Hi guys basically as the title says. I have a pixel phone running GrapheneOS and I really don’t want to install Play Services. Is there an alternative for me? I need reliable notifications for Telegram and signal. Edit: Thank you all amazing people for helping I learned alot and found best setup for me

nfty for applications that support it. your only other choice is microg
your only other choice is microg
Doesn’t work on GrapheneOS, since it requires root access for signature spoofing. And it’s not any better than Sandboxed play services.
Are you talking about ntfy? And if so, could you give more context? I run a self-hosted ntfy and am thinking of switching to GOS.
Sorry, forgot to include a blockquote. I was talking about microG. Ntfy is a regular user-installable app, you just need to grant it permission to run in the background, i.e. disable battery optimization.
Please update what you chose then, to help the next person.
I went with ntfy.sh and installed molly and mercurygram.
Good choices. I take this a step further and bridge IRC, Signal, Gvoice, and WhatsApp from a plugged in device or container to Matrix. Then use ntfy for Matrix notifications. This gives me notifications for all of them in Matrix/Element and thus through ntfy.
Example: Instead of Molly I use
mautrix-signalbridge as the device and it feeds messages into Matrix.There’s also a Telegram bridge: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/telegram/
