Release notes

Binaries for all releases can be found on the GitHub releases pages for the ntfy server and the ntfy Android app.

ntfy server v2.11.0

Released May 13, 2024

This is a tiny release that fixes a database index issue that caused performance issues on ntfy.sh. It also fixes a bug in the rate visitor logic that caused rate visitors to be assigned to seemingly random topics. Nothing major this time.

❤️ Quick reminder that if you like ntfy, please consider sponsoring us via GitHub Sponsors and Liberapay, or buying a paid plan via the web app. ntfy will always remain open source.

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • Re-add database index idx_topic to the messages table to fix performance issues on ntfy.sh (no ticket, big thanks to @tcaputi for finding this issue)
  • Do not set rate visitor for non-eligible topics (no ticket)
  • Do not cache config.js (#1098, thanks to @wunter8)

ntfy server v2.10.0

Released Mar 27, 2024

This release adds support for message templating in the ntfy server, which allows you to include a message and/or title template that will be filled with values from a JSON body (e.g. curl -gd '{"alert":"Disk space low"}' "ntfy.sh/mytopic?tpl=1&m={{.alert}}"). This is great for services that let you specify a webhook URL but do not let you change the webhook body (such as GitHub, or Grafana).

Features:

  • Message templating: You can now include a message and/or title template that will be filled with values from a JSON body (#724, thanks to @wunter8 for implementing)

ntfy server v2.9.0

Released Mar 7, 2024

A small release after a long pause (lots of day job work). This release adds for larger messages and longer message delays in scheduled delivery messages. The web app also now supports pasting images from the clipboard. Other than that, only a few bug fixes and documentation updates, and a teeny tiny breaking change 😬.

!!! info ⚠️ Breaking change: The Rate-Topics header was removed due to a DoS issue. This only affects installations with visitor-subscriber-rate-limiting: true, which is not the default and likely very rarely used. Normally I'd never remove a feature, but this is a security issue, and likely affects almost nobody.

Features:

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • ⚠️ Remove Rate-Topics header due to DoS security issue if visitor-subscriber-rate-limiting: true (#1048)

Documentation:

ntfy iOS app v1.3

Released Nov 26, 2023

This release (hopefully) fixes the issues with the iOS UI not updating properly when new notifications arrive, as well as notifications not being received (anymore) after previously working. Both issues have been annoying and known bugs for a long time, and I hope that they are finally fixed.

Many thanks to @tcaputi for fixing the issues, and to the anonymous donor for sponsoring these fixes.

Bug fixes:

ntfy server v2.8.0

Released November 19, 2023

This release brings a handful of random bug fixes: two unrelated access control list fixes, a fix around web app crashes for languages with underscores in the language code (e.g. zh_Hant, zh_Hans, pt_BR, ...), a workaround for the Priority header (often used in Cloudflare setups), and support among others support for HTML-only emails (finally), web app crash fixes

Bug fixes + maintenance:

Additional languages:

ntfy server v2.7.0

Released August 17, 2023

This release ships Markdown support for the web app (not in the Android app yet), and adds support for right-to-left languages (RTL) in the web app. It also fixes a few issues around date/time formatting, internationalization support, a CLI auth bug.

Furthermore, it fixes a security issue around access tokens getting erroneously deleted for other users in a specific scenario. This was a denial-of-service-type security issue, since it effectively allowed a single user to deny access to all other users of a ntfy instance. Please note that while tokens were erroneously deleted, nobody but the token owner ever had access to it. Please refer to the ticket for details. Please upgrade your ntfy instance if you run a multi-user system.

Features:

Security: ⚠️

  • Fixes issue with access tokens getting deleted (#838)

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • Fix issues with date/time with different locales (#700, thanks to @nimbleghost)
  • Re-init i18n on each service worker message to avoid missing translations (#817, thanks to @nihalgonsalves)
  • You can now unset the default user:pass/token in client.yml for an individual subscription to remove the Authorization header (#829, thanks to @tomeon for reporting and to @wunter8 for fixing)

Documentation:

ntfy server v2.6.2

Released June 30, 2023

With this release, the ntfy web app now contains a progressive web app (PWA) with Web Push support, which means you'll be able to install the ntfy web app on your desktop or phone similar to a native app (even on iOS! 🥳). Installing the PWA gives ntfy web its own launcher, a standalone window, push notifications, and an app badge with the unread notification count. Note that for self-hosted servers, Web Push must be configured.

On top of that, this release also brings dark mode 🧛🌙 to the web app.

🙏 A huge thanks for this release goes to @nimbleghost, for basically implementing the Web Push / PWA and dark mode feature by himself. I'm really grateful for your contributions.

