What's New

Instant push notifications via ntfy — When the ntfy bundle is installed on your Crow instance, the app maintains a persistent connection and delivers notifications within a second. No separate ntfy app needed.

  • NtfyListenerService: foreground service with JSON streaming, exponential backoff reconnection, config caching for boot reliability
  • BootReceiver: auto-starts the push listener on device reboot
  • Encrypted auth token storage (EncryptedSharedPreferences)
  • since= parameter prevents message replay on reconnect
  • Background polling (15-min WorkManager) continues as fallback

Requirements

  • Android 7.0+ (API 24)
  • Crow gateway with ntfy bundle installed (crow bundle install ntfy)
  • Tailscale for remote access

Install

  1. Download app-release.apk below
  2. Enable "Install from unknown sources" for your browser
  3. Install and enter your gateway URL
