A 17-year-old developer Joost van Dijk from the Netherlands has created a new iOS app called 'Notifyr', which allows users to receive iOS notifications on their Mac computers.

The new Notifyr app - which has been launched recently - essentially gives the users the ability to route all their iOS notifications to their Macs. In doing so, users do not miss out on the texts, calls, and other app-related notifications which they receive while their handset is being charged.

For relaying iOS notifications to a Mac, the new Notifyr app uses Bluetooth Low Energy and it hardly drains the battery.

However, to enable users to receive iOS notifications on the Mac computers, the Notifyr app an iPhone 4S handset or a newer iPhone model as well as a compatible Mac system. The Mac computers support by the app include MacBook Air 2011+, MacBook Pro 2012+, iMac 2012+, Mac Mini 2011+, and the latest Mac Pro.

With regard to the benefits of the Notifyr app, the release notes of the app read thus: "Once paired, you'll never need to open the app on your phone again. When the connection gets lost, Notifyr will automatically reconnect to your phone once it becomes available again."
