Not Open Source but I’ve been using https://pushover.net/ for this use case since forever. The website still looks the same as on the day I signed up for it probably more than 10 years ago. Never had an issue and using that in all my scripts or cron jobs.


I had all sorts of nfty notification to ios issues despite lots of trial and error and a bunch of AI tokens. I also moved to pushover.


I can't use it at all except for inconsequential notifications from my laptop (residential IP) or my phone (mobile IP).


What's the advantage over, say, having a Telegram bot push you messages instead of notifications?


Notifications can carry metadata like specific alert sounds or priorities. High priorities will even break through silence modes of your phone.

And you get a nice client with icons for each notification source, can filter by them, etc.


The advantage is that I don’t have to use Telegram and Pushover can just be triggered by curl in any scripts I use.


Not nitpicking but I have curl send telegram, it's not bad but I agree pushover looks nice

I have it so it can send email, telegram, or twilio call depending on urgency
