KUnifiedPush: KDE's efficient way of delivering notifications to your apps

KUnifiedPush, KDE's client library for the UnifiedPush protocol, has reached version 1.0.0. KUnifiedPush provides a way to deliver notifications instantly to multiple apps on your devices even if the apps are not running.

Ideal for social media, weather and instant messaging apps, it will also contribute to improving the battery life on your mobile devices.

@sxan I have never used f-droid, as I do not use Android.
Regardless, all banks and fintechs in my country will disable your account you if they detect sideloading apps like it.

ntfy is in the app store, so you don't have you side load it. I don't know how many iOS apps use ntfy, but many Android OSS apps will ask you over which notification system you want to work.

I was just clarifying that this isn't one of the XKCD proliferation cases. Apple and Google's push notifications are proprietary and give them full access to your notifications. Unified Push is the OSS alternative, and this KDE enhancement doesn't createa another one: it uses the defacto standard OSS push notification specification.

The fact that ntfy is in the Apple app store makes me suspect there must be some number of iOS apps that can be configured to use Unified Push.
