ntfy is a Python command-line utility for sending notifications from the shell, either as desktop notifications or push notifications to phones via services like Pushover. It can automatically notify when long-running commands finish and offers shell integration for bash and zsh.

Use cases

• send a push notification to my phone when a long command finishes
• get a desktop notification when a build completes
• notify me when a script finishes running in the terminal
• send notifications from shell scripts
• automatically alert me when a background process with a given pid exits
• add shell integration so every long command notifies me when done

When to choose

• you want simple CLI-based notifications from bash/zsh without writing code
• you need push notifications to your phone when terminal commands finish
• you want automatic notification of long-running command completion via shell integration

When to avoid

• you need a full notification server with a web interface (the unrelated ntfy.sh project fits better)
• you need programmatic notification APIs inside an application rather than a CLI tool
• you rely on macOS desktop notifications, which are reported as unsupported
