G+ Notifier

G+ Notifier is a Windows software program specialized in displaying notifications from your Google+ account directly on your desktop, so you do not need to open your browser.

Initial settings

The application gives you the possibility to set up several options at the end of the installation process.
You can make the utility automatically install new updates and define the icon behavior so when you click on the program’s icon from the system tray area you can access the panel with notifications or launch Google+ in your default web browser.
In addition, G+ Notifier is able to automatically look for updates at a custom time interval (30 seconds, 1 minute, 10 or 30 minutes). In order to complete the setup process, you are required to provide the authentication parameters of your Google+ account.

System tray running mode

You can find G+ Notifier sitting quietly in the system tray. You can access the program’s features by performing a right-click on its icon. You cannot consult a help manual but the configuration settings are easy to work with, so you are not going to spend a lot of time.

Notifications

G+ Notifier is able to show the number of unread messages in the notification icon and reveal popup notifications upon new messages. You can check out various types of messages in the notification panel which are related to shared posts, comments to your posts, and Google+ friend circles.

Bottom line

All things considered, G+ Notifier delivers a simplistic approach for helping you read and stay up-to-date with Google+ notifications from the comfort of your desktop. The intuitive feature pack makes it suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
