About TipOff

TipOff is a push notification gateway that lets you send notifications with actionable buttons from any source and receive user responses back via the delivery method of your choice.

It was built to solve a specific problem: connecting task managers, CI pipelines, monitoring systems, and other tools to mobile push notifications with real interactivity. Not just tap to open the app but tap Done to mark the task complete, right from the notification.

TipOff owns the delivery pipeline. It doesn't poll your upstream services or transform source-specific data. You send a notification via the API, your users act on it, and TipOff delivers the callback to your agent, webhook, SSE stream, or polling endpoint.

How it fits together

The server is hosted at api.tipoff.dev and handles push delivery via Apple APNs. You integrate in one of two ways: run the agent binary locally for always-on action routing via YAML adapters, or connect directly via the REST API using SSE, webhooks, or polling — whatever fits your stack.

Open Source

The server and agent are open source under the MIT license. The agent is designed to be self-hosted — it's how you connect your local services to the TipOff API. The server source is available for reference and contributions, though it requires Apple APNs credentials to deliver push notifications.
