Ntfy

Ntfy (pronounced notify) is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. It allows you to send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer, and/or using a REST API. With Ntfy you can set up scripts or commands to notify you when they're done running or when they output certain results. This can be particularly useful for long-running tasks or for monitoring purposes.

Key features of Ntfy:

  • Simplicity: Send notifications with a simple command like ntfy send "Task completed".
  • Customization: You can customize notifications with titles, different urgency levels, or tags.
  • Multiple Platforms: ntfy supports various platforms including Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, and any browser.
  • Integrations: It can be integrated into shell scripts, web applications, or any system that can execute a shell command.
  • Subscription to Topics: You can subscribe to topics and receive notifications published to these topics.
  • Delay Notifications: You can delay notifications, allowing you to send a notification at a later time.
  • Endpoints: You can send notifications to specific endpoints, such as Telegram, Slack, or your own custom server.
  • Shell Integration: You can configure your shell to send a notification when a long-running command completes.
  • Encryption: It supports end-to-end encryption for message content, ensuring that your notifications are private.

Action:

Send a message: Sends a message to a specified topic.
