ntfy
Push notifications made easy
ntfy is an open-source, HTTP-based pub-sub notification service that lets scripts and applications send push notifications to phones or desktops. Publishing messages is done via PUT or POST requests, and topics are created on the fly by subscribing or publishing to them. It can be self-hosted or used through a hosted service.
Notifications support priorities that map to sounds and vibration patterns, action buttons, tags, emojis, and attachments for sending images, videos, and other files. A web app allows subscribing to topics for desktop notifications. Publishing works through a REST API, with clients available for curl, the ntfy CLI, JavaScript, Go, PHP, and Python, and it integrates with tools such as GitHub Actions, healthchecks.io, and changedetection.io.
ntfy is aimed at developers, sysadmins, and automation users who need notifications from scripts or services. It can be used without sign-up, self-hosted, or accessed via paid plans that vary by daily message limits, reserved topics, phone calls, daily emails, attachment size, and support options.
