Your comment made me want to check other FOSS messaging apps!
Briar — no push notifications.
IRC - could not find foss client with push notification support (maybe you know one!)
Delta chat — do not seem to provide the service themselves.
- emptysongglass 1y agoDelta Chat does provide notifications. Briar allows you to run its Mailbox app on another device, giving you the tool to host your own notifications without building your own binary. I know because I run both.
- 2025051000 1y agoDeltaChat, when using a self-hosted Chatmail server, has a service that detects incoming mails for a user account, pulls a token ID out of their account info (file in the maildir), and sends a request over HTTP to the push server run by the DeltaChat team. This sends it on through APNS/FCM, then scrubs the data from memory. The notification only wakes up the app. No encryption needed. The project runs on a shoestring budget and has no problem delivering 15 million+ push notifications per month without charging the users any money
