About:
NWPusher is a macOS tool for connecting to the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) for testing and debugging. It allows developers to send push notifications directly from their desktop without needing a backend server. This is invaluable for verifying payload formats and troubleshooting delivery issues during development.
Key Features:
  • Supports both legacy and token-based (JWT) authentication with APNs
  • Ability to send notifications to multiple devices simultaneously
  • Built-in feedback service viewer to check for delivery errors
  • Clean, native macOS interface for easy payload management
Use Cases:
  • Testing push notification payloads during app development
  • Debugging APNs connection and delivery issues
  • Sending ad-hoc notifications to a test device
Alternatives:
  • Postman – More generic; requires manual APNs header and payload configuration
  • Knuff – Similar tool; NWPusher offers more granular control over APNs connection types
