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. ❤️

Getting started | Android/iOS | API | Install / Self-hosting | Building

There are a few ways to get in touch with me and/or the rest of the community. Feel free to use any of these methods. Whatever works best for you:

• Discord server - direct chat with the community
• Matrix room #ntfy (+ Matrix space) - same chat, bridged from Discord
• GitHub issues - questions, features, bugs

For announcements of new releases and cutting-edge beta versions, please subscribe to the ntfy.sh/announcements topic. If you'd like to test the iOS app, join TestFlight. For Android betas, join Discord/Matrix (I'll eventually make a testing channel in Google Play).

If you'd like to support the ntfy maintainers, please consider donating to GitHub Sponsors or and Liberapay. We would be humbled if you helped carry the server and developer account costs. Even small donations are very much appreciated.

A big fat Thank You to the individuals who have sponsored ntfy in the past, or are still sponsoring ntfy:

I welcome any contributions. Just create a PR or an issue. For larger features/ideas, please reach out on Discord/Matrix first to see if I'd accept them. To contribute code, check out the build instructions for the server and the Android app. Or, if you'd like to help translate 🇩🇪 🇺🇸 🇧🇬, you can start immediately in Hosted Weblate.
