I'm the maintainer of ntfy. Happy to answer questions. Sorry that I'm late to the party :-)


Thank you for ntfy. I self host it and love it.


The problem with ntfy for me is that I get notifications on my mobile through the ntfy app. On desktop, in the browser (Safari on Mac), I only get notification pop-ups when the website is open.

The worst part is that I don’t even see the notifications on the website that I received on my mobile while the website wasn’t open.


Go to ntfy.sh/settings and enable background notifications. Or do it like I do it an pin the tab and just leave it open.

Unless you have a pro account, notifications are only cached on the server for 12h so that's why you may miss old notifications.


Thanks for building something so sicc.


Thank you so much for this perfect product It completely fulfilled my needs

And the opportunity to host it by myself is really useful The best of both worlds

Thank you very much for your hard work
