Push Notification - Tester - Send a test Apple push from your Mac
Push Notification - Tester is a Mac app for sending Apple Push Notification service (APNs) messages straight from your desktop, without standing up a backend first. You choose a push certificate from your Keychain, paste a device token, write a payload, and send. It is a small, focused tool for the moment when you just need to know whether a push can reach a device.
It is built for iOS developers, QA engineers, and backend teams who are debugging push delivery. A developer adding notifications to a new app can confirm that the certificate and token are right before any server code exists. A tester can send the exact payload that triggers a bug, and a backend engineer can check what a working push looks like before wiring up their own service.
The key features are short and practical. You can send APNs pushes from your Mac with no server dependency. The push certificate is selected directly from Keychain, and the app supports .p12 and .pem workflows. You can paste any device token and send in seconds. You can target either the Development (sandbox) environment or Production. You can also write custom JSON payloads for alerts, badges, sounds, and silent content.
It sends the test push you type, one at a time. It is not a marketing or campaign tool, and it does not store a list of users or schedule bulk sends.
Push Notification - Tester is free to download from the Mac App Store, and the App Store lists no in-app purchases for it. It requires macOS 14.6 or later.
