SodaPush is an open-source APNs delivery system. You can deploy it using Cloudflare Workers (also free) or a self-hosted server. SodaPush provides you with all the components you need for APNs. It helps you handle deviceToken storage, allows you to send push notifications to all users (or by userID or tags), and manages user access on the SodaPush server and the p8 key. All data is saved on your Cloudflare Workers, Queues and D1 or your server. This app is SodaPush's admin client, which lets you operate the SodaPush server through a GUI. All of SodaPush's code is open-source. Feel free to use it for APNs! Note: You need to deploy the SodaPush backend server yourself first on Cloudflare Workers or your self-hosted server first. This app only provides you with a GUI to manage the server. For more information, please check out: https://github.com/SodaPush Please use SodaPush reasonably.
