result, as I mentioned - but the devs already have a new version which fixes the issue submitted to Apple. So hopefully not too long before we see that fix.

The app crashes every time I slide the option to enable 'quiet hours' 🙁