❤️ If you like ntfy, please consider sponsoring us via GitHub Sponsors and Liberapay, or buying a paid plan via the web app (20% off if you use promo code MYTOPIC). ntfy will always remain open source.

Features:

Bug fixes:

  • Support encoding any header as RFC 2047 (#737, thanks to @cfouche3005 for reporting)
  • Do not forward poll requests for UnifiedPush messages (no ticket, thanks to NoName for reporting)
  • Fix ntfy pub % segfaulting (#760, thanks to @clesmian for reporting)
  • Newly created access tokens are now lowercase only to fully support <topic>+<token>@<domain> email syntax (#773, thanks to gingervitiz for reporting)
  • The .1 release fixes a few visual issues with dark mode, and other web app updates (#791, #793, #792, thanks to @nimbleghost)
  • The .2 release fixes issues with the service worker in Firefox and adds automatic service worker updates (#795, thanks to @nimbleghost)

Maintenance:

Changes in tarball/zip naming:
Due to a change in GoReleaser, some of the binary release archives now have slightly different names. My apologies if this causes issues in the downstream projects that use ntfy:

  • ntfy_v${VERSION}_windows_x86_64.zip -> ntfy_v${VERSION}_windows_amd64.zip
  • ntfy_v${VERSION}_linux_x86_64.tar.gz -> ntfy_v${VERSION}_linux_amd64.tar.gz
  • ntfy_v${VERSION}_macOS_all.tar.gz -> ntfy_v${VERSION}_darwin_all.tar.gz

ntfy server v2.5.0

Released May 18, 2023

This release brings a number of new features, including support for text-to-speech style phone calls, an admin API to manage users and ACL (currently in beta, and hence undocumented), and support for authorized access to upstream servers via the upstream-access-token config option.

❤️ If you like ntfy, please consider sponsoring me via GitHub Sponsors and Liberapay, or by buying a paid plan via the web app (20% off if you use promo code MYTOPIC). ntfy will always remain open source.

Features:

  • Support for text-to-speech style phone calls using the X-Call header (no ticket)
  • Admin API to manage users and ACL, v1/users + v1/users/access (intentionally undocumented as of now, #722, thanks to @CreativeWarlock for sponsoring this ticket)
  • Added upstream-access-token config option to allow authorized access to upstream servers (no ticket)

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • Removed old ntfy website from ntfy entirely (no ticket)
  • Make emoji lookup for emails more efficient (#725, thanks to @adamantike)

  • Attachments with filenames that are downloaded using a browser will now download with the proper filename (#726, thanks to @un99known99 for reporting, and @wunter8 for fixing)
  • Fix web app i18n issue in account preferences (#730, thanks to @codebude for reporting)

ntfy server v2.4.0

Released Apr 26, 2023

This release adds a tiny v1/stats endpoint to expose how many messages have been published, and adds support to encode the X-Title, X-Message and X-Tags header as RFC 2047. It's a pretty small release, and mainly enables the release of the new ntfy.sh website.

❤️ If you like ntfy, please consider sponsoring me via GitHub Sponsors and Liberapay, or by buying a paid plan via the web app. ntfy will always remain open source.

Features:

  • ntfy CLI (ntfy publish and ntfy subscribe only) can now be installed via Homebrew (thanks to @Moulick)
  • Added v1/stats endpoint to expose messages stats (no ticket)
  • Support RFC 2047 encoded headers (no ticket, honorable mention to mqttwarn and @amotl)

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • Hide country flags on Windows (#606, thanks to @cmeis for reporting, and to @pokej6 for fixing it)
  • ntfy sub now uses default auth credentials as defined in client.yml (#698, thanks to @CrimsonFez for reporting, and to @wunter8 for fixing it)

Documentation:

  • Updated PowerShell examples (#697, thanks to @Natfan)

Additional languages:

ntfy server v2.3.1

Released March 30, 2023

This release disables server-initiated polling of iOS devices entirely, thereby eliminating the thundering herd problem on ntfy.sh that we observe every 20 minutes. The polling was never strictly necessary, and has actually caused duplicate delivery issues as well, so disabling it should not have any negative effects. iOS users, please reach out via Discord or Matrix if there are issues.

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • Disable iOS polling entirely (#677/#509)

ntfy server v2.3.0

Released March 29, 2023

This release primarily fixes an issue with delayed messages, and it adds support for Go's profiler (if enabled), which will allow investigating usage spikes in more detail. There will likely be a follow-up release this week to fix the actual spikes caused by iOS devices.

