Is there a generic app I can install on my phones that lets me push notifications to them from curl?

It would be incredibly useful if Apple (or a third party app) gave people a way to POST to some secret URL and have the form data show up as a notification.

I can think of a billion one-off projects that would benefit from this. The smoker/ribs are done, the pool is up to temperature, a post-interview email from that recruiter has finally arrived, etc.

If you're on Android, there's Gotify [1]. You can self-host the server and install the app on either the Play Store, F-Droid, or just by downloading the APK.

Notifications from macOS are possible with osascript:

Or in brief:

  osascript -e 'tell application "Messages" to send "Hello World" to buddy "J Appleseed"'

There is Push Bullet but they removed it from apple app store last year. Too bad. It's actually fit your use case very well. https://docs.pushbullet.com/#create-push

I use Pushover for this: https://pushover.net/

You can probably achieve the same effect with the telegram API and an afternoon of coding.

No.

That would take value add away from apple et all.

Install Xorg.
