Send notifications to your phone from any script or app using PUT/POST requests

Features & Capabilities

ntfy is an Android client for the open-source ntfy.sh HTTP-based pub-sub service, enabling you to send push notifications directly to your phone from any Bash or PowerShell script or app. Simply publish messages using PUT/POST requests — for example, using curl on Linux or Invoke-WebRequest on Windows. Use it to notify yourself when long-running processes finish, alert you to backup results, or inform you of important server events.

With ntfy, subscribing to topics is straightforward, and publishing messages is easy and flexible through its simple HTTP API. This makes it an excellent tool for developers, sysadmins, or anyone looking to automate notifications from scripts or custom applications.

User Reviews

ntfy is praised for simplicity, reliability, and hosting flexibility (free tier, paid plan, self-hosting) with open-source back-end and cross-platform web/mobile clients. Users value its suitability for self-hosted notification workflows and automation. Common drawbacks involve intrusive notifications: a persistent listening notification, spammy alert sounds and hard-coded limits that can miss critical alerts, limited sound customization, offline vibration, and CLI-only user management.

Pros

Simple, reliable, easy to install and use
Flexible hosting: free tier, paid plan, self-hosting; open-source backend with many configuration options
Cross-platform web and mobile clients; strong fit for automated notifications
No ads; good value
Powerful for self-hosted notifications (Pub/Sub style) and dev workflows

Cons

Persistent 'Listening for incoming notifications' notification cannot be removed
Notification sounds can be spammy and hard to disable; poor handling of alert limits
Cannot customize notification sounds (global or per-subscription)
Offline mode vibrations cannot be disabled/are undesirable
CLI-only user management (GUI lacking)

Recent reviews

Simple, fast, and free. I set up and configured my notification server in half an hour. Appreciated the jokes in the documentation. App suggestions - more modern implementation of Material You design.
