24 alternatives to Apprise – A lightweight all-in-one notification solution

I introduced Hacker News to Apprise back when it was just an experiment (and supported just 30 or so notification services at the time). Now supporting more then 85+ services and with a ton of built in features, I officially created it's first stable v1.0.0 release marking a major milestone for the project. Apprise doesn't compete with other notification services out there; instead it just acts as a proxy (or master switchboard) to support handling messages to them. It's a means of decoupling notification support from the systems that want to provide them. The idea is to adopt Apprise into…

Apprise is a lightweight notification tool that consolidates alerts from multiple services into one platform. It allows users to manage notifications across different channels without running separate systems. Launched… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    We as developers, build and maintain many services in code, one of them being notification service. In the last 5-7 years, API-to-user communications have exploded across SMS, email, chat apps, mobile, and web push. As a consequence, notification service handling them has become quite complex. Developers spend time building integrations with multiple providers, create templates for each channel, managing scheduling and routing based on preferences, maintaining queues to deliver notifications on time while managing scale. Besides, product teams have poor visibility on notifications as…

    I built this app primarily for my wife, who has tried many mainstream todo-list apps (OmniFocus, Things, and Todoist come to mind) over the years with little success. She isn't particularly interested in setting up a productivity system and the administrivia that goes with it. Even having to remember to look at an app once a day was far from ideal for her. This app is an attempt at a solution for anyone that fits this description, with a focus on alerting over organization. Here's how it works: you create a nudge that's set to trigger at a given date and time, and the app phones you, texts…

    We at Emerge Tools (YC W21) recently released open source Hacker News apps for both iOS and Android. The apps use the latest SwiftUI and Compose frameworks and are entirely native. Our goal is to help dogfood our products, but more importantly our team just enjoys reading HN every day and wanted an app to hack on and call our own. :) We are still missing some features but should otherwise be pretty solid. And open to any contributions. iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hacker-news-by-emerge/id674092... Android:…

    After reading about what happened with NightOwl yesterday [0], I thought about what it would take to be aware of things like that in the future. I created ToSNotify to automatically notify you when a website's terms change. A harder problem I've been thinking through is how to know which terms to track, since it'd be a pain to add every site I have an account with. One idea I had is to automatically get terms for apps you have installed from the app store. Any other ideas/feedback are appreciated! [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37052508
