--- layout: base.njk key: ntfy title: ntfy --- # ntfy ntfy is a versatile tool for notification about various events. It also supports UnifiedPush, an open protocol for real-time notifications. To use ntfy as a central app for notifications, the app must first be installed on the phone. Then, apps that support UnifiedPush, such as Element, Fluffychat or Tusky can use ntfy as a push provider. This way, not all apps need to keep a connection open to the server and are more energy efficient as a result. In order for you to use my server, you must first set it up in the settings. __Since May 2023 I provide ntfy for free: [https://ntfy.sp-codes.de](https://ntfy.sp-codes.de)__ You are welcome to use ntfy as push provider for your apps if you like. ## More useful links * [ntfy Website](https://ntfy.sh) * [Sourcecode of ntfy](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy)
