## Prowl Description
Prowl is an easy push notifications client iOS. Push to your device notifications from your Mac or Windows computer, or from a multitude of apps and services. Easily integrate the Prowl API into your applications.

A list of supported apps/services: 

The only limit of what the service can do is your imagination.

REQUIREMENTS
To receive notifications from your computer, you need the latest:
• Growl on your Mac @ growl.info, or
• Growl for Windows @ growlforwindows.com, or
• Snarl on Windows @ fullphat.net, or
• Any program or web service using the public API.

THE CRITICS
"I was extremely impressed with Prowl and the elegance with which I was able to view Growl notifications on my iPhone.”
—Aron Trimble, TUAW

"[A] powerful tool to connect your Mac with your iPhone, seamlessly over the air.
—Federico Viticci, MacStories

"Great idea. This opens up iPhone push notifications for anything you can think of.”
—John Gruber, Daring Fireball

"Probably the best $3 I’ve ever spent in the App Store.”
—Darrell Etherington, The Apple Blog

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 

• 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.

SETUP
Prowl is built into Growl 2.0. For earlier versions:  — for Mac.
 — for Windows.

## Prowl Reviews in United States

### ***** "Perfect for notifications"
Love this capability... wrote a Python script to push notifications from Raspberry pi projects to my phone, works great.
-- AzMoJeff, 2026-03-16

### ***** "Awesome with a few caveats."
This application is absolutely awesome. However, it is need of a serious facelift. Would be nice to have a dark mode and some additional sounds. Praying the developer sees this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
-- Mailboxuser187, 2026-03-01

### ***** "What can I say?"
I’ve used Prowl for over a decade and what can I say about it?

It just works! I’ve never identified a failure.  How much better could it be? It couldn’t with that kind of track record!
-- Ricm916, 2025-02-22

### ***** "Perfect notification service."
This service is wonderful for just about anything you want to use. From email to projects you tinker with, sending notifications has never been easier!
-- Usual°, 2022-12-22

### ***** "Reliably Pushing Me Notifications For Years"
I want the developer(s) and owners to know how much I love this app. Thank you for continuing to support it.
-- Doss://jb, 2022-12-01

### **--- "Hasn’t been updated in 6 years"
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.
-- Mark 2000, 2022-07-22

### ***** "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.
-- carver7, 2022-04-28

### ***** "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!
-- EarlCecil, 2022-04-22

### ****- "Simple notification app but needs iPhone X screen size update."
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.
-- XavierBklyn, 2021-08-25

### ***** "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.
-- zorkguy, 2020-11-20

### ****- "Great custom notifications"
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.
-- notification time, 2019-05-31

### ***** "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.
-- velcrokitty, 2018-04-11

### **--- "Time for an update?"
I like Prowl, and I’ve been using it for years. But I’d really like to see an update for it. I’d even be willing to pay an upgrade fee or, gasp, a yearly subscription if it received regular updates. The app works just fine but looks completely dated and doesn’t take advantage of newer screen sizes or any new iOS features. It’s too bad because it’s my favorite push notification service, but maybe it’s time for me to move on to one that doesn’t feel abandoned. ☹️

Two stars because it still works, but 3 off because of lack of development. Who knows if this has a future.
-- scottjl, 2018-03-20

### ****- "Great, w/ a small issue"
I like this app, and I cannot go without it. My only complaint is that I often have to rotate the phone into landscape mode to get the notification list to update. Hitting refresh tends to do nothing.
-- pboyvb, 2017-12-25

### ***** "Love this app!"
Love this app! It does exactly what it says and probably one of the best use of push notification on the App Store for me. However, I’d wish they’d upgrade to the iPhone X screen and also maybe a slightly cleaner interface with new fonts etc
-- Sewish, 2017-12-08

### ***** "Works well. Please add images!"
Been using it for years. My doorbell sends a prowl notification to me iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. 

Push notifications can now include images. Please add support for that to Prowl! I’ve had to write my own app for that, so that my raspberry pi can show me who rang my doorbell.
-- bhima, 2017-11-05

### ***** "Versatile, Simple and Effective"
I use this to receive alerts from my home automation system(isy994i) and from a myriad of scripts running on servers I administer. I even have a couple of IoT projects that use it(Arduino, ESP8266). Easy to setup and use. (Dead. Simple. API.)
-- westek, 2017-09-05

### ***** "Awesome!"
Great app! Worth every penny!
-- MrMac24, 2017-09-04

### ***** "I think it's good"
We shall see, I just started using it
-- ItsMeHilly86, 2017-08-18

### ***** "Great app"
I use this so much for monitoring rss feeds and uptime on my severs. Simple interface yet so powerful.
-- Goaliemn, 2017-06-28
