NTFY

A self-hosted notification server (like pushover).

• has mobile apps for ios and android
• interesting conceptually (simple pub-sub)
• very easy to use (from curl to php)
• notifications arrive promptly, within seconds (1 - 10) (not as instant as e.g. pushover)
• sometimes apps need to be restarted to show notifications (sometimes a notification shows up in notification center, but not in the app)
• no sync between clients - i.e. the same notification must be marked as read or dismissed in all subscribers (in pushover, when I read one on my phone - it shows as read on laptop)

• Homepage
• Github repo
• Docs
