Who knows. I didn't do a lot of research before making this. It was fun making it.
## Can I use this in my app? Will it stay free?
Yes. As long as you don't abuse it, it'll be available and free of charge. I do not plan on monetizing
the service.
Yes. As long as you don't abuse it, it'll be available and free of charge. While I will always allow usage of the ntfy.sh
server without signup and free of charge, I may also offer paid plans in the future.
## What are the uptime guarantees?
Best effort.
Best effort.
ntfy currently runs on a single DigitalOcean droplet, without any scale out strategy or redundancies. When the time comes,
I'll add scale out features, but for now it is what it is.
In the first year of its life, and to this day (Dec'22), ntfy had **no outages** that I can remember. Other than short
blips and some HTTP 500 spikes, it has been rock solid.
There is a [status page](https://ntfy.statuspage.io/) which is updated based on some automated checks via the amazingly

server and listens for incoming notifications. This consumes additional battery (see above),
but delivers notifications instantly.
## Can you implement feature X?
Yes, maybe. Check out [existing GitHub issues](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues) to see if somebody else had
the same idea before you, or file a new issue. I'll likely get back to you within a few days.
## I'm having issues with iOS, can you help? The iOS app is behind compared to the Android app, can you fix that?
The iOS is very bare bones and quite frankly a little buggy. I wanted to get something out the door to make the iOS users
happy, but halfway through I got frustrated with iOS development and paused development. I will eventually get back to
it, or hopefully, somebody else will come along and help out. Please review the [known issues](known-issues.md) for details.
## Can I disable the web app? Can I protect it with a login screen?
The web app is a static website without a backend (other than the ntfy API). All data is stored locally in the browser
cache and local storage. That means it does not need to be protected with a login screen, and it poses no additional
