IrssiNotifier

About this app

UPDATE 17.9.2024: IrssiNotifier is currently broken and you don't get notifications! This is because of Firebase API changes, and to fix the app basically the whole server needs to be rewritten. This might take some time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

--

Get instant notifications from IRC hilights and private messages straight from your Irssi IRC client to your Android device!

IrssiNotifier uses Google Cloud Messaging (Android push mechanism), so notifications consume very little battery and are almost real time.

Irssi script set up is straightforward and instructions are available at the app's web page at https://irssinotifier.appspot.com.

All messages are end-to-end encrypted with encryption key specified by you, so your privacy will be protected.

If you find IrssiNotifier useful, please consider buying IrssiNotifier+. IrssiNotifier+ is a supporter version that has all the same features than the free version, plus pull mechanism, which allows you to receive IRC hilights even if you're not online all the time. Putting this feature into paid version helps cut down server costs. Thank you for your support!

Check https://irssinotifier.appspot.com for more information. Unofficial scripts for WeeChat and Python are also available. Project is open source and hosted on GitHub.

Ratings and reviews

UPDATE: I have been using this successfully for 4 years but it has suddenly stopped working yesterday. Tried reinstalling app on my phone, checked settings in irssi and did irssi restart. User profile on their site says it should be working but no messages coming though on the app feed any more 😢 Not sure if this is related to the old Google FCM API being deprecated 🤔

Sept 2024 Update: I have used this app for a really long time and like one other person said, it stopped working around the beginning of September. It did seem to intermittently work last week. However, I have not been able to get it working today.

Doesn't seem to work - loaded the script but when I tried to configure the channels in the app, it was blank
