PushGo is a push notification and event alerting app for developers, DevOps users, self-hosting enthusiasts, NAS users, and smart home setups. It is built for the kinds of updates that matter: server alerts, script results, automation status, security notices, home device events, and business system notifications. A useful alert is rarely just a line of text. What matters is which object changed, whether the change is abnormal, and whether it needs your attention. PushGo organizes information around three models — Messages, Events, and Objects — so scattered notifications become clearer, more structured, and easier to understand in context. An Object can be a server, website, database, NAS, smart lock, sensor, automation task, or anything else you need to keep an eye on. An Event can be a service outage, low disk space, failed backup, failed build, offline device, water leak alert, suspicious login, abnormal order, or another state change. A Message delivers that change to your device in a timely and secure way. If you run your own servers, VPS instances, NAS, databases, websites, or backend services, PushGo can help you receive alerts for CPU, memory, disk, network, endpoint availability, Docker, Redis, Nginx, backup jobs, certificate expiration, SSH logins, and other operational signals. You can also connect it to scripts, scheduled jobs, CI/CD pipelines, webhooks, or internal systems to receive task results, build status, release updates, data sync errors, and business alerts. For Home Assistant, NAS, and smart home workflows, PushGo can handle alerts for door locks, water leaks, smoke, abnormal temperature, sensor activity, offline devices, robot vacuum completion, washing machine cycles, NAS backups, and download jobs. These are often not casual notifications, but events you want to know about quickly and trace later if needed. For security-related and sensitive notifications, PushGo supports end-to-end encryption. Suspicious logins, new device sign-ins, sensitive operations, permission changes, API key or certificate reminders, unusual admin access, and firewall blocks can be delivered with stronger protection. On Apple platforms, PushGo uses Apple Push Notification service to deliver notifications. The app does not need to keep a long-running background connection or constantly poll your server. This reduces background resource usage and battery consumption while still allowing system-level push delivery. For server incidents, urgent events, security notices, and smart home alerts, being reliable, timely, and battery-friendly is not a bonus — it is part of the core experience. PushGo supports iOS, macOS, and watchOS. Important alerts can appear on your iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch, whether you are working at your desk, away from your computer, or simply glancing at your wrist. PushGo is free and open source, with flexible ways to use it. You can start quickly with the public gateway, or deploy your own PushGo gateway when privacy, security, and control matter more. The public gateway is convenient for getting started; self-hosting is a better fit for home servers, company networks, private systems, and environments where data ownership is important. The Apple client is built natively with SwiftUI. It is clean, lightweight, and focused on push notifications, event alerts, and object-based organization. You can begin with a single simple notification, then gradually connect more servers, devices, tasks, and automation workflows. PushGo is designed to bring important changes from your servers, devices, tasks, automation workflows, and business systems to your Apple devices in a clearer, safer, and more battery-friendly way.
