Elaan runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 55 installs a week from npm. Last commit 15 Aug 2026.
Create Elaan notification types, templates and brands, trigger sends, and debug delivery.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Elaan every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
