About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

ntfy is a simple HTTP pub/sub notification service where scripts publish messages to topics using PUT or POST and Android, iOS, web, or desktop clients subscribe to receive them. It supports both hosted and self-hosted use.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Publish notifications to topics with ordinary HTTP requests

curl and any HTTP client can send messages, making ntfy easy to add to existing scripts, cron jobs, and monitoring tasks.

Subscribe from Android, iOS, web, and desktop clients

Users can receive topic messages through mobile apps and web-based clients.

Sources: [2][3]

For simple operational notifications from servers, backups, and automation

It fits small infrastructure and personal-server workflows that need push notifications without a complex messaging SDK.

Review topic naming, authentication, and self-hosting for sensitive notifications

Public-service topics and access controls should be chosen carefully. Sensitive workflows may benefit from authenticated or self-hosted deployment.

Supplemental curator note

ntfy makes operational notifications simple: scripts, monitoring jobs, and backup tasks can publish messages with curl or ordinary HTTP requests instead of integrating a complex notification SDK. Users can choose the public ntfy.sh service or self-host the server.
