Heron Notify

Send a notification. See exactly where it went.

Heron Notify delivers push notifications from your app to phones and browsers. One API call sends it, and a plain delivery log shows what happened to every message.

What you get

Delivery log
Every message has a status: queued, delivered, failed or expired. Failures include the reason.
Automatic retries
Devices that are offline get the message when they reconnect, until the expiry time you set.
Topics and quiet hours
Let people choose what they hear about and when. Messages sent during quiet hours wait until morning.
Phones and browsers
Android, iOS and desktop browsers share one API, so you write the sending code once.

How it works

  1. Add the small client library to your app and ask the user for permission.
  2. Send a message from your server with one API call.
  3. Open the delivery log to confirm it arrived.

Questions

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan covers small apps and hobby projects, with a monthly message limit shown in your dashboard.

How long are delivery logs kept?

Logs are kept for 30 days. You can export them as CSV before they expire.

Can users turn notifications off?

Always. Each notification links to a preferences page where people can mute a topic or unsubscribe.
