## What is Alai Notify?

Alai delivers notifications from a server you run yourself to your iPhone and Apple Watch. Scripts, backups, monitoring tools, CI pipelines and smart-home devices publish a message with a single HTTP request, and it arrives instantly as a native notification.

INSTANT, PRIVATE PUSH
With the open-source Alai server, pushes go straight from your server through Apple Push Notification service. There is no third-party relay and no account with us. The app also works with other ntfy-compatible servers, fetching new messages when opened and in the background.

EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
• Topics list with unread counts, and All Notifications across every topic
• Calendar view: a week strip over an hour-by-hour timeline of the day's notifications
• Search across every message, and results in iPhone-wide Spotlight search
• Rich messages: Markdown, priorities, emoji tags, images and attachments, and action buttons that open links or call webhooks

BUILT FOR APPLE DEVICES
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with recent notifications
• Apple Watch app with complications for the latest message and unread count
• Time-sensitive delivery for high-priority alerts
• Swipe to mute, mark as read or unsubscribe

YOUR SERVER, YOUR RULES
• Sign in with a username and password or an access token
• Browse the topics you own and those shared with you
• Reserve topics and choose who else may read or publish
• Create device keys: labeled access tokens with an optional expiry and a ready-to-paste curl command

No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Alai talks only to the servers you add.

Alai is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the ntfy project.
