So simple yet difficult

Unable to get the actual notification to my phone.
Even though my phone is set to loud badges and notifications. The app never makes a noise or show a notification has been received. Desperately need this to work but no luck

Nice app, but needs a usability improvement

I appreciate that a free app is basically someone's hobby. I'm grateful for having this. But why do so many apps insist on cutting off long labels with ellipsis and make my it impossible to read the full label?

This app requires use of obscure topic/channel names. Okay great, but how am I ever supposed to retrieve the topic if there is literally nowhere in the UI where it is displayed fully?

Suggested improvement: extend the topic display to be dynamic text and not a limited one line label. having multiline topic is essential.

Simple and brilliant

It’s not trying to be a multi-tool. It does its one thing - providing an endpoint for mobile notifications - very well and free of charge or advertising. Thank you!

The perfect solution

This solves a simple yet pervasive and valuable problem darn near perfectly.

Great

Loved it

Great update!

New update adds inline image support, something that sorely been missed. Works great on macOS desktop too!

used on my small business

thank you. there isnt much else to say.

awesome

This is a awesome app

Limited Settings

Don’t get me wrong, this is a brilliant app considering its price (free) but I wish there was an option to change the notification sound in settings.

Can’t be THIS easy to use

Literally one step setup 😭 needed a notification system for a bot i made. Was doing email notifications but it was flooding my mailbox. Switched to this. Can spam the notification topic as much as i want

Simple and powerful

A little app that solves a huge problem, it is an amazing tool, great thanks to the creator

Just what I needed

I needed to receive notifications of an automation that I configured on my Mac device and I found this application, really easy to configure and use. Thank you for that!
The missing star is for a potential improvement window and not a negative point, which would allow us to read at least certain attached files (.md, .txt) or receive longer messages if the content is a bit longer.

Great app for quick and easy notifications

If you want elaborate functionality, pay for an app. This is great for simple utility notifications.

Who is rating this 5 stars?

2 years without an update? Come on!

Fix the images

awesome!

thank you for building this and making it available for free!

Exactly what I needed

Perfect for text only log notifications. Very easy to set up and fast

Just works. Super lite.

This app just works. Super simple, super lite. Love it!!!

great tool!

easy 5 min setup, was able to hook this up to my copilot CLI to send me notifs when it’s done working. truly a great functional app

Solid

Thank you for building this, implemented what I needed in less than 5 mins, saved me a TON of time!! Brilliant little app!

Amazing Possibilities

I’m enjoying this app so far, and have already found some wonderful use cases. One feature I’d love to see is a per-topic priority level filter for notifications. As of my testing, currently I get notifications for EVERYTHING regardless of priority. I’d love to filter out priority 1/2 notifications and only receive 3+. Please be sure this is set at the topic level. Thanks!
