Unless you have a pro account, notifications are only cached on the server for 12h so that's why you may miss old notifications.
ntfy offers you additional options with instant delivery or the selfhostable server. That requires a server connection and does impact battery a little. On my phone it doesn't show up in the list it's so low, but others have reported more consumption
That said, if you have suggestions that are not super inconvenient, please let me know.
My main goal with this was to make sure it cannot go wild on my own system.
I made this little Dockerfile and script that lets me run Claude in a Docker container. It only has access to the workspace that I'm in, as well as the GitHub and JIRA CLI tool. It can do whatever it wants in the workspace (it's in git and backed up), so I can run it with --dangerously-skip-permissions. It works well for me. I bet there are better ways, and I bet it's not as safe as it could be. I'd love to learn about other ways that people do this.
Source: I work for a backup company that uses ZFS a lot.
Pushover is an amazing tool and works well. In my obviously biased opinion though, I think that ntfy has a ton more features than Pushover and is fully open source. You can self host all aspects of it or you can use the hosted version on ntfy.sh for free, without signups, or pay for higher limits.
I suggest you try out ntfy;-)
On a personal note, Trixie is very exciting for me because my side project, ntfy [1], was packaged [2] and is now included in Trixie. I only learned about the fact that it was included very late in cycle when the package maintainer asked for license clarifications. As a result the Debian-ized version of ntfy doesn't contain a web app (which is a reaaal bummer), and has a few things "patched out" (which is fine). I approached the maintainer and just recently added build tags [3] to make it easier to remove Stripe, Firebase and WebPush, so that the next Debian-ized version will not have to contain (so many) awkward patches.
As an "upstream maintainer", I must say it isn't obvious at all why the web app wasn't included. It was clearly removed on purpose [4], but I don't really know what to do to get it into the next Debian release. Doing an "apt install ntfy" is going to be quite disappointing for most if the web app doesn't work. Any help or guidance is very welcome!