Features:

  • ntfy now supports Go's pprof profiler, if enabled (relates to #677)

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • Fix delayed message sending from authenticated users (#679)
  • Fixed plural for Polish and other translations (#678, thanks to @bmoczulski)

ntfy server v2.2.0

Released March 17, 2023

With this release, ntfy is now able to expose metrics via a /metrics endpoint for Prometheus, if enabled. The endpoint exposes about 20 different counters and gauges, from the number of published messages and emails, to active subscribers, visitors and topics. If you'd like more metrics, pop in the Discord/Matrix or file an issue on GitHub.

On top of this, you can now use access tokens in the ntfy CLI (defined in the client.yml file), fixed a bug in ntfy subscribe, removed the dependency on Google Fonts, and more.

🔥 Reminder: Purchase one of three ntfy Pro plans for 50% off for a limited time (if you use promo code MYTOPIC). ntfy Pro gives you higher rate limits and lets you reserve topic names. Buy through web app.

❤️ If you don't need ntfy Pro, please consider sponsoring ntfy via GitHub Sponsors and Liberapay. ntfy will stay open source forever.

Features:

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • ntfy sub --poll --from-config will now include authentication headers from client.yml (if applicable) (#658, thanks to @wunter8)
  • Docs: Removed dependency on Google Fonts in docs (#554, thanks to @bt90 for reporting, and @ozskywalker for implementing)
  • Increase allowed auth failure attempts per IP address to 30 (no ticket)
  • Web app: Increase maximum incremental backoff retry interval to 2 minutes (no ticket)

Documentation:

  • Make query parameter description more clear (#630, thanks to @bbaa-bbaa for reporting, and to @wunter8 for a fix)

ntfy server v2.1.2

Released March 4, 2023

This is a hotfix release, mostly to combat the ridiculous amount of Matrix requests with invalid/dead pushkeys, and the corresponding HTTP 507 responses the ntfy.sh server is sending out. We're up to >600k HTTP 507 responses per day 🤦. This release solves this issue by rejecting Matrix pushkeys, if nobody has subscribed to the corresponding topic for 12 hours.

The release furthermore reverts the default rate limiting behavior for UnifiedPush to be publisher-based, and introduces a flag to enable subscriber-based rate limiting for high volume servers.

Features:

  • Support SMTP servers without auth (#645, thanks to @Sharknoon for reporting)

Bug fixes + maintenance:

ntfy server v2.1.1

Released March 1, 2023

This is a tiny release with a few bug fixes, but it's big for me personally. After almost three months of work, today I am finally launching the paid plans on ntfy.sh 🥳 🎉.

You are now able to purchase one of three plans that'll give you higher rate limits (messages, emails, attachment sizes, ...), as well as the ability to reserve topic names for your personal use, while at the same time supporting me and the ntfy open source project ❤️. You can check out the pricing, and purchase plans through the web app (use promo code MYTOPIC for a 50% discount, limited time only).

And as I've said many times: Do not worry. ntfy will always stay open source, and that includes all features. There are no closed-source features. So if you'd like to run your own server, you can!

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • Fix panic when using Firebase without users (#641, thanks to u/heavybell for reporting)
  • Remove health check from Dockerfile and document it (#635, thanks to @Andersbiha)
  • Upgrade dialog: Disable submit button for free tier (no ticket)
  • Allow multiple log-level-overrides on the same field (no ticket)
  • Actually remove ntfy publish --env-topic flag (as per deprecations, no ticket)
  • Added billing-contact config option (no ticket)

ntfy server v2.1.0

Released February 25, 2023

This release changes the way UnifiedPush (UP) topics are rate limited from publisher-based rate limiting to subscriber-based rate limiting. This allows UP application servers to send higher volumes, since the subscribers carry the rate limits. However, it also means that UP clients have to subscribe to a topic first before they are allowed to publish. If they do no, clients will receive an HTTP 507 response from the server.

We also fixed another issue with UnifiedPush: Some Mastodon servers were sending unsupported Authorization headers, which ntfy rejected with an HTTP 401. We now ignore unsupported header values.

As of this release, ntfy also supports sending emails to protected topics, and it ships code to support annual billing cycles (not live yet).

As part of this release, I also enabled sign-up and login (free accounts only), and I also started reducing the rate limits for anonymous & free users a bit. With the next release and the launch of the paid plan, I'll reduce the limits a bit more. For 90% of users, you should not feel the difference.

