Turn meaningful events into alerts you can act on.

Notificator is a free and open-source notification ecosystem for WordPress, Strapi, Astro, Node.js backends, a web dashboard, mobile apps, and compatible physical devices.

Discover useful WordPress events, define Strapi content rules, or send trusted server events from Astro and Node.js, then choose where each alert belongs: in a local activity view, in the web inbox, on your phone, by optional email, or on an MQTT-connected device.

• WordPress: install Notificator Project from WordPress.org. Local dashboard alerts work without a Notificator account.
• Strapi, Astro, or Node.js: choose your integration on the Get Started page, with package links and setup instructions.
• Your account, in a browser: open the web dashboard (beta) to register, create API keys, review notifications, and manage supported devices. No mobile app installation is required.
• Mobile push: get Notificator Project for iPhone and iPad from the App Store, sign in with the same account, and allow notifications. Android is coming to Google Play; it is not publicly available yet.

The dashboard guide explains notifications, API keys, MQTT settings, device monitoring, and supported OTA updates. In-dashboard toasts appear while the dashboard is open; they are not background browser push.

WordPress dashboard alerts and the Strapi activity log work locally without an account or API key. Remote delivery is optional and can connect the web inbox, mobile app, email alerts, and user-owned MQTT infrastructure.

Create an account and integration API keys in the web dashboard (beta) or mobile app. Use either to read connected notifications and monitor devices; install the app when you want mobile push. Both clients share the same account. The Notificator web dashboard is separate from the local WordPress dashboard.

Notificator is designed to work beyond the browser.

A compact maker-friendly reference device built around an ESP32-C3 SuperMini, SSD1306 OLED display, and capacitive control. Base firmware is the stable hardware channel.

A touchscreen firmware preview for the Waveshare ESP32-S3 Touch LCD 3.49, with alert history, clock and weather views, audio, on-device Wi-Fi setup, orientation support, and dedicated settings.

An upcoming device path intended to let selected Notificator alerts trigger compatible smart-home and office devices. It remains under development and is not yet available as a firmware release.

More compatible firmware targets can be added without forcing different devices onto the same hardware assumptions or update channel.

• Use WordPress dashboard alerts or Strapi activity without creating a Notificator account.
• Keep Astro and Node.js API keys in trusted server environments and out of browser bundles.
• Enable remote delivery only for notifications that need it.
• Connect compatible devices through your own HiveMQ Cloud cluster.
• Keep MQTT credentials out of the Notificator account database.
• Export saved WordPress notification configurations and reuse them across sites.
• Install supported firmware from the browser and continue with signed OTA updates.
• Review the project's external services and data handling in the privacy policy.

Notificator was first introduced publicly at WordCamp Athens 2025. Since then, tens of early-access devices have reached testers across multiple countries.

Feedback from early-access participants, the Greek WordPress community, WordPress contributors, makers, and open-source users continues to shape the project. Thank you to everyone who has tested a device, reported a problem, suggested an improvement, or helped someone else get started.
