Apple releasing support for web push was a big reason I decided to build an API for sending push notifications to PWAs.

Relatively easy to work with, though I hope their OS integration will add support for more native iOS notification features like actions.

If you wanna try out native push notifications it's pretty fast to try out: https://alerty.dev

Is there a trial or free tier to try out? I’m only seeing options to pay $5 to see if this could fit my workflow.

Edit: on the account page, it says “You're currently on the free plan.” But I can’t do anything with notifications.

Sorry I missed this. Yes there is a free trial- right now you get 100 notifications to test while building your integration out. Also a promo on producthunt today for 20% off.

it seems the WebPush on Safari does not play sound alert

The API also has support for things like custom vibrations, urgency, icons, and action URLs. But- these are minimally supported by Safari Desktop and Safari Mobile today.

I hope Safari iOS adds support for actions and shortcut workflows when clicking a notification.
