Small, buildable, and deliberately simple.
An ESP32-C3, monochrome OLED, and capacitive control create a focused display you can print, assemble, and adapt yourself.
An open notification ecosystem
Turn meaningful WordPress, Strapi, Astro, and backend events into local activity or connected alerts without building a delivery system from scratch.
From event to action
Notificator separates the event source, rule, and delivery so you understand what each integration is watching and where every alert will go.
An order arrives, content is published, a form fails, or an editor changes an entry.
Apply conditions, render useful details, set priority, and control throttling.
Built for WordPress
Scan installed plugins, choose from ready-made templates, or register events directly from your own code. Dashboard alerts work immediately. No API key is required.
DiscoverFind useful hooks with confidence, risk, and plain-language descriptions.
ConfigureBuild readable notifications with conditions, placeholders, and priorities.
ReuseExport your setup and import it on another WordPress site.
One connected ecosystem
Start locally in WordPress or Strapi, connect trusted Astro and Node.js events, and review alerts in your browser or mobile app. Create your account and API keys on either, then add a dedicated device when useful.
Discover hooks, build notifications, and review important activity directly inside WordPress.
Explore WordPress → PreviewCreate lifecycle rules and keep matching content activity inside Strapi or send it onwards.
Explore Strapi → PreviewSend useful alerts from Astro Actions, API routes, webhooks, server workflows, and successful production builds.
Explore Astro → Official SDKConnect server applications, workers, queues, and functions through the hosted Notificator API.
Explore Node.js → Web beta + mobileCreate API keys, read notifications, and monitor devices in the dashboard or app. Add the app for mobile push.
Explore the dashboard → PhysicalRoute selected alerts to dedicated displays, printers, and other compatible Notificator devices.

Build the compact open-source Base or install the Touch preview on tested ready-made hardware. Both receive selected alerts through the same Notificator account and MQTT connection.

Install the preview firmware on the supported Waveshare touchscreen for richer navigation, audio, history, and on-device settings.

The Base enclosure is based on the TinyTosh Mini Retro PC by Uladzimir Hitsarau and remains separately licensed.
Ready to connect
Use a guided CMS integration, add the Astro package to trusted server workflows, or connect another backend through the official Node.js SDK.

The integrations, SDKs, and device firmware are developed in public. Inspect the code, report an issue, build a new path, or support the work that keeps the ecosystem moving.
Independent tools for turning meaningful software events into useful alerts.
Behind Notificator
Notificator is created and maintained by Vagelis P., a software developer and maker turning software events into useful signals in the physical world.
What started as a small experiment continues to grow thanks to the feedback, support, and contributions of people from the WordPress and open-source communities.
