Adobe Wave

When a friend posts a status update or there’s new content on your favorite site, be the first to know.  Adobe® Wave™ software gets the information you care about right to your desktop.  Click on the Adobe Wave badge on a website you want to follow and you’re ready to go.  Best of all, you’re in control: you choose which sites can contact you.  If you’re no longer interested, turning it off is a click away — Adobe Wave does not share your email address with websites.

With Adobe Wave, get all of your notifications through a single application. You don’t have to worry about downloading a separate notification application for each website. To find out more, click on a notification to take you to a browser pointing right where you want to go.  Built with Adobe AIR® technology that has been installed over 200 million times, Adobe Wave lets you see all your most recent alerts at a glance.

Discover which of your favorite sites are using Adobe Wave.  Click “ADD” in the bottom left corner of Adobe Wave to browse the Adobe Wave Gallery.  Here, you can add feeds with a single click.

Product Details


FAQ

What is Adobe Wave?
Adobe Wave is an Adobe AIR application that lets you get notifications from the websites you care about. It displays a desktop alert when there is new content, a new social interaction, or another notification that the website would like to let you know about.
How do I get it/try it?
You can install Adobe Wave by clicking on the badge above.
Do I have to install something for each website I’m interested in?
No. When you install Adobe Wave once, you can add different website feeds directly into Adobe Wave without having to install separate applications.
How do I add new website feeds?
You can add feeds by clicking on the Adobe Wave badge on your favorite websites or by clicking “ADD” within Adobe Wave to browse the gallery of available feeds.
When will it be available as a final product?
At this point Adobe Wave is a beta project and we are not announcing final availability timeframes.

System Requirements

Since Adobe Wave is a desktop application that runs on Adobe AIR, the same system requirements as Adobe AIR apply.
