## πΆ Baby break - My baby girl was born!
Hey folks, my daughter was born on 8/30/22, so I'll be taking some time off from working on ntfy. I'll likely return
to working on features and bugs in a few weeks. I hope you understand. I posted some pictures in [#387](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/387) π₯°

**ntfy** (pronounce: *notify*) is a simple HTTP-based [pub-sub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern) notification service.
It allows you to **send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts** from any computer, entirely **without signup or cost**.
It's also open source (as you can plainly see) if you want to run your own.
I run a free version of it at **[ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh)**. There's also an [open source Android app](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android) (see [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.heckel.ntfy) or [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/io.heckel.ntfy/)), and an [open source iOS app](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-ios) (see [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ntfy/id1625396347)).