Features:

  • UnifiedPush: Subscriber-based rate limiting for up* topics (#584/#609/#633, thanks to @karmanyaahm)
  • Support for publishing to protected topics via email with access tokens (#612, thanks to @tamcore)
  • Support for base64-encoded and nested multipart emails (#610, thanks to @Robert-litts)
  • Payments: Add support for annual billing intervals (no ticket)

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • Web: Do not disable "Reserve topic" checkbox for admins (no ticket, thanks to @xenrox for reporting)
  • UnifiedPush: Treat non-Basic/Bearer Authorization header like header was not sent (#629, thanks to @Boebbele and @S1m for reporting)

ntfy server v2.0.1

Released February 17, 2023

This is a quick bugfix release to address a panic that happens when attachment-cache-dir is not set.

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • Avoid panic in manager when attachment-cache-dir is not set (#617, thanks to @ksurl)
  • Ensure that calls to standard logger log.Println also output JSON (no ticket)

ntfy server v2.0.0

Released February 16, 2023

This is the biggest ntfy server release I've ever done 🥳 . Lots of new and exciting features.

Brand-new features:

  • User signup/login & account sync: If enabled, users can now register to create a user account, and then login to the web app. Once logged in, topic subscriptions and user settings are stored server-side in the user account (as opposed to only in the browser storage). So far, this is implemented only in the web app only. Once it's in the Android/iOS app, you can easily keep your account in sync. Relevant config options are enable-signup and enable-login.
  • Topic reservations 🎉: If enabled, users can now reserve topics and restrict access to other users. Once this is fully rolled out, you may reserve ntfy.sh/philbackups and define access so that only you can publish/subscribe to the topic. Reservations let you claim ownership of a topic, and you can define access permissions for others as deny-all (only you have full access), read-only (you can publish/subscribe, others can subscribe), write-only (you can publish/subscribe, others can publish), read-write (everyone can publish/subscribe, but you remain the owner). Topic reservations can be configured in the web app if enable-reservations is enabled, and only if the user has a tier that supports reservations.
  • Access tokens: It is now possible to create user access tokens for a user account. Access tokens are useful to avoid having to paste your password to various applications or scripts. For instance, you may want to use a dedicated token to publish from your backup host, and one from your home automation system. Tokens can be configured in the web app, or via the ntfy token command. See creating tokens, and publishing using tokens.
  • Structured logging: I've redone a lot of the logging to make it more structured, and to make it easier to debug and troubleshoot. Logs can now be written to a file, and as JSON (if configured). Each log event carries context fields that you can filter and search on using tools like jq. On top of that, you can override the log level if certain fields match. For instance, you can say user_name=phil -> debug to log everything related to a certain user with debug level. See logging & debugging.
  • Tiers: You can now define and associate usage tiers to users. Tiers can be used to grant users higher limits, such as daily message limits, attachment size, or make it possible for users to reserve topics. You could, for instance, have a tier Standard that allows 500 messages/day, 15 MB attachments and 5 allowed topic reservations, and another tier Friends & Family with much higher limits. For ntfy.sh, I'll mostly use these tiers to facilitate paid plans (see below). Tiers can be configured via the ntfy tier ... command. See tiers.
  • Paid tiers: Starting very soon, I will be offering paid tiers for ntfy.sh on top of the free service. You'll be able to subscribe to tiers with higher rate limits (more daily messages, bigger attachments) and topic reservations. Paid tiers are facilitated by integrating Stripe as a payment provider. See payments for details.

ntfy is forever open source!
Yes, I will be offering some paid plans. But you don't need to panic! I won't be taking any features away, and everything will remain forever open source, so you can self-host if you like. Similar to the donations via GitHub Sponsors and Liberapay, paid plans will help pay for the service and keep me motivated to keep going. It'll only make ntfy better.

Other tickets:

  • User account signup, login, topic reservations, access tokens, tiers etc. (#522)
  • OPTIONS method calls are not serviced when the UI is disabled (#598, thanks to @enticedwanderer for reporting)

Special thanks:

A big Thank-you goes to everyone who tested the user account and payments work. I very much appreciate all the feedback, suggestions, and bug reports. Thank you, @nwithan8, @deadcade, @xenrox, @cmeis, @wunter8 and the others who I forgot.

ntfy server v1.31.0

Released February 14, 2023

This is a tiny release before the really big release, and also the last before the big v2.0.0. The most interesting things in this release are the new preliminary health endpoint to allow monitoring in K8s (and others), and the removal of upx binary packing (which was causing erroneous virus flagging). Aside from that, the go-smtp library did a breaking-change upgrade, which required some work to get working again.

