+# GNOME Notification Forwarder
+
+Forward all GNOME desktop notifications to Bark or Gotify.
+
+## Features
+
+- Monitors all GNOME desktop notifications in real-time
+- Forwards notifications to Bark API or Gotify automatically
+- Support for multiple notification services (Bark, Gotify, or both)
+- Includes application name in forwarded messages
+- Runs as a systemd service for automatic startup
+- Comprehensive logging
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Linux with GNOME desktop environment
+- Python 3.6+
+- D-Bus (pre-installed on most GNOME systems)
+
+## Installation
+
+### 1. Install Python dependencies
+
+```bash
+# Install system dependencies
+sudo pacman -S python-dbus python-gobject python-requests
+
+# OR using pip (if not using Arch)
+pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### 2. Make the script executable
+
+```bash
+chmod +x notify_forwarder.py
+```
+
+### 3. Test the script
+
+```bash
+./notify_forwarder.py
+```
+
+Then send a test notification:
+```bash
+notify-send "Test Title" "Test message body"
+```
+
+You should see the notification forwarded to your Bark app and logged in the terminal.
+
+## Running as a Service
+
+### Set up systemd user service
+
+1. Create the systemd user directory if it doesn't exist:
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
+```
+
+2. Copy the service file:
+```bash
+cp notify-forwarder.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
+```
+
+3. Reload systemd:
+```bash
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+```
+
+4. Enable and start the service:
+```bash
+systemctl --user enable notify-forwarder.service
+systemctl --user start notify-forwarder.service
+```
+
+5. Check the service status:
+```bash
+systemctl --user status notify-forwarder.service
+```
+
+6. View logs:
+```bash
+journalctl --user -u notify-forwarder.service -f
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration is done via environment variables in your `~/.zshrc` file.
+
+### Choose Notification Service
+
+Set the `NOTIFICATION_SERVICE` variable to control which service(s) to use:
+
+```bash
+# Options: bark, gotify, or both (default: bark)
+export NOTIFICATION_SERVICE="bark"
+```
+
+### Configure Bark
+
+If using Bark (default), add the following to your `~/.zshrc`:
+
+```bash
+export BARK_URL="https://api.day.app/YOUR_BARK_KEY"
+```
+
+### Configure Gotify
+
+If using Gotify, add the following to your `~/.zshrc`:
+
+```bash
+export GOTIFY_URL="https://gotify.example.com"
+export GOTIFY_TOKEN="your_gotify_app_token"
+```
+
+### Use Both Services
+
+To forward notifications to both Bark and Gotify simultaneously:
+
+```bash
+export NOTIFICATION_SERVICE="both"
+export BARK_URL="https://api.day.app/YOUR_BARK_KEY"
+export GOTIFY_URL="https://gotify.example.com"
+export GOTIFY_TOKEN="your_gotify_app_token"
+```
+
+### Apply Configuration
+
+After editing `~/.zshrc`, reload it:
+
+```bash
+source ~/.zshrc
+```
+
+Then restart the service if it's already running:
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user restart notify-forwarder.service
+```
+
+## Stopping the Service
+
+```bash
+# Stop the service
+systemctl --user stop notify-forwarder.service
+
+# Disable auto-start
+systemctl --user disable notify-forwarder.service
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No notifications being forwarded
+
+1. Check if the service is running:
+```bash
+systemctl --user status notify-forwarder.service
+```
+
+2. Check the logs:
+```bash
+journalctl --user -u notify-forwarder.service -n 50
+```
+
+3. Test your notification service manually:
+
+For Bark:
+```bash
+curl "https://api.day.app/YOUR_BARK_KEY/Test/Message"
+```
+
+For Gotify:
+```bash
+curl -X POST "https://gotify.example.com/message?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"title":"Test","message":"Test message","priority":5}'
+```
+
+### Permission issues
+
+Make sure the script has execute permissions:
+```bash
+chmod +x notify_forwarder.py
+```
+
+### D-Bus connection issues
+
+Ensure you're running the service as a user service (not system service), as it needs access to your user's D-Bus session.
+
+## Uninstallation
+
+```bash
+# Stop and disable the service
+systemctl --user stop notify-forwarder.service
+systemctl --user disable notify-forwarder.service
+
+# Remove the service file
+rm ~/.config/systemd/user/notify-forwarder.service
+
+# Reload systemd
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+
+# Remove the project directory
+rm -rf /home/lostecho/Documents/notify-forwarder
+```
