You can send push notifications to your iPhone by simply calling an HTTP API. Bark supports many advanced iOS push features, such as custom icons, notification grouping, custom ringtones, continuous alerts, critical alerts, and encrypted pushes. Bark does not consume device battery, as its core functionality relies on system push services and push extensions, and the app itself does not need to be running. Bark ensures your privacy and security with high reliability. Bark supports self-deploying the server, which can be deployed via Docker, Serverless, or Cloudflare Worker. The bark-server supports most operating systems, and you can also run it manually. The app is compiled and uploaded through Github Action, ensuring that the version you’re using is compiled from open-source code, without any modifications by anyone (including the author). Bark supports end-to-end push encryption with a custom key, ensuring that the push content is not accessed or leaked by the Bark server or Apple’s APNs server during transmission. The notification message history saved locally by Bark is also very secure. Using the NotificationServiceExtension, the push message is only stored on the device when the push is received.

一款基于 RIME(Rime Input Method Engine · 中州韻輸入法引擎)的输入法。它有以下特点: 1. 在 RIME 引擎的支持下,输入法高度可定制; 2. 支持按键划动输入符号,并且可以自定义输入符号; 3. 支持自定义键盘配色; 感谢 TF 测试反馈的伙伴,没有你们的帮助,新版本就不会上架了。 注意: 1. 无需联网指键盘输入过程,应用功能中「下载输入方案」,「WiFi上传」等功能还是需要网络支持的。
