Push notifications, made incredibly simple.
ntfy lets you send push notifications to your phone or desktop from anywhere. Whether it's an alert that a backup finished, a notification when someone logs into your systems, or a ping when your laundry is done — ntfy makes it easy to stay informed. No account signup needed, no app store shenanigans. Just pick a topic, subscribe, and start getting notified.
What makes NTFY worth launching.
Pick a name for your notification channel and start using it immediately — no signup, no permission needed.
Set alerts as low, default, high, or urgent so you know at a glance whether something needs immediate attention.
Add fun emojis to your notifications and include clickable buttons to take action directly from the alert.
Attach photos, videos, or documents to your notifications — perfect for sharing a screenshot or a camera snapshot.
Receive notifications on your phone (Android & iOS), desktop browser, or the web app — all at the same time.
ntfy integrates with Home Assistant, GitHub, monitoring tools, and hundreds of other apps and services.
If you fit one of these, NTFY is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where NTFY makes a real difference.
Get a push notification when your nightly backup completes — or an urgent alert if something went wrong.
Receive an instant alert on your phone whenever someone signs into your computer or devices.
Get pinged when your smart doorbell rings, motion is detected in the yard, or your laundry cycle ends.
Walk away from a big file transfer or data processing job and get notified right when it finishes.
ntfy (pronounced "notify") is the simplest way to send push notifications to your phone or desktop. It works like a private messaging channel just for you: you create a topic, subscribe to it on your phone or computer, and then any message you send to that topic shows up instantly as a notification. You can send messages from scripts, apps, or tools you already use — no accounts, no passwords, no app store fees. ntfy supports rich features like priority levels (for urgent vs. casual alerts), emoji tags, action buttons you can tap right from the notification, and even image and file attachments. It works great with popular tools like Home Assistant, GitHub, and monitoring services, making it the behind-the-scenes hero for anyone who wants to know what's happening without constantly refreshing a screen.
ntfy is the glue that connects anything to your phone. Instead of constantly checking dashboards or waiting for emails that get buried, you get instant push notifications about the things that matter. It works with nearly any app or service — from Home Assistant and GitHub to simple scripts you write yourself. People love ntfy because it's dead simple: there's no app to register for, no API key to manage, and no monthly subscription to send alerts. It's open source, which means it's built by a community that cares about doing notifications right.
