Get notified when something happens

Pushie lets you send notifications to yourself from anywhere. Create an account, claim a username, and start pushing to every device you are signed in on with a single HTTP request.

No app or SDK to install. No complex authentication. Just a POST request with your message.

Get started

Already got an account? Log in

How it works?

Sign up and choose your username. Every username is a notification channel that belongs to you.

When you want to send a notification, make a POST request to your channel with your message:

curl -X POST https://pushie.net/api/push/your-username \
  -H "x-api-key: your-api-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "Your script finished running!"}'

Notifications are delivered with Web Push, the standard built into modern browsers, so there is no app to download. Open Pushie in your browser, log in, and enable notifications. From then on every push shows up right away on that device - phone, tablet, laptop, anywhere.

On iPhone and iPad, add Pushie to your Home Screen first. Apple only allows web push for installed web apps.

By default only you can push to your channel. You can extend access to teammates or collaborators by adding them to your allowed users list, and they can push to you through the same simple endpoint.

Notifications are stored for 24 hours and then automatically deleted.

Where can I use this?

This is ideal for automated alerts. Use it as a webhook receiver for your CI/CD pipeline, AI agents, cron jobs, background workers, or any process that needs to tell you when something happens.

For example Your build script finishes, it POSTs to Pushie, and you are notified on your phone - even when you are away from your desk.
