What is Gotify?
Gotify is a simple server for sending and receiving messages. Scripts and apps send notifications through its REST API, and you read them live in the web interface or the Android app. It can manage users, clients and applications, supports plugins and has a command-line tool for sending messages.
Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.
Pros: what Gotify does well
- Send alerts from any script with one request
- Live messages in the web page and Android app
- No third-party service needed
Cons: where it falls short
- Needs a server of your own
- Apps are available for Android only
Who Gotify is for
People who want their scripts and home server to notify them without a paid service.
Who can skip it
Anyone who needs an iPhone app.
