ntfy - PUT/POST to your phone

Philipp C. Heckel

About this app

Send push notifications to your phone from any Bash or PowerShell script, or from your own app using PUT/POST requests, e.g. via curl on Linux or Invoke-WebRequest.

ntfy is an Android client for https://ntfy.sh, a free and open source HTTP-based pub-sub service. You can subscribe to topics in this app, and then publish messages via a simple HTTP API.

Uses:
* Notify yourself when a long-running process is done
* Ping your phone when a backup has failed
* Alerts when someone logs into your server

Example:

$ curl -d "Your backup is done" ntfy.sh/mytopic

Ratings and reviews

I think you may have a an unrealized audience. I switched to a flip phone a while back and was able to sideload this app. I also set up ntfy in conjunction with Automate on my old smartphone. Now, I can get any notifications on my flip phone by essentially using my smartphone as a relay. Then, I can respond to people whenever I get back to my laptop. Ntfy keeps me aware of important notifications, but doesn't keep me on my phone all day. Love it!

This is, by far, the best app I've found to seamlessly send notifications to my phone from nearly anything, including Home Assistant, Node-RED, random shell scripts, healthchecks.io; anything that can publish to webhooks. It's fully open source; you can even host the server yourself. There are some minor limits with the free tier, but they are *very* reasonable (250 notifications/day), and only apply to the official instance.

Amazing application and easy to use. No annoying configurations or silly API calls. Really helps with being notified on my server activity. 5 Stars!

What’s new

This is largely a maintenance update to ensure the SDK is up-to-date.

Features:
* Markdown is now rendered if "Markdown: yes" was passed
* You can now disable UnifiedPush so ntfy does not act as a UnifiedPush distributor

Bug fixes + maintenance:
* Subscriptions without icons no longer appear to use another subscription's icon
* Bumped all dependencies to the latest versions
