Simple Set Push Notification

Simple Set Push Notification

I’ve always felt that setting up browser push notifications is like assembling IKEA furniture: looks simple from the outside, but somehow you end up fighting with pieces you didn’t even know existed. So instead of suffering every time, I built Simple Set Push Notification, a tiny web tool that handles the boring parts for you.

This tool includes a clean subscription page (just press the button, done), a form for sending custom notifications, a quick-send endpoint for fast testing, and even a subscriber viewer so you can see who’s actually listening to your broadcasts. It stores subscriptions in a simple JSON file because not everything needs a full database, sometimes flat files are enough for a peaceful life.

Built using PHP, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and a Service Worker, this tool is perfect if you want to:

  • Enable browser push notifications without touching complex configs
  • Send title/body/image/icon messages easily
  • Test push notifications instantly with a Quick Send endpoint
  • Inspect all active subscribers in one clean page

It’s lightweight, straightforward, and saves you from the usual push-notification headache. Basically: no nonsense, no over-engineering, just a practical tool that gets the job done.
