FEATURES
• Push Notifications—When a Growl notification pops up on your computer, it's sent to Prowl and displayed on your iOS device within seconds.
• Sweet application support—Prowl has support from a bunch of cool applications and services. Check out the full list at http://prowlapp.com/apps.php
• Redirections—Launch a different application when you open a push notification. For example, a notification from your desktop Twitter client can relaunch into your favorite mobile client. You can even pick custom URLs to launch, so you can go anywhere!
• Email to push—Use your Prowl email address (from the Prowl homepage's "API keys" tab) to get email delivery right on your device. Generate as many email addresses as you need!
• An amazing API—Use the Prowl API with a multitude of libraries in various programming languages. You can send notifications from anything that can talk to the internet, and do some fun things along with it.
• Quiet Hours—During the hours you specify, only the badge numbers are updated. No matter the source. Instead of getting a noisy alert, messages are quietly delivered. You can allow emergency-priority items to break quiet hours.
• Do Not Disturb—Keep the application quiet whenever you're busy, or when you need a break from a constant alert. Controllable from within the application.
• Control—Open the edit view to get a quick glance at your notifications, and do away with pesky ones. Quickly copy, email or SMS a notification directly from Prowl (depending on device and iOS version).
• Browse quickly—Use Prowl's internal browser to quickly open links from a notification without having to open Safari.
• History—Up to 10 days of notifications are kept on the server. You can delete notifications that you don't want to see any more, or remove all of your history.
• Customized notifications—Only events you want are sent to Prowl. You can specify all kinds of conditions from the Prowl plugin for Growl.
• Send any message to your device—From the Prowl website, you can send any text to your device: links and phone numbers are automatically linked, so you can easily navigate around without having to worry about typos. From the website or API, you can also automatically redirect to the attached URL.

Reliably Pushing Me Notifications For Years

Doss://jb on

I want the developer(s) and owners to know how much I love this app. Thank you for continuing to support it.

Hasn’t been updated in 6 years

Mark 2000 on

Growl is quickly becoming obsolete. Apps are quietly dumping it. I only have a single app that still uses it via a plugin. I’m just glad the server is still working at least. But in every other way this is abandonware.

Most awesome app! Where’s donate button? Hope dev can keep it going in app str.

Most awesome app! Where’s donate button seriously? Love it so much I worry about changes in the in the app str reqs disabling it. Hope dev can keep it going in app str. This is the best non-commercial notification platform and app out there with a very generous rate limit of 1000 API calls per hour and website allows you to create many API keys. API calls to send a push notification uses POST method with the API key in the body of the HTTP request which is more secure than the GET method with the API key directly in the URL which is what most push notification platforms do. Platform is very quick to respond. App works very well. Also I suspect most commercial push notification apps that offer a free limited option are data mining the messages of the users. This developer has a better and mite clear privacy policy on the app’s website. Really hoping dev will be able to keep this app going throughout any changes in the app str. Would like to show support by tapping on a donate/leave a tip button, or through whatever alternative method available.

Still going!

I feel like I have been using this app for 10yrs. I still am and am still very happy. Like a unix command it does one thing very well. My home automation uses this as its escalation to my phone for out of standard conditions. Thank you to the author for continuing to support!

Simple notification app but needs iPhone X screen size update.

XavierBklyn on

It’s simple and does what you need it to do. But the app seems to be abandoned over five years ago. I’m doubtful Prowl will be around much longer.

Great app

I’ve been using this app for a number of years with my Indigo home automation system. It’s almost indispensable. I’m glad it’s still being maintained.

Great custom notifications

notification time on

United States

I use prowl to notify me about local air quality in realtime. It’s great! Apple ought to allow custom sounds for third party app notification. Would be perfect to have arbitrary number of types and user custom sound based on message contents. This change would allow very versatile notifications like voice announcing data inside message etc. Can select 5 different sounds from a preset list of 6. Defaults are solid, but would greatly benefit from even purchased ringtones being available.

Perfect for notifications

Love this capability... wrote a Python script to push notifications from Raspberry pi projects to my phone, works great.

Works :)

I was able to set it up so that I would receive monitoring alerts (nagios) via IOS notifications using prowl. So far notifications have arrived as quickly (or better) than email->sms.
