ntfy – Push Notifications Without Detours

An alert that reaches no one isn't an alert.
We operate ntfy as a standalone, GDPR-compliant delivery path for push notifications – to phone, desktop, or straight into your scripts.

Use cases​

ntfy handles the last mile of alerting in our monitoring stack:

• Push notifications for critical alerts, when Slack or email is too slow
• Status updates from backup jobs, cron jobs & CI/CD pipelines
• Simple notifications for teams without an existing chat integration
• A fast, additional channel alongside Alertmanager

Features we operate & integrate​

• Dedicated topics per system, team, or severity – no shared channel for all alerts
• Access control via credentials or access tokens instead of public topics
• Delivery via app (Android, iOS) or browser, with no third-party account needed
• HTTP API for scripts, cron jobs & webhooks from existing systems
• Prioritization & tags for quickly triaging incoming messages
