    ntfy (pronounced "notify") is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. With ntfy, you can send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer, without having to sign up or pay any fees. If you'd like to run your own instance of the service, you can easily do so since ntfy is open source.

    You can access the free version of ntfy at ntfy.sh. There is also an open-source Android app available on Google Play or F-Droid, as well as an open source iOS app available on the App Store.

    I now offer paid plans for ntfy.sh if you don't want to self-host, or you want to support the development of ntfy (→ Purchase via web app). You can buy a plan for as low as $5/month. You can also donate via GitHub Sponsors, and Liberapay. I would be very humbled by your sponsorship. ❤️
