Gotify Indicator is a simple tool in the system tray area to send and receive messages via your own Gotify server.
Gotify is a server that can send and receive messages. It works as a push notifications server.
Gotify-Indicator is an indicator for Gotify in the Linux Desktop. With it you can send and receive messages directly from your computer. So you can send messages to other devices that are connected to the same server.

The developer maintains the software packages in the PPA repository for Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 19.10, and Ubuntu 20.04.

For Linux Desktop, Gotify-indicator is the best tool to send and received messages. I am using it since I installed Linux in my PC. The best part is, it provides high security to data with Linux.
I loaded ubuntu 19.10 on a 500gb drive. I was fast but in 5 hours of working on a project it filled the root drive and crashed. I went back to Ubuntu 18.04.
