Our 1.1 is exclusively focused on Steam Frame support. We've put a ton of effort into ensuring NotiVR works well with Valve's new shiny hardware, we're please to report that NotiVR is now Steam Frame Standalone Verified!
Cool, what does that mean?
It means that as soon as the Steam Frame starts shipping you can just install NotiVR on your headset, pair your phone, and have full notification syncing from both Android and iOS devices without needing a connected PC!
We have full feature parity across the PC and Frame versions. Just like on the PC version your Android or iOS device will connect directly to your headset and mirror your phone notifications into VR.
Stay in sync
NotiVR has supported Steam Cloud for managing your settings since the early versions, and with 1.0 we added Steam Workshop support via NotiVR Packs. Meaning all of your customisations and subscribed packs will stay in sync between your Frame and your PC.
Future updates
In addition to getting the actual NotiVR app running on the Frame, we're updating the NotiVR mobile apps to allow for better handling of connecting to multiple devices (more details to come soon)
Since Steam Frame runs on Linux we had to port the app to Linux. While our focus has been on the Steam Frame there has been some work on the x86 version too. This is shipping today alongside the arm build in an experimental capacity for our Linux PCVR users.
