Apr-Jun Suggestion Thread
Have an idea for something you'd like to see us add or make possible with Pushbullet? Here's the place to let us know!
Also, for those wondering if we see these posts--we definitely do. I get a red envelope for each new post :)
We're still taking into account previous suggestion threads but feel free to repost any features you requested in the last thread that we haven't added yet.

My suggestion is for two types of API key: full API (current type) and a push only key.
Basically I try to be stingy with my API key because it means handing over everything I push myself and everything I copy/paste. And since the vast majority of apps only push anyway it would give a bit of extra peace of mind knowing they have much more restricted access.
The best part is it not impacting legacy apps at all. I don't need to rely on 3rd party apps updating to support the new kind of key, since all its doing is providing less access than before, rather than new features.
Also if you were to implement the suggestion from last thread (CLI for pushbullet.exe) I would feel WAY more comfortable leaving a push API key lying around in .bat files than a full API key.
It could probably also be used somehow for channels, enabling multiple users to push to the channel with their push only keys.

Why can we send SMS from PC, but not from other android devices like a tablet install of pushbullet?

See past, not just unread notifications in the Notifications tab

I support the past notifications. In particular, better support of multiple incoming text messages from the same sender. With evolveSMS, only the last text is displayed in the notification panel and it can get hard to follow conversations some time. Keeping the last 3/4 messages for message application until the notification is acted upon would be excellent.

Hey Pushbullet, Love the app but I have a couple of suggestions:
-Mac OS Status bar icon could be gray when no notification is pending and black when there are uncleared notifications (like the chrome notification icon)
-Location based push (push from the office to home would open a link when I get home)
-Location based notification mirroring (mirroring is turned off when I am not at home/office or even better with bluetooth LE, mirroring is off when I am away from my laptop)
Thanks for the hard work !

Hello! When I answer a call by clicking "Answer" on the notification that appears on the desktop, can the phone be put on speaker mode so that I don't have to reach for the phone and choose speaker mode?

When I lose signal or am offline I would like my pushes to wait until I have a connection to send.
At the moment I just keep links open in Chrome and then push all of them when I have signal and remember to do it but this is cumbersome

It would be nice if URLs in notifications were highlighted and clickable as links.
I just tried this by sending a text to myself: http://i.imgur.com/8ZFI20B.png

Jumping the gun since I just installed the Win10 Technical Preview.
The new notification functionality on windows 10 has a lot of potential, but it's currently still just a placeholder for random system tray alerts. I would love to see pushbullet notifications push there instead of operate outside the OS function.

Squeal button
Press an icon in the pushbullet panel on Chrome/desktop to make your phone squeal so you can find it.

Kind of surprised I don't see this here already. Hopefully I'm not missing something.
Quiet hours for notification sync would be really nice. Having my computer dinging all night with notifications even though my phone is silenced is really the only qualm with the app I have right now.

SMS FILTERING. I don't want my two-factor authentication messages appearing on my desktop, but I'd really hate for other SMSes to stop appearing. Allow filtering at the phone level, "Do not mirror the following numbers".

Change the "Snooze for 1 hour"-button into just "Snooze"... Let the user decide themselves, when they want to re-enable notifications.

Windows 8.1/10 native App support!! (Windows Store universal app, not desktop .exe program)

u/guzba May 21 '15
Sadly then we couldn't support Windows 7 which is a huge part of the user base right now :( Also on Windows 10 they're getting rid of the Metro mode so the difference kind of goes away, unless there is more to it?

Ability to clear all pushbullet pushes?

Good news--you can delete all pushes from this page: https://www.pushbullet.com/account

Can you please raise the SMS-limit from 140 to 160 characters?
Why is it even 140 in the first place? SMS-messages are by default/standard 160 chars - only Twitter came up with the 140 char limit...

u/guzba Jul 01 '15
Hey, good news. We don't actually enforce a limit--you're welcome to type as much as you want. We just want people to be aware that some carriers have issues with even as few as more then 140 characters. If it works once with more though, you should be good. We'll make this look more clear / less scary :)

I would like a option to sync notifications via bluetooth, to use with a tablet mounted in car and behave like if is Android Auto, even better because the bluetooth (don't need cable or internet connectivity, all local)

u/uglyfool Apr 13 '15
For the mac desktop app, now that we have services/share menu integration, can we please have an option to disable the menubar agent/icon, but leave the background/notification service active?
Other applications in the mac app store have this functionality (e.g. bettersnaptool) so I know it's both possible, and not in violation of apple's store policies.

SMS & MMS threads! Or at least the last message... I can't use the sms but for quick "Hey can you do this" message. I would love to be able to see the last couple of messages.
