Gotify

A self-hosted push notification server with a simple REST API

About Gotify

Gotify is a free, open-source server for sending and receiving push notifications. Applications and scripts send messages through a simple REST API, and Gotify delivers them in real time over WebSocket to its web UI, Android app and command-line client. You host it yourself, so notifications from your monitoring, backups and home automation stay on your own infrastructure. Gotify suits developers and self-hosters looking for a private alternative to services like Pushbullet or Pushover.
