Scroll down a bit on https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/CoreBl... for a rather interesting indication that Apple really -are- making an iWatch...
Pebble and Metawatch have been doing this for a while.
Yeah, but there's a particular flowchart with a watch that doesn't look like a Pebble. Not that it's a dead giveaway, but it is definitely Apple being a little more future-documenting than in the past.
This one?

If so I think you're reading into it too much. It looks like a generic watch, the way watches have looked ever since watches came on wristbands. It just seems like generic clip art where it's clear to the reader "that's an iPhone, and this is a wrist device."

Pushbullet https://www.pushbullet.com/ does this for Chrome/Android.
Odd about the Bluetooth Low Energy and having to be "in range", surely the device has to be powered up enough to be communicating over TCP/IP to get notifications that are not calls/SMS anyway and the real value of instant mirroring of notifications comes when your too far away to hear phone warns you on your PC of an incoming call

Joost van Dijk (https://twitter.com/jwvd/), the guy who created this, is only 17. Looks slick! Any feedback on it yet?
Seems to work well. I tried this a few months back but had some issues with undocumented stuff. Really cool to see someone so young get it working.
I think the age of 17 is impressive, but now not as impressive as a few years ago because more and more young people are able to do the same at such an young age.
But a young man that can achieve such an accomplishment should always be admired because he really did something wonderful!
Every time I read such a news I wish I could be younger again.... sigh..... T_T

I'm wondering why this comment has been down vote, what's wrong with this comment?
I am a newcomer to hn, and I really can't get the point... please anyone tell me?

Just so that no one else makes the same mistake I did, you also need an iPhone4S or newer for this to work.
It would be nice if on the site there was a mention about phone compatibility along with computer compatibility, since if you just check the site and then download the iPhone app from the search results page in the App Store without clicking through to the app description, you don't see the compatibility warning.
It's my own dumb fault, but it wouldn't hurt if it was a little more obvious.

Not exactly the same purpose, but there's an open-source app for Android called MAXS[1] which communicates via XMPP, so you can get SMS and incoming call notifications, send SMSs etc. on your computer via messaging app.

The page indicates that it works on Macbook airs from 2011 and newer. However I own a 2012 version and it will not work, because it actually doesn't have Bluetooth 4.0. Which is a bummer, because I already had one app that use 4.0 before that I couldn't use on it.
If you could get the notifications sent to a non-Mac computer, I would throw money at you! :)
It's possible to relay the notification to any receiver via BT4.0 LE
Ok, I guess I didn't read closely enough - I need something that could relay notifications over the internet to a remote computer/browser, which in my case is a Windows PC so the iMessage desktop application doesn't help...
I've been waiting for this app for a very long time, delighted to spend £2.49 to test it out. Impressed to read here that develop is only 17; well done!
We built Chime for Chrome (http://chimeapp.com) with a similar problem in mind. I like Notifyr that it prompts you with mirrored notifications from your phone. Chime is a browser extension to give more actionable notifications on your desktop.
Keep working hard and let me know if you need anything :)!

My friend and I have been working on something similar for a while (for Android + Windows): http://triggrapp.com
Error whilst connecting. Emailed him hoping for a response.
I am having trouble connecting too. When the Bluetooth on my MacPro is switched on, I am unable to toggle the "on" button in Notifyr. It just switches to "off" automatically.
I have mailed the developer too!

Haven't had any luck connecting either. It seems like I can only connect to the iPhone if I have Personal Hotspot turned on. Even when turning it on, Notifyr still doesn't find the device.
Make sure your Mac supports Bluetooth 4.0 before you drop $4 on the iOS app!
looking forward to using this when I buy a new MBP. I always miss a bunch of calls while I'm working on the computer.
The things is I need to see my windows phone and android notifications on my mac.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think this can easily be copied with existing applications and/or some customization. Opensource Android application : https://code.google.com/p/notify-me/
App for displaying notifications http://growl.info/ (you have ports for Windows, Android, ...) (GNTP Protocol)
PS. http://www.notifymyandroid.com/ has been a popular app for a long time on Android :), it also includes Zapier integration (which can be convenient)

You are wrong. This is reading the iOS notification center service and sending the messages to a specific receiver on the Mac in the same way a Pebble communicates with an iPhone.
Growl is a Mac framework that apps can interface with to show notifications, but was largely replaced by Notification Center. Growl added a bridge feature for the MAS version, but is pretty largely unnecessary now.
This app isn't part of the Android ecosystem, so it's not worth comparing or relating it to anything on Android. They've had this capability for a long time thanks to intents and listeners.
