Is there a self-hosted alternative to SMS push? That's my main push notification, I can't think of another "service" I use on my phone. I'm an edge case though, already degoogled and don't let much push to me. SMS is a necessity for work and personal.

Hell, SMS is clear text, no need to get the notifications.

This issue is about the notifications for (supposedly) encrypted chat apps hat use Apples notification service (and Google's) such as iMessage, Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.

iMessage is supposed to be encrypted? I had no idea.
