SailPush

Unofficial Pushover client for SailfishOS. Real-time notifications via WebSocket, background daemon with systemd integration.

Deep Sleep

SailfishOS has no system-level push service. WebSocket connections break in deep sleep. For reliable notifications:

mcetool --set-suspend-policy=early

This keeps the CPU and network alive when the screen is off. Without it, notifications arrive when the device wakes up (delayed up to the polling interval).

Install

Download the .rpm for your architecture from Releases:

devel-su pkcon install-local ./sailpush-<version>.rpm
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now sailpush.service

Upgrading: install the new RPM over the old one. Credentials and settings are preserved.

Build

Requires Sailfish OS SDK.

qmake5 && make        # local build
mb2 build             # RPM build

Architecture

Two-process model: UI (QML) communicates with daemon (background, systemd) over D-Bus (net.sailpush.Sailfish). The daemon maintains a persistent WebSocket to Pushover servers and handles notifications.
