**ntfy** (pronounced "*notify*") is a simple HTTP-based [pub-sub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern)
notification service. With ntfy, you can **send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts** from any computer,
**without having to sign up or pay any fees**. If you'd like to run your own instance of the service, you can easily do
so since ntfy is open source.
You can access the free version of ntfy at **[ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh)**. There is also an [open-source Android app](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android)
available on [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.heckel.ntfy) or [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/io.heckel.ntfy/),
as well as an [open source iOS app](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios) available on the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ntfy/id1625396347).
## [ntfy Pro](https://ntfy.sh/app) πΈ π
I now offer paid plans for [ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh/) if you don't want to self-host, or you want to support the development of
ntfy (β [Purchase via web app](https://ntfy.sh/app)). You can **buy a plan for as low as $5/month**.
You can also donate via [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/binwiederhier), and [Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/ntfy).
I would be very humbled by your sponsorship. β€οΈ
