Upstream project
pulse is a notification hub: it watches your relays and pushes what matters — mentions, replies, zaps, DMs — to your phone. You install it as an app (PWA) from its domain, set your identity, relays and rules inside it, and from then on the notifications arrive like any other app’s.
Delivery works two ways:
- Web push — the standard route; on iOS this means native-style notifications straight from the installed app
- The bundled ntfy server — for de-googled Android: the ntfy app holds its own connection, no Google Play Services involved, works on GrapheneOS
Both channels are part of the deployment — pick per device.
Config
