PushBits

PushBits relays push notifications from a simple web API to users through Matrix. It provides an API and CLI for managing users and applications, supports multiple users and multiple channels, and stores passwords with Argon2 as its key derivation function. An optional setting checks for weak passwords through Have I Been Pwned. The project’s stated vision includes compatibility with Gotify’s sending API; the research describes this as an aim rather than confirming complete compatibility.

The program is intended for users who want to trigger notifications programmatically and receive them over Matrix. Deployment is available through Docker Compose, although the supplied research does not provide installation steps.

PushBits most directly replaces Pushover for push-notification delivery. It covers the same basic task while routing messages through Matrix and avoiding the need for an additional notification app. This approach suits people who prefer Matrix and want server-side user and application management. It falls short for anyone who needs a receiving route other than Matrix. The research also does not establish full Gotify API compatibility, so users relying on that interface should treat it as a project goal rather than a confirmed replacement.
