ntfy is a simple, open-source push notification service. Quackback publishes to a topic you control, so you get an instant alert on your phone or desktop the moment feedback comes in, a status changes, or someone comments. Use the free ntfy.sh service or your own self-hosted server — no account, no third-party cloud, no email delay.

Connect ntfy to Quackback in three steps.
Create or choose an ntfy topic and subscribe to it in the ntfy app

Paste your topic URL in Quackback and save
In Quackback, paste your topic URL (and an optional access token), then Save — a test notification confirms it works.
