Founding release · macOS 15.0+
Leave your Mac.
Keep its alerts.
NotiFerry forwards Notification Center alerts from Mac-only apps to your iPhone—automatically, with no per-app integrations.
NotiFerry is only for notifications on your own Mac and iPhone. It must not be used for covert monitoring, parental control, employee surveillance, or accessing another person's notifications.

Built for the alerts that keep work moving
Step away without losing the thread
Your Mac already knows. Now your iPhone can too.
Let the long job finish without you.
Xcode archives, video renders, uploads, backups, and data exports can reach your pocket when they complete.
Carry alerts that never had an iPhone app.
Forward notifications from specialist utilities, home-server software, and anything else living only on your Mac.
A short path to the first test
Three clear steps. No terminal required.
The setup is designed around the moment that matters: seeing a real Mac alert arrive on your own iPhone.
Grant read-only access
Choose the exact Notification Center folder in the macOS picker. NotiFerry never asks for Full Disk Access.
Connect your iPhone
Install the free ntfy companion and subscribe to the long random topic NotiFerry creates. Treat that topic as a bearer secret.
Receive a real test
Confirm that the test reached your iPhone to start your trial. Then leave your desk and keep the alerts that matter.
Plain-language privacy
Sensitive access deserves an honest product.
NotiFerry can see the app name, title, and preview text of the Mac notifications you choose to forward. We make that tradeoff visible before anything real leaves your Mac.
Read the full data flowNo Full Disk AccessYou grant read-only access to one exact folder.
You control the previewFull text, app and title, or a generic alert.
No notification-content analyticsText, app names, topics, and file paths stay out.
Bounded local outboxUp to 1,000 privacy-filtered alerts; 24-hour delivery retention, purged on queue activity, with bounded stored fields.
Founding release transportThis v1 route is not end-to-end encrypted. ntfy may process and cache forwarded content for about 12 hours.
Not for regulated or highly sensitive dataDo not forward health, financial, legal, credential, or other regulated content; choose generic alerts when a source may expose it.
Good questions, direct answers
Before you connect Notification Center.
Does the Mac need to stay on?
Yes. Your Mac must be awake and logged in for NotiFerry to see and forward new notifications.
Does it really work with every Mac app?
NotiFerry reads new entries from Notification Center rather than integrating apps one by one. That gives it broad coverage, but macOS does not provide a public cross-app notification API, so forwarding is best-effort rather than guaranteed.
What can I hide?
Choose full previews, app and title only, or a generic alert. You can pause forwarding and disable individual apps at any time.
Where does notification content go?
After your privacy mode is applied, pending fields can wait in a local SQLite queue capped at 1,000 notifications. Rows stop being eligible for delivery after 24 hours and are deleted during the next enqueue or delivery activity; an inactive local database can therefore retain an ineligible row longer. The founding release then delivers through ntfy, whose public service processes content and may cache it for roughly 12 hours. Notification text is excluded from automatic analytics and from the privacy-safe diagnostic report.
What happens after the trial?
The 7-day trial begins only after you explicitly confirm that the test arrived on your iPhone. Its start and history remain in macOS Keychain after the in-app reset and a reinstall. The founding license is a one-time €9.99 purchase with a 30-day full refund window. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
