Pullover

The unofficial multi-platform Pushover desktop client.

Why was this App created?

I discovered Pushover in mid November 2014 and was really excited. The only thing missing was a decent desktop client. At the time there was only a rudimentary Notification Center integration for Mac. But I was missing the following features:

Show the icon of the notifying app (it always showed the pushover icon)
Make the notification clickable to open URLs attached to notifications
Support for Windows or Linux

Installation / Download

Goto Pushover.net and get a desktop license (there is a trial period if you want to try it out first). Without this license Pullover will not work.

Linux x32 (v0.3.2): Pullover_0.3.2_linux32.zip
Windows x32 (v0.3.2): Pullover_0.3.2_Installer.exe
Mac OS 10.8+ x64 (v0.3.2): Pullover_0.3.2.dmg

Installation on Linux: Please refer to this wiki article wiki/Installing-on-Linux

Please note: If the app doesn't work for you, don't hesitate to open an issue here. I usually test Pullover on Mac and Windows before publishing a new version, however if I miss something just contact me. Please add the log file (see section Bugs bellow).

Build your own

You can create builds for all platforms with Mac OS, take a look at CROSSPLATFORM.md to find out about necessary dependencies.

Install build dependencies: npm install
Install dependencies of Pullover: cd src && npm install
Rename config/buildConf.json.sample to config/buildConf.json
Open config/buildConf.json and adapt platforms: to your preference
Return to root dir and build binaries with: ./builder build
If the build process was successful, you can find the binaries in bin/pullover/[platform]
If you want to package them (.zip/.dmg/.exe), execute ./builder createDist
The distributables will be placed in bin/deploy

Development

There is no need to always build packaged binaries if you want to dive into the source of Pullover and try out some changes. Instead install the node dependencies in the root folder and in source with npm install and run the builder script. Make sure to copy config/buildConf.json.sample to config/buildConf.json first

cp `config/buildConf.json.sample` `config/buildConf.json`
npm install
cd src && npm install
cd ..
./builder run

Bugs

If you encounter a bug or Pullover crashes, please go to the following directory and send me the pullover.1.log file by opening an issue:

OS X - '/Users/user/Library/Application Support/pullover'
Windows 8 - 'C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Pullover'
Windows XP - 'C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Pullover'
Linux - '/var/local/Pullover'

Contributing

If you miss a feature or fixed a bug, don't hesitate to create a pull-request. I open-sourced this App with the hope that others contribute to it. Especially for Windows and Linux since I rarely use those systems.

Planned features

I am currently rewriting Pullover and a list of planned features is in the wiki. If you have any feature wishes not listed there then open an issue and I will take a look at it.
