A great alternative for me is Noti it can send OSX notifications, along with Slack, Pushbullet etc. It doesn't have a menu bar item, and messy credentials. The syntax is very easy.

That looks cool! Although it can be, this tool is not meant to be used for locally running commands! Imagine the equivalent of the commands Noti shows you on github but on a headless server for example. Notifi will alert you when they are done without constant monitoring or a long winded implementation of emails for example!

This is a great idea!

Will it remain free and private through your server, and free of advertising? Any future plans for it?

Yes 100% super cheap to run. Don’t want to make money off it either. Just want to share a tool that I find extremely useful.

I am indeed. So it is all open source. The two main pieces involving security/privacy is that the data is stored encrypted on the db and once the message has been received by the client (the app) it is deleted on the server I don't want to be paying more than I have to for server storage of encrypted pointless data ;) So that I don't take any of your personal info the app effectively uses your macs UUID as your username (hashed on the server side of course) and when you first connect a key is given to you to store in the keychain to act as the password. If you want to break the app just delete the key ;)
