# Subscribe from the web app
|
|
|
|
|
The web app lets you subscribe and publish messages to ntfy topics. For ntfy.sh, the web app is available at [ntfy.sh/app](https://ntfy.sh/app).
|
|
|
|
|
To subscribe, simply type in the topic name and click the *Subscribe* button. **After subscribing, messages published to the topic
|
|
|
|
|
will appear in the web app, and pop up as a notification.**

## Topic reservations
|

|
|
If topic reservations are enabled, you can claim ownership over topics and define access to it:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div id="reserve-screenshots" class="screenshots">

## Background notifications
|
2023-06-16 22:55:42 +02:00
|
|
|
While subscribing, you have the option to enable background notifications on supported browsers (see "Settings" tab).
|
2023-05-29 17:57:21 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2023-06-25 04:08:57 +02:00
|
|
|
Note: If you add the web app to your homescreen (as a progressive web app, more info in the [installed web app](pwa.md)
|
2023-06-24 20:35:38 +02:00
|
|
|
docs), you cannot turn these off, as notifications would not be delivered reliably otherwise. You can mute topics you don't want to receive
|
|
|
|
|
notifications for.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**If background notifications are off:** This requires an active ntfy tab to be open to receive notifications.
|
2023-06-16 22:55:42 +02:00
|
|
|
These are typically instantaneous, and will appear as a system notification. If you don't see these, check that your browser
|
|
|
|
|
is allowed to show notifications (for example in System Settings on macOS). If you don't want to enable background notifications,
|
|
|
|
|
**pinning the ntfy tab on your browser** is a good solution to leave it running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**If background notifications are on:** This uses the [Web Push API](https://caniuse.com/push-api). You don't need an active
|
|
|
|
|
ntfy tab open, but in some cases you may need to keep your browser open. Background notifications are only supported on the
|
|
|
|
|
same server hosting the web app. You cannot use another server, but can instead subscribe on the other server itself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the ntfy app is not opened for more than a week, background notifications will be paused. You can resume them
|
|
|
|
|
by opening the app again, and will get a warning notification before they are paused.
