It still respects the silent switch. OPEN SOURCE & SELF-HOSTABLE KumaPush and its relay server are fully open source. Prefer to stay in control? Host the relay yourself and point the app at it. github.com/KartoffelChipss/Kumapush YOU'RE IN CONTROL Unregister your device at any time to stop receiving notifications.