Features:

  • Preliminary /v1/health API endpoint for service monitoring (no ticket)
  • Add basic health check to Dockerfile (#555, thanks to @bt90)

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • Fix chown issues with RHEL-like based systems (#566/#565, thanks to @danieldemus)
  • Removed upx (binary packing) for all builds due to false virus warnings (#576, thanks to @shawnhwei for reporting)
  • Upgraded go-smtp library and tests to v0.16.0 (#569)

Released December 23, 2022 🎅

This is a special holiday edition version of ntfy, with all sorts of holiday fun and games, and hidden quests. Nahh, just kidding. This release is an intermediate release mainly to eliminate warnings in the logs, so I can roll out the TLSv1.3, HTTP/2 and Unix mode changes on ntfy.sh (see #552).

Features:

Bug fixes + maintenance:

  • Remove --env-topic option from ntfy publish as per deprecation (no ticket)
  • Prepared statements for message cache writes (#542, thanks to @nicois)

ntfy server v1.29.1

Released November 17, 2022

This is mostly a bugfix release to address the high load on ntfy.sh. There are now two new options that allow synchronous batch-writing of messages to the cache. This avoids database locking, and subsequent pileups of waiting requests.

Thanks to some love on HN, we got so many new ntfy users trying out ntfy and joining the chat rooms. Welcome to the ntfy community to all of you! We also got a ton of new sponsors and donations 💸, which is amazing. I'd like to thank all of you for believing in the project, and for helping me pay the server cost. The HN spike increased the AWS cost quite a bit.

ntfy server v1.28.0

Released September 27, 2022

This release primarily adds icon support for the Android app, and adds a display name to subscriptions in the web app. Aside from that, we fixed a few random bugs, most importantly the Priority header bug that allows the use behind Cloudflare. We also added a ton of documentation. Most prominently, an integrations + projects page.

ntfy server v1.27.2

Released June 23, 2022

This release brings two new CLI options to wait for a command to finish, or for a PID to exit. It also adds more detail to trace debug output. Aside from other bugs, it fixes a performance issue that occurred in large installations every minute or so, due to competing stats gathering (personal installations will likely be unaffected by this).

Features:

Bug fixes:

  • Fix slow requests due to excessive locking (#338)

ntfy iOS app v1.2

Released June 16, 2022

This release adds support for authentication/authorization for self-hosted servers. It also allows you to set your server as the default server for new topics.

Features:

  • Support for auth and user management (#277)
  • Ability to add default server (#295)

Bug fixes:

  • Add validation for selfhosted server URL (#290)

ntfy server v1.25.2

Released June 2, 2022

This release adds the ability to set a log level to facilitate easier debugging of live systems. It also solves a production problem with a few over-users that resulted in Firebase quota problems (only applying to the over-users). We now block visitors from using Firebase if they trigger a quota exceeded response.

On top of that, we updated the Firebase SDK and are now building the release in GitHub Actions. We've also got two more translations: Chinese/Simplified and Dutch.

Features:

  • Advanced logging, with different log levels and hot reloading of the log level (#284)

Bugs:

  • Respect Firebase "quota exceeded" response for topics, block Firebase publishing for user for 10min (#289)
  • Fix documentation header blue header due to mkdocs-material theme update (no ticket)

Maintenance:

  • Upgrade Firebase Admin SDK to 4.x (#274)
  • CI: Build from pipeline instead of locally (#36)

ntfy iOS app v1.1

Released May 31, 2022

In this release of the iOS app, we add message priorities (mapped to iOS interruption levels), tags and emojis, action buttons to open websites or perform HTTP requests (in the notification and the detail view), a custom click action when the notification is tapped, and various other fixes.

It also adds support for self-hosted servers (albeit not supporting auth yet). The self-hosted server needs to be configured to forward poll requests to upstream ntfy.sh for push notifications to work (see iOS push notifications for details).

Features:

  • Message priority support (no ticket)
  • Tags/emojis support (no ticket)
  • Action buttons support (no ticket)
  • Click action support (no ticket)
  • Open topic when notification clicked (no ticket)
  • Notification now makes a sound and vibrates (no ticket)
  • Cancel notifications when navigating to topic (no ticket)
  • iOS 14.0 support (no ticket, PR#1, thanks to @callum-99)

Bug fixes:

  • iOS UI not always updating properly (#267)

ntfy iOS app v1.0

Released May 25, 2022

This is the first version of the ntfy iOS app. It supports only ntfy.sh (no selfhosted servers) and only messages + title (no priority, tags, attachments, ...). I'll rapidly add (hopefully) most of the other ntfy features, and then I'll focus on self-hosted servers.

The app is now available in the App Store.
