NtfyBar is a native macOS menu-bar client for ntfy. It subscribes to your topics on ntfy.sh or your own server, keeps a searchable history, and lets each topic decide what happens: a normal notification, a popup that stays until you act, a copy to the clipboard, a shell command, or rules and plugins.

- No account, no telemetry, no update checks. Everything stays on your Mac.
- macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple Silicon and Intel.
- Not an official ntfy app. See the FAQ.
