Self-hosted web push Cloudflare Worker, works on iOS
A Worker and a KV namespace. Nothing to host, renew, or restart at 3am.
Your keys stay in your Worker, and the payload is encrypted to the
device. Nobody's dashboard sees your alerts.
iOS has rendered these natively since 18.4. No App Store, no $99 a
year for four words on a lock screen.
From the agent you left running, the moment it finishes
or stops to ask. From cron, CI, a Raspberry Pi, your backend, a shell
alias. Anything that can make an HTTP call can ring your phone.
Setup takes less than a minute. One command writes the Worker, generates
every key, installs them, provisions storage, and deploys.
That's it. You now have a push server of your own. Open
the printed URL in Safari on your iPhone, Add to Home Screen, and open it
from the icon. Apple's rule, once per device.
Then Kukuroo mounts into the router you already have, rather than asking
for a Worker of its own. Devices enroll on your hostname, which is where
a notification tap should land.
