ntfy 1.0.2

A utility for sending push notifications

ntfy is a command line utility (and to a degree, python library) for sending push notifications. It also can send a notification when a program finishes.

Unlike many existing utilities for Pushover or Pushbullet, it supports multiple backends.

Demo

Install

sudo pip install ntfy

Note: It is suggested to globally (as indicated above, without a virtualenv) install ntfy. It can be installed in a virtualenv, with caveats. Linux notifications requires --system-site-packages to be used and OS X notifications don’t work at all.

Emoji Support :tada:

ntfy features emoji support, it is installable as an extra, just install like this:

sudo pip install ntfy[emoji]

XMPP Support

The xmpp module requires sleekxmpp. To install this extra install ntfy like this:

sudo pip install ntfy[xmpp]

Usage

# send a notification
ntfy send "Here's a notification!"

# send a notification with custom title (default is $USER@$HOST)
ntfy -t 'ntfy' send "Here's a notification with a custom title!"

# send a notification when the command `sleep 10` finishes
# this send the message '"sleep 10" succeeded in 0:10 minutes'
ntfy done sleep 10
