Pulsetray is an API-driven notification service that allows you to send custom push alerts to your devices using simple a simple POST request.

Unlike standard push notification apps that just ping your phone and disappear, Pulsetray features a persistent, searchable, and filterable notification tray. It acts as a centralized log for all your alerts, making it an ideal companion for Home Assistant, CI/CD pipelines, custom scripts, and server monitoring.

Key Features:
• Persistent Notification Tray: Keep a searchable history of your alerts. Filter by read/unread, date, or custom tags.
• API-Driven & Stateless: No complex authentication flows. Generate an API key in the app, add it as a Bearer token, and send a POST request.
• Rich Media Support: Attach images, GIFs, and videos directly to your notifications via multipart uploads or base64.
• Granular Targeting: Send alerts to your entire account, group devices into specific User Profiles, or target individual device IDs.
• Sources & Categories: Tag your notifications with custom metadata (e.g., Source: "Home Assistant", Category: "Security") to keep your history organized.
• Device Onboarding: Invite family members, coworkers, or employees to receive alerts on their own devices without giving them admin access to your account.

Common Use Cases:
• Home Automation: Integrate with Home Assistant to track smart home events, complete with camera snapshots.
• Server Monitoring: Trigger alerts via cURL or Python when a database backup completes, a cron job fails, or CPU usage spikes.
• Developer Workflows: Add a simple webhook to GitHub Actions, Node.js, Go, or PHP scripts to notify you when a deployment succeeds or fails.

Getting Started:
Pulsetray includes a fully functional Free plan so you can start sending notifications right now. Download the app, create your account, and generate an API key in the settings. From there, you can immediately send your first notification from any environment that supports HTTP requests. Visit our official documentation for copy-paste code snippets and integration guides.
